The newest ship of Carnival subsidiary Princess Cruises, has suffered an electrical power cut while on a Mediterranean itinerary, ending in a cancelled cruise.
The ship, which was on a 12-night voyage, was sailing between Mykonos and Naples when the problem occurred, resulting in no power for 3.5 hours and emergency generators supplying power for essential services.
Passengers onboard the cruise, which started in Venice, have been given a full refund and a 25% future cruise discount.
The company released the following statement:
“Today at approximately 1:30pm local time, Royal Princess experienced a power outage. Power is currently in the process of being restored, and in the meantime an emergency backup generator has been used to provide essential services, such as toilets.
“The ship is not in any danger, and the Captain has been keeping passengers regularly informed about the situation. The ship is currently on the seventh day of a 12-day Mediterranean cruise that departed Venice on 15 September. There are 3,594 passengers and 1,336 crew members onboard.”
