Stranded Cruise Ship To Resume Voyages

A cruise ship that was out of commission for three weeks was scheduled to resume sailing again on November 18.

The Regal Princess from Princess Cruises has been stranded in Galveston, Texas, since arriving there last month following a month-long journey from England. The marooned ship missed voyages scheduled for October 27, November 3 and November 10.

There was an issue with the power generators. Princess said it has since resolved the problem.

A spokesperson for Princess Cruises said: “Our team has worked diligently to ensure Regal Princess is fully operational and ready to deliver a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable cruise experience. We look forward to welcoming guests aboard and appreciate their patience and understanding as we resolved these technical matters.”

The Regal Princess weighs 141,000 tons, and can accommodate more than 3,500 passengers.

The cruise line just debuted new holiday experiences aboard the Sun Princess last week.
