After completing a trans-Atlantic crossing from Europe, the Regal Princess has been out of service since late October.
Citing unforeseen technical work needed, Princess Cruises initially cancelled the vessel’s Oct. 27, 2024, departure.
The company later announced that the Nov. 3, 2024, cruise was also not going ahead due to essential technical repairs.
“We know how much effort and anticipation go into planning a vacation, and we are truly sorry for the disappointment and inconvenience this change causes,” Princess said at the time of the cancellation.
Affected passengers received full refunds, as well as a 25 percent future cruise credit (FCC) to be used for new bookings.
