Princess Cruises has canceled the Nov. 3 departure of the Regal Princess from Galveston, marking the second canceled cruise in just two weeks. The cruise line cited "essential technical repairs" as the cause and assured guests of a full refund and a 25% future cruise credit, valid through May 2026.
Princess Cruises has announced the cancellation of a second consecutive sailing aboard the Regal Princess from Galveston, which was originally scheduled for November 3. The reason for the cancellation is "essential technical repairs." As reported by Cruise Industry News, this cancellation follows a previous one on October 27, resulting in two consecutive disruptions as a result of persistent issues.
Princess Cruises reassured guests in a message that they would receive a full refund for all payments made, as well as a 25% future cruise credit. This credit is redeemable for reservations made by May 31, 2025, and sailing by May 31, 2026. It is anticipated that refunds will be processed within seven to ten business days.
Flights that were booked through Princess EZair will be automatically terminated, and travelers will receive a full refund. It is recommended that guests who have made their own arrangements contact the airlines directly for assistance. Reimbursement for change fees is available for a maximum of $200 per individual.
"We regret to inform you that this sailing must be canceled, as we have been unable to complete essential technical repairs, despite our best efforts," Princess Cruises stated. The Regal Princess, which was completed in 2014, is operated by a crew of 1,346 and can accommodate 3,560 passengers.
