In early May, Crown Princess resumed her first cruise since the global pause in operations. However, the vessel was plagued by several problems that affected its routes. These problems mainly stem from current engine problems, which affect its top speed.

Although Princess Cruises has been aware of the problems for several months, the company continues to operate the ship, leading to constant route changes.

The guests sailing on July 9 were already surprised by the removal of Ketchikan. Now the cruise company has announced that the Princess will arrive in Juneau much later than planned.

Due to technical problems that limit the maximum speed of the vessel, Princess Cruises was forced to make even more changes in the itinerary of the ship in Alaska. On May 7, when the ship sailed for the first time in two years, the cruise introduced several changes.

In a letter to guests booked on board the cruise ship on July 9, the cruise company advised them to change the route for the second time after removing the Ketchikan from the voyage:

“Please be advised that due to technical restrictions affecting the ship’s maximum speed, Crown Princess will now arrive in Juneau, Alaska at 4:00 PM on Monday, July 11, 2022, rather than at 2:30 PM as previously scheduled.”

The road map, as it currently stands, means that the Princess will set sail from Seattle to Washington on July 9. He will then arrive in Juneau, Alaska, on July 11 at 4 p.m.

The ship will then set sail for Skagway, for a voyage between 6 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. on July 12. Others include Glacier Bay and Icy Strait Point on July 13 and Victoria, British Columbia on July 15.
