A Front Row Seat for Beautiful Scenery
The amended maiden cruise is scheduled for ten days later on February 18. This will be a 10-night voyage departing from Civitavecchia, Italy. The 4,300-guest 175,500-gross-ton ship is the largest ever built in Italy and the largest in the Princess fleet. Princess Cruises has cancelled nine of Star Princess' inaugural sailings after a review of the... “We understand the inconvenience and frustration that this news brings, and we do sincerely apologise for the disruption to your travel plans.

The news is a letdown for booked passengers, especially those who had already headed to Europe before this weekend’s scheduled cruise. This is incredibly disappointing for passengers, but perhaps not devastating for retirees or others for whom timing is not an issue. However, many passengers (like us) plan cruises well in advance and make arrangements for time off of work, which makes this particularly hard to swallow. Sad however, according to the recent pictures last month there was no way they were going to meet this deadline.
Big Interview: Clive Jacobs and Julia Feuell outline plans for OTT
We have an important update regarding the first six sailings of Allura’s inaugural season scheduled for the summer of 2025. We have been informed by the shipyard (Italy's Fincantieri shipyard) that Allura’s delivery will be delayed. As a result, we will need to cancel her scheduled sailings in June and July of next year. We are as disappointed as you are yet will eagerly await her July arrival. It should be noted that Sun Princess was also initially delayed, with her first two cruises cancelled at the last minute – one cruise two weeks before departure, and the other just four days before sailing. Following a comprehensive review of the remaining construction milestones, both parties have elected to adjust the ship's delivery date from July 29, 2025 to September 26, 2025, which will result in the cancellation of the nine inaugural sailings.

Air booked independently will get $200 from Princess for change fees. Because no details of the “technical work” have been revealed, it is unknown how much is left to complete on Sun Princess before she will be ready to welcome her first guests onboard. With luck, no additional cruises may be impacted and the ship will soon debut with all the fanfare the revolutionary vessel deserves. Earlier this month, the itinerary for the inaugural Sun Princess sailing was adjusted, but that change is unrelated to the delay and cancellation. With Star Princess now expected to debut in late September. Instead, the new delivery is expected in late September 2025, which means that the ship’s first nine voyages must now be cancelled.

In a review of upcoming construction milestones for the ship, both the cruise line and the builder agreed that it would not be possible to deliver the ship on the expected timeline while maintaining the expected quality. S Princess already selling cruises for Star Princess in 2025? People might want to temper their expectations on the first sailings if they are. Is Princess already selling cruises for Star Princess in 2025?
Princess is my cruise line of choice, but I see room for improvement. When it came to our main dining room, we dreamed big...or should we say "tall"? Three stories, an elegant design, multicourse meals guests rave about and a different experience for each level.

The new cruise must be booked by November 30, 2024 and have a sailing date no later than December 31, 2025. Because only the inaugural sailing has been cancelled at this time, the delay for the ship’s delivery and debut may not be long. The second cruise planned for Sun Princess is another 10-night “Grand Mediterranean” itinerary visiting Naples, Santorini, Ephesus, Athens, Messina, and Palma de Mallorca as the ship will make her way from Rome to Barcelona.

We were scheduled on the New Years cruise which was canceled after final payment. She is STILL not finished and no date as to when she will have her maiden voyage. That said, this is a beyond embarrassing situation for Princess, especially in comparison at present moment. Royal Caribbean are launching a new class of ship, the biggest in the history of the industry, and it arrived early. 20+ days of preview sailings and so much positive press from media/bloggers way in advance of the first sailing. It's all the buzz here in Miami and on many online media outlets.
However, despite everyone’s best efforts, Fincantieri and Princess have mutually agreed to delay delivery of the ship, which unfortunately requires us to cancel the inaugural cruise scheduled for February 8. All travelers have also been offered up to $200 (USD) per person to cover change fees related to flights if they have not yet begun their travel to meet the ship. Princess Cruises is also being generous to travelers who are already in the region ahead of the sailing.
New features debuting on Sun Princess include a top deck pool area with a glass dome that can be transformed into a nighttime entertainment venue. Fincantieri recently held the keel laying ceremony for Princess’s second LNG-powered ship, Star Princess. Princess Cruises and ship builder Fincantieri today announced the mutual decision to postpone the delivery of the next Sphere Class ship, Star...
