Crown Princess Statement


Updated 5:30 pm EST
After departure from Port Canaveral at approximately 3:40 pm eastern time today, Crown Princess experienced an unexpected list to the port side as she began sailing north towards her final port of New York.
Initial reports are that a number of passengers did sustain serious injuries. There are also numerous reports of injuries such as cuts, bruises and fractures. We are currently assessing the full extent of passenger injuries, and have returned the ship to Port Canaveral to transfer the more seriously affected passengers to a medical facility ashore.
We deeply regret this incident, and are doing everything we can to make our passengers as comfortable as possible under these difficult circumstances.
We are also investigating the cause of the ship's sudden list, which is unknown at this time. We can confirm that the watertight integrity of the ship has not been compromised, and it is safe for passengers to remain onboard while the ship is alongside in Port Canaveral.
The cruise will be terminated in Port Canaveral, and arrangements are being made to return the passengers home. A full refund will be given to passengers, together with a full reimbursement of any additional expenses.
We will provide details about the next cruise after we are able to fully evaluate the situation. Crown Princess is currently on a 9-day Western Caribbean sailing, roundtrip out of New York, with calls at Grand Turk, Ocho Rios and Grand Cayman. Port Canaveral was the last port of call before returning to New

The pictures from the Pt. Canaveral web site don't show any listing at present

Reporter: Plan now is to get the injured off immediately, and the rest of the people will get off tomorrow.
