This is not good news
Update: June 19, 2009 -- 12:00 pm PDT
Following the engine room fire that occurred yesterday, June 18, we have spent the day thoroughly reviewing the condition of the engines and assessing the damage. Unfortunately, the impact is more extensive than originally thought and the ship must be moved to a shipyard to complete the necessary repairs.
We regret that the remainder of the current cruise, and the following cruise departing June 25, must be cancelled. We understand that this is a disappointing development, and we sincerely apologize to our passengers for the disruption to their vacation.
We will be providing the affected passengers on both voyages a full refund of their fare, plus a future cruise credit equal to 25% of the cruise fare paid for these sailings. We are currently securing flights home for all passengers currently onboard Royal Princess, and they will be returning home over the weekend. Passengers' homeward flights, transfers and associated hotel accommodations will be at Princess' expense. We deeply appreciate our passengers' patience and understanding during what is an unfortunate development.

I just finished reading all about this on CC as I have a roll call there for Nov Holy Land cruise on this ship. I wonder if they ever have a situation when they can't fix it?

I'm following Princess on Twitter with this incident. Stephen has updated you all so there's nothing new to post.300 hotel rooms and 24 motorcoaches in Cairo have been secured for passengers. They are doing a great job with the compensation and assistance to their guests. How 'bout frubals for Princess?
