Princess (STAR Princess) to Antarctica 1/10/2008 - ARE THEY ABSOLUTELY STUPID??? - Page 3 - Cruise Line Fans: Cruise Forum, Reviews and Chat From Real Cruisers

This is strange, and I am also rather surprised with this decision...

IF I were to do an Antarctic itinerary, I would probably choose one of the Hurtigruten ships...(maybe)

It was the MS Nordkapp that ran aground near Deception Island on January 29, 2007. Ms Nordkapp - Cruise Ship Runs Aground Grounding On Deception Island Ends Cruise For 300 - January 29, 2007

I think the thinkg that is the MOST puzzling in all of this is the reactioin (or lack thereof) on the part of those who will be sailing on this itinerary.

Hello.

I made a reservation on this ship one month before the MS accident in November.
I could not cancel because I did not have cancellation insurance. Since I have read all the articles about the accident and warnings like your postings, I am so so worried. I asked princess cruise customer service and they did not answer.
What am I gonna do?

I see that you are new to CLF.

Welcome.

Don't forget to stop by the "Introduction" section and introduce yourself.

This close to the sailing date there is not much you can do. Even if you had purchased the insurance, policies usually do not cover "changing you mind"

I understand how you feel, but there's only one thing you're gonna do, it's pray hard and go on the cruise, keep praying while on the cruise, that is all you need. We'll see you posting after the cruise and you'll tell us all about the prayers and cruise. Fear not, you'll be fine.

Odds are you'll be fine. Try not to worry about it. Have fun and post after you return. We'll be looking forward to hearing about your adventure.

I find it worrisome that Princess Cruise Customer Care did not respond...
If a cruiser has a legitimate concern, it seems to me it would make sense to at least try to alleviate those fears with a note of assurance.

They probably don't have a canned response for this concern yet. Anyone who got the query would not be able to respond on their own to THAT question!
