I was going to ask about the similarities to ships traveling in Alaska near the glaciers, but I see you answered that. Good job, Chuck.

Hmm, an Antarctic trip would be interesting, but I can see that it might not be a great (or smart) idea for a regular cruise ship. Hope they have additional personnel manning the radar and sonar and have very good up to the minute satellite imaging.

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?

Welcome!

Sorry but all you can do is go on the cruise or lose all that you have paid.

You are right they don't have one yet.

Thank you for all the comments and encouragement.
I think I have to go on a cruise with strong belief and prayer.
I will write my experience here AFTER I'm back.
Thanks.
