Caribbean Princess
Voyage B237
4-day cruise
Updated as of October 26, 2012 at 2pm PDT
We look forward to welcoming our passengers onboard tomorrow. We continue to monitor Hurricane Sandy as there are different forecasts on where it will make landfall. As we previously communicated, we made the decision to cancel our call to Bermuda to avoid the worst of the storm with predicted strong winds and high swells. While we make every effort to sail our itineraries as originally planned, the safety and security of our passengers and crew is our highest priority and this decision, while disappointing, is necessary.

We are currently reviewing all options for a possible alternative port to visit during this four-day cruise. Once more information regarding the weather and berth availability is determined, we will let passengers know. Please be aware that as this is a very fluid situation, we may not have the final itinerary until later Saturday or Sunday.

For those who purchased Princess Vacation Protection and would like to review their options, please contact your travel agent or Princess for additional information. We have limited availability on other ships and itineraries.

For those passengers who are driving to the pier, we have been advised that the parking area at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is prone to flooding. For our passengers who were planning to drive and park at the pier, it is strongly recommended that instead of parking at the pier you make alternative arrangements.

We will continue to provide updates on Princess.com as more information becomes available.

12-day cruise

Passengers joined Emerald Princess today in Quebec to begin their 12-day cruise ending in Ft. Lauderdale on November 7. We continue to monitor Hurricane Sandy as there are different forecasts on where it will make landfall. While we make every effort to sail our itineraries as originally planned, the safety and security of our passengers and crew is our highest priority.

We are currently reviewing all options allowing us to adjust our itinerary by visiting alternate ports to avoid the worst of the weather. Once more information regarding the weather and berth availability is determined, we will let passengers know. Please be aware that as this is a very fluid situation, we may not have the final itinerary until later Saturday or Sunday.
