Princess Cruises has announced modifications to upcoming Regal Princess itineraries departing from Galveston, Texas, to address essential engine maintenance. The changes affect sailings scheduled for December 8, January 5, January 12, and January 19.
For the first three departures, the planned calls to Costa Maya, Mexico, will be replaced with extended overnight stays on the Honduran island of Roatan. On the January 19 voyage, the visit to Montego Bay, Jamaica, will also be substituted with a longer stay in Roatan.
“These adjustments will allow additional time in port to complete necessary maintenance while preserving the seamless sailing experience that guests have come to expect from Princess Cruises,” the cruise line explained in a statement.
During the extended stays in Roatan, the ship’s onboard casino will remain operational overnight, ensuring continued entertainment options for passengers.
To accommodate travelers, Princess Cruises is offering a 20% future cruise credit for those choosing to sail with the revised itineraries. Guests preferring to cancel will receive a full refund, including reimbursement for pre-purchased shore excursions, Princess-arranged air travel, and other related purchases.
The alterations follow earlier disruptions to the Regal Princess schedule this fall, when Princess Cruises canceled three voyages due to power generator issues. These cancellations impacted departures on October 27, November 3, and November 10.
Passengers impacted by the latest changes are encouraged to contact Princess Cruises for assistance and further details.
