Caribbean Princess was forced to skip a scheduled port call in Dublin, Ireland after losing propulsion at approximately 7 a.m. local time. The ship was about 25 nautical miles southeast of Dublin, at the time, in the Irish Sea. Though propulsion was lost, at no time was the ship without electrical power and has been operating with full ship/hotel services, including air conditioning, galleys, lighting and toilets. The ships Chief Engineer, in collaboration with Princess Fleet Technical team restored propulsion, which the line said was due to "a glitch in the electrical system in the engine room." However, due to the amount of time the ship was without propulsion it had to forgo its visit to Dublin. Passengers who booked shore excursions through Princess are being refunded. Caribbean Princess, which was on day three of a 12-day cruise, is enroute to Belfast, Northern Ireland, which is the next scheduled port of call on the itinerary. Princess has sent technical and electrical engineering experts to meet the ship. (August 4, 2016)
