Cruise Ship Lists, Passengers Injured

The Crown Princess, Princess Cruises’ 947-ft. vessel that was launched in June, listed heavily yesterday after leaving Port Canaveral, injuring several passengers. CNN reported that at least 93 passengers, 16 of them seriously, according to the Cape Canaveral Fire Department. Before reentering the port, reports said that the Port Canaveral captain issued an order to the ship to stay offshore until inspectors determined if the vessel was safe to enter the port. The Coast Guard said all passengers and crew were accounted for. Though the cause of the list has yet to be determined, Princess Cruises is “investigating the cause of the ship's sudden list. The cruiseline terminated the cruise in Port Canaveral, and made arrangements for passengers to return home.
