Cruise Ship Delayed By Major Storm
Due to a major storm moving through the southern end of the UK, the Crown Princess has been forced to remain in Southampton for at least one night. The line has decided to keep the Crown Princess in port due to very strong wind, gusts, and waves. According to Princess, the line may be forced to hold the ship in Southampton until at least Monday night. So far, the Crown Princess has dropped Le Havre from her current itinerary. At this time, a revised itinerary has not been scheduled for the Crown Princess.
