Allison opens today’s video with a reflection on the Louvre jewel heist — a reminder to make the most of travel experiences while we can, as history and treasures can change in an instant.
Also, today we’ve got a big update on the Sapphire Princess — she’s fresh out of dry dock, but there’s been a mix of exciting progress and a few bumps along the way.
Here’s what we cover:
1️⃣ Sapphire Princess Dry Dock Recap – The ship completed her dry dock in Portland, Oregon, before heading into the South Pacific.
2️⃣ Plumbing Issues – On day one, a pipe burst on Deck 10 mid-aft flooded 19 cabins. The Princess crew responded quickly — ripping out carpet, replacing padding, and getting guests back into rooms within hours.
3️⃣ Cabin Temperature Problems – Some guests reported rooms as hot as 80°F on embarkation day, but the issues were resolved after persistence from guests and the crew.
4️⃣ Dining Reservation Glitches – Multiple reports of reservations disappearing or reassigning guests with strangers — a problem occurring fleetwide.
5️⃣ Construction Ongoing – The new Crown Grill (replacing the Savoy Dining Room) and Makoto Ocean Sushi (replacing the Internet Café) are still under construction and expected to open November 7, 2025.
6️⃣ Specialty Dining Options – For now, Sabatini’s and Churrascaria remain the only specialty venues available with the Princess Premier package.
💬 Let me know what you think — have you ever experienced issues right after a dry dock, or do you think it’s just part of the process?
