April 2020Structural and Technical Issues

On April 15, 2020, Princess Cruises announced that the vessel's delivery from the shipbuilder Fincantieri Monfalcone will be delayed. The delay was due to Fincantieri's shipyards closures (all European facilities - production sites and offices) due to the Coronavirus pandemic. In March-April 2020, Italy was completely lockdown after the Government imposed no-travel restrictions nationwide since March 10th.

As a result, all planned for Enchanted Princess cruises with departures between July 1 and July 25 (including) were cancelled. These were a total of 11 itineraries (with lengths 7-14-21-days) leaving from Southampton, Barcelona and Piraeus-Athens. The ship's christening ceremony was also cancelled. The event was initially planned to be held in Port Southampton (England) on June 30th - right before starting the Inaugural Cruise (July 1-11) from Southampton to Civitavecchia-Rome.

In early-May, Princess Cruises cancelled the ship's entire European program (including the Transatlantic crossing to Florida), with the Inaugural Cruise rescheduled for November 21 (Caribbean from Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale Florida).

In early-November was cancelled the ship's entire 2020 program and the maiden voyage was rescheduled for January 2, 2021 (14-day B2B / 7-day Caribbean from homeport Fort Lauderdale).
