You can watch it live, but cruisecritic is down, naturally.

I was on Cruisecritic @ 5pm and all was fine, then at 6 I heard about the tipping and went to CC and it was down - the system probably crashed as soon as everyone heard about it.

Hope it's up now, haven't checked this AM yet.

I'd like to rehear the comment by the woman who said the Captain's voice was "panicky" on the PA System....And the movie shceduled for last night?? Guess.......

ooohhh, I know. You won't get the full scope of it till passengers start telling stories. Cruisecritic still won't open the Princess boards! Really frightening, and a brand new ship!

I heard the movie was 'Titanic'. I can't believe they would show this on a cruise ship..............

Well, I cant believe the rudder went kaput!! "Titanic" for the movie, at least it was the last night of the cruise.Or so they thought.Is Mercury in retrograde??

Cruisecritic is up & running but sooo slow. I was on the Princess board for awhile. Seems like things are not so panicky now as it was pretty bad yesterday. Now people are leaving in buses and going to airports, etc.

It will be awhile until it is investigated and fixed to find the flaw. This happened on another Princess ship and about 3-4 yrs ago on a HAL ship (according to postings on CC) The HAL ship episode was verified to me by a ship's officer. Hopefully now it will be corrected permanently.

Was that a Princess ship that had the fire a few months ago? Was the cause ever found?

Hard to believe that any ship would show "Titanic" - especially due to content but also because the film is almost 10 years old & shown on TV daily!

This is SO awful. I had no idea how much damage & injury were incurred. My thoughts & prayers are with all the injured.

Just checked the Caribbean Princess Patters for last week and they also showed Titanic at MUTS! Weird!!

There's a new update on cruisecritic.com dated today. A lot of injuries, but everyone survived - a miracle. There were 3,500 on board.

There are two critical patients.. one being a five year old girl that the cruisers were really worried about.. Now the question is... would you cruise that ship!!! On top of that the Godmother for the ship is Martha Stewart...lol

I never knew that ships had Godmothers. ???

Every ship is christened - MS christened the Crown Princess!

I saw a photo in the NY Post yesterday taken by a passenger. It was very interesting when you compared the ship to the horizon; and the person who showed me the picture said he has taken 40 cruises & did not agree with the 30-45 degree list angle. I had to agree - the picture showed people standing near the pool; and one person was standing on the pool steps, seemed to be either entering or leaving the pool, but not holding on to the pool railing.

The news this morning said it was only a 15 degree list, not the 30 or so first reported. But still enough to do some damage. A friend called last nite and told us his mother was on the ship. She is in a wheelchair and was thrown from the chair. She was pretty banged up and spent the nite in the hospital, but thankfully OK

In case you missed my post, it is #3 on this tread. I was on the ship and believe me noone could have been standing on a pool step without holding on. My blog including pictures of the aftermath is at:

It's looking to be human error for a second time. Makes you wonder about the qualifications of the Princess ship's officers. Two major list incidents in 5 months.

All ships have Godmothers... are you ready for this....Martha Stewart was the Godmothr on the illfated ship.. On the NCL Majesty if I remember it's Liza Minelli.. the first Godfather recently named was a Senator from Hawaii..One of the cruise sites just recently had a story about favorite Godmothers of ships and why..

The Captain said that woman who characterized his voice as "panicky" was actually "drunk."

She's the same woman who describes everyone who doesn't give her what she wants as "rude."

Actually, I had friends on this sailing and MANY characterized the Captain's voice as shaky, as well it should have been.

I believe I read a report that immediately following the incident,the Captain sprinted from a distant deck area, and did his best imitation of Sperman up two flights of stairs,grabbing the microphone before taking another breath.Yes, he was breathless.
