Unanticipated Change:
Passengers eagerly awaiting the mesmerizing beauty of Santorini on the Sun Princess's inaugural cruises have recently been informed of a slight change in their itineraries. Due to unforeseen scheduled maintenance on the cable car at Santorini, the port of call has been replaced with the enchanting island of Crete. While unexpected changes can initially be disconcerting, the cruise line assures passengers that the experience will be just as magical, if not more so. As passengers pondered the unexpected port change from Santorini to Crete, frustration grew as they were wondered how Princess Cruises could not have been aware of the maintenance issues affecting the cable car until one month before the inaugural voyage.
