In case you didn’t know, www.mycruiseplanner.net is the companion site to this one. While all the news and many specials are posted here, the true magic is truly over on mycruiseplanner.net. While it’s always been a great place to find out more about the cruise lines, ships and itineraries that we mention both here and in the podcast now it’s gotten better.
The site now features a cleaner design that should actually make it easier to find what you’re looking for. While the site still features our great cruise search engine that allows you to search by any combination of year, month, destination, length of cruise, destination, ship name or departure port; make sure you check out the new “Where in The World” widget. Not sure where you want to go or what line goes there? Using the “Where in The World” widget you can select a port and in addition to a description of the port you’ll also get a chart that shows you what lines visit that port and what months they call on that port.
Those changes are just the tip of the iceberg though. We have another major redesign of both the .net site and the .info site (this site) in the works. When we’re finished the two sites will share design elements from each other and provide you with an even better experience when visiting them.

The following statement was released by Princess cruises in response to the UK’s Marine Accident Investigation Branch report issued in response to the Star Princess fire.
We acknowledge the report issued today by the United Kingdom’s Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) regarding the fire aboard Star Princess which occurred on March 23, 2006, and can confirm that we have fully cooperated with the inquiry into the incident.We remain, as from the first day, devastated that the fire occurred and we wish to again express our deepest sympathy to the family of the passenger who passed away, and to our other passengers and crew who were affected. Immediately following the fire, and during the past seven months, we have striven to do everything in our power to ensure a similar incident could never happen again. In our opinion, the report issued today provides a professional and balanced overview of the various aspects of the incident. It points out the many safeguards and procedures Princess had in place to protect passengers, and it confirms the professionalism demonstrated by our crew members, to whom we are very grateful. However, we also acknowledge that the report shows there were lessons to be learned by us, and that some aspects of our response to the fire, and related training, needed to be addressed. We can confirm that we immediately took corrective action and implemented procedures which addressed the shortcomings detailed in the report. Today, there are no recommendations made by MAIB that Princess has not met. The measures that are now in place across our fleet will enable us to prevent, quickly detect and extinguish any fire. These include specialized training of our crew, the removal of combustible material from our balconies, and the addition of suppression and detection systems on our balconies. We want to assure our passengers that their safety, as well as that of our crew, is our first and most important priority, and we will continually evaluate all our procedures on an ongoing basis to ensure their well-being when they are on board our ships.1 comment so far
