Incidents
Incident 2006
On the afternoon of July 18, 2006 , after leaving Port Canaveral , the Crown Princess suddenly got into a steep incline. In addition to falling furniture and shattering panes of glass, water also streamed from the swimming pool into the staircases and elevator shafts. According to passengers, panic broke out on board. The incident is due to human error. A junior officer noticed a supposed malfunction of the autopilot , deactivated it and steered even more in the direction already taken by the autopilot, which ultimately led to a lean angle of approx. 15 °. After an investigation by the responsible investigating authorities, the ship was declared seaworthy again. The Crown Princess was on a nine-day Caribbean cruise and on her way back to New York . This accident is considered to be one of the most serious incidents in the history of modern cruises.
Incident 2012
