"Ruby Princess passengers await departure as ship repairs persist"

Passengers aboard the Ruby Princess cruise ship, which was supposed to be in Alaska by now, are anxiously waiting for repairs to be completed after the ship's hull was damaged during docking in San Francisco. A new departure date has been set for Sunday if repairs are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. Passengers have the option to stay on board for a shortened cruise with compensation or leave the ship for a full refund and future cruise discount. Some passengers are making the best of the situation, while others have chosen to go home.
