Ruby Princess Cruise Ship Sets Sail from San Francisco After Repairs and Clearance
The Ruby Princess cruise ship is set to sail on a 7-day Alaska voyage with 579 fewer passengers after completing repairs and passing inspection. Originally scheduled for a 10-day trip, the ship's itinerary was shortened due to damage caused when it smacked into San Francisco's Pier 27. Passengers were given the option to cancel with a full refund or continue with a partial refund and credit for a future trip. The cause of the crash is under investigation by the U.S. Coast Guard.
