Incidents
The Bermuda Sun reports a crew member has been accused of a sex attack on a woman on the cruise ship. The 40-year-old Filipino was charged with sexual assault in a Magistrates’ Court. He was accused of attacking the woman on board the Caribbean Princess, a Bermuda-registered vessel. The sailor was brought to Bermuda from Miami by the Bermuda Police Service to face the charges. Kenrick James represented the defendant. He was given $5000 bail and his trial will begin on March 7.
On March 12, 2012, the Caribbean Princess suffered an issue to the port side propulsion engine, which required it to return to its home port of San Juan, Puerto Rico after a stopover in St. Maartin. The problem caused Princess Cruises to cancel the next two trips (scheduled for March 18 and 25).

“An element of exaggeration clings to the popular judgment: great vices are made greater, great virtues greater also; interesting incidents are made more interesting, softer legends more soft.”
