Update: Ruby Princess departure now Sunday after crashing into SF Pier 27

Updated on: July 7, 2023 / 5:19 PM PDT / CBS San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO -- A Princess Cruises ship that was damaged after crashing into the pier while docking in San Francisco Thursday is not expected to leave until Sunday, passengers said.

The Ruby Princess remained docked Friday, more than 24 hours after  the collision Thursday at Pier 27 , delaying an Alaskan vacation for hundreds of passengers. The ship was originally scheduled to depart Thursday afternoon before the crash left a gash in its hull and prompted the lengthy delay.

UPDATE:  Passengers aboard the Ruby Princess remain upbeat as they await departure

Princess Cruises issued an updated statement at 10:45 a.m. Friday, saying the U.S. Coast Guard was performing an inspection and reviewing the repair work that had been completed.

"We expect to receive an estimated departure time from San Francisco for today (July 7) once the inspection is complete," the statement said.

Shortly after 3 p.m., passengers told KPIX that they received word from the cruise line that the ship won't depart until 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 9.

The cruise line later tweeted confirmation of the new departure time.

2/5 Repairs are underway and our technical experts estimate that repairs are likely to take upwards of 24 hours, and the new estimated departure time from San Francisco is 1600 local time on Sunday, July 9. — Princess Cruises (@PrincessCruises) July 7, 2023

Princess Cruises also noted that the itinerary has also been revised to a 7-day Pacific Northwest / Alaska voyage, with stops in Ketchikan, Alaska and Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada, before returning to San Francisco on July 16.

The ship crashed into the dock at about 6 a.m. Thursday morning, leaving the ship visibly damaged and as well as damaging the pier. No one was injured in the incident and the cause of the collision was not determined as of Friday morning.

A spokesperson for the San Francisco Bar Pilots spokesperson said in a statement to KPIX 5: "We can confirm a pilot was involved in an incident at Pier 27 this morning. We are cooperating with all necessary agencies in looking into this matter and cannot comment further."

Passengers disembarked after the collision, and the new group of passengers was allowed to get on the ship for the Alaska cruise beginning at 11:30 a.m. The ship was originally scheduled to set sail at 4 p.m. Thursday. Princess Cruises said embarkation for the current roundtrip to Alaska voyage was completed Thursday with 3,256 guests and 1,161 crew onboard as the ship stayed docked overnight in San Francisco.

Princess said it was working to maintain as much of the planned itinerary as possible, and would be providing passengers "a goodwill gesture of compensation once the full effect of the necessary changes is known." 

Passengers who were embarking on the Ruby Princess' next 10-day trip to Alaska got an up-close look at the damaged ship.

"I was certainly thinking about how the Titanic's been in the news lately and so all of a sudden, I didn't know anything about this until she told me, the next person in line, and I'm thinking there's a hole in the boat? it feels a little iffy," said Maryann Will. "I've come all this way and was planning for three years so here we are."

"I guess I'm willing to accept that they wouldn't be getting all these people on a boat if they had concerns is my hope," added Will.  

"I just happened to see it on the news from my hotel room, I was waiting to check out," said Ann Portillo from Scottsdale, Arizona. "I'm sure they know what's best, I have been on many cruises and I don't see this as being a huge issue, it didn't look that bad."

"I just hope it's safe because of what happened this morning, I'm sure they wouldn't let everybody get on the boat unless it was safe," said Debbie McIntosh.

"As long as the lifeboats work," Mike McIntosh said as he laughed.

Get ready to get in line

May 25th, 2024

I love to cruise. This cruise however I always seemed to be lining up on disembarking there were multiple lines. It took a long time to get on the ship. I am diabetic and it took so long I was dealing faint. Once in board I went right away to get something to eat in order to stabilize my blood sugars and there was a huge lineup. Lol Everywhere we went on this cruise we were always lining up. I guess it is part of cruising but at my age it is very tiring.

Dissapointing

Alaska was fine just had issue with the cruise line. Won't sale Princess again and I will go back to booking myself vs this time I went through a travel agent

Passable Alaskan cruise with Princess Cruises

May 18th, 2024

Princess should improve the food quality & guests services. This will be my first & last cruise on Princess. Royal Caribbean was so much better.

Great Cruise through the New Locks

Apr 18th, 2024

Overall there were a lot of sea days with only a few ports of call. Could have added a Caribbean port to the itinerary for some more interest. Was disappointed when I booked there was an additional Pacific side port of call that was cancelled with no replacement.

4-6 cruises

Ruby Princess March 2024

Apr 15th, 2024

Overall, I’d give this cruise a C. Older ship with too many issues, the worst the sewage problem. This was our 2nd Princess cruise out of 60+ prior cruises, and our last. The entertainment was tired, the food good but not great. We chose it for the ports and enjoyed most of them. The staff was amazing. I felt bad they were working on a ship that smelled of sewage.

Apr 11th, 2024

I enjoy movies under the stars. My drams have come true doing Panama Canal cruise.

Great cruise

Mar 29th, 2024

Over all, had a good time. Colon, Panama wasn't appealing

Excellent Cruise But Don't Pre-Book Spa Appointments & Check Your Charges Before You Leave

Mar 24th, 2024

This Princess Cruise during the New Year's Holiday was excellent. It was a great way to celebrate while getting some much-needed rest and relaxation. However, the issues we have with faulty billing because of the huge disconnect between online booking system and the onboard spa have all but erased those good memories. We are left frustrated and disappointed in trying to get back over $800 dollars we were overcharged on the ship. The substandard level of care we have experienced with Princess staff off-ship (Customer Service) is so vastly different that that what we experienced with the excellent staff on-ship. Why is this the case? This may just be the reason we don't ever go on a Princess Cruise again.

Very disappointing ship

Mar 20th, 2024

The entertainment and the ports saved the cruise. Princess Ruby left a lot to be desired. Won't cruise Princess again.
