Princess Cruises canceled a third Regal Princess sailing, from Galveston, on Nov. 10,  for generator repairs.

This followed cancellations of the Oct. 27 and Nov. 3 cruises.

A second generator failure

'Our team has been working to address a major technical issue involving one of the power generators, which has now been successfully repaired. As the ship was preparing for the next sailing, a second generator experienced a technical failure. This new and unforeseen development means additional time out of service is needed to ensure the ship is fully operational and safe,' the company said in a statement.

Princess is providing full refunds along with a 50% future cruise credit as a goodwill gesture.
