Ruby Princess Cruise Ship Delays Departure from San Francisco for Alaska

The Ruby Princess cruise ship, which was damaged during a docking accident, will not be departing from San Francisco for its voyage to Alaska until Sunday, according to the cruise line. Passengers on board the ship have been waiting for repairs to the hull to be completed. Some passengers are growing antsy and eager to depart, while others are trying to remain understanding of the situation. The cruise line is offering compensation to passengers who choose to cancel their voyage, but some passengers are still disappointed by the delay and may consider choosing another cruise line in the future. The 10-day voyage will now be a 7-day cruise, returning to San Francisco on Sunday. The ship remains docked at Pier 27 as crews work on repairs and wait for clearance from the Coast Guard. The investigation into the docking accident is still in its early stages, and the pilot is being tested for drugs and alcohol, which is standard procedure in such incidents.
