The reason I ask is that I was following the Island Princess World Cruise roll call. They were in Dubai in March . They docked at the new port…….Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal. This is next to The Palm Jumeirah. I popped downstairs and asked at Guest Services. They did indeed say it was the new port at Dubai Harbour. Hope this helps. Same info given to me - Dubai Harbour Cruise Terminal B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is now on her way to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.... That means she has missed her first port of call of the cruise. 😞 Coral Princess is due to arrive in Dubai on the 25th June 2023.

At least in Dubai there are (hopefully) 2 days in Port - lots of engineering etc., in Dubai so fingers crossed everything is fixed - I'll keep an eye on Cruisemapper to see how you are all travelling!

They were supposed to arrive Muscat 9am their time this morning, but last I heard they were skipping Muscat going direct to Dubai to repair engine's. Don't know if they will spend three days in Dubai, or if engines repair goes well, move on and pick up an additional port like Santorini as the did in 2014WC, or maybe hit Muscat on the way out.

battst Posted June 24, 2023 #121 Share Posted June 24, 2023 It seems with the use of the medallion app a few people are losing their phone's. Can I suggest you add your room number to your locked screen. I only know how to do Android, just go to your google photo's scroll to library and open screen saver photo. Edit photo and scroll to highlighter add room number via text. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that the Tracker has ports of call on left. as well as the map. Note - the ports of call remain as per the itinerary, but the destination listed in the ship information is live via AIS. So Muscat remains as part of that schedule, but Dubai shows as the current destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are the lucky country, so we should enjoy it before the cruise lines wake up. Alaska is amazing. There is a lot of space for those ships to fit. We will never see those numbers down here - not enough wharves, and not enough passengers to fill them. If you avoid cruising Alaska because of what you see on a ship AIS, well that would be disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is really disappointing. They are showing 18 knots, so they are tracking pretty well, but understandable they need to fix something. I believe they are boarding/disembarking passengers in Dubai, so they won't be able to depart Dubai early if they are not aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely loved Alaska, but didn't like five big ships in port at once. We cruised by the Alaskan Marine Highway and stayed days in ports.
