All passengers and crew were accounted for, and passengers remained at emergency stations for a while as a precautionary measure until the company decided to return the ship to Port Said for a thorough assessment. The ship was operating on emergency power and lighting. “The assessment process includes flying various technical experts and regulatory authorities to the ship for a complete inspection, and they should be arriving onboard by the evening of June 19. Princess Cruises has canceled two voyages on the Royal Princess in the wake of Thursday's engine room fire on the vessel.
