The Sun Princess is 1,133 feet long, 155 feet wide, 21 decks high and 175,500 gross tons.
Compared to the Titanic: 882 feet long, 92 feet wide, 9 decks high, and 46,000 gross tons.
The Sun was part of a two-ship order placed with Fincantieri by Carnival Corporation five and a half YEARS ago, in July 2018. Constructing a 30 story tall, fully equipped resort for 4,300 passengers and 1,547 staff, that not only floats, but propels itself all over the planet, might possibly be a little more complicated than assembling a coffee table from Ikea.
Princess has officially apologized for the ONE cancelled cruise, refunded all payments, offered compensation for flight changes, as well as 50% Future Cruise Credit. Princess has also officially stated that the Sun will sail on February 18th. Multiple posts here on Cruise Critic refer to entertainers boarding the ship prior to the 18th, and the ship being officially scheduled to arrive and depart Civitavecchia on the 18th.
*I* was also supposed to be on the inaugural cruise, but this isn't a perfect world.
