[post_page_title]The significance of the change[/post_page_title]
Anyone who’s ever taken a cruise will be able to tell you how tight the ship’s schedule is. There’s almost zero room to maneuver or improvise, as everything has a set time and date.
All advertised boxes have to be checked – unless something exceptional happens. The Pacific Princess’ passengers were acutely aware of this, as they tried to suss out why the captain decided to change course. They ruled out rough weather or seas, as everything was relatively calm and bright. That really only left one option – sudden danger.
