Welcome to the family Ed

Unfortunately power loss is quite common, it could be caused by a multitude of things and can often take several hours to rectify. It also tends to happen without warning.

Missing flight connections isn't good although in circumstances like this the airlines are usually reasonable and will get people onto later flights home. Granted it is not an ideal situation to have to contact the airline and explain the delay and then get onto a later flight, but with full genset outtage, there isn't alot anyone can do.

Genset failures are not just on Princess ships, they can happen at anytime to any ship of any line and since most passengers wouldn't know or understand what had occurred, it is unlikely that any explanation would be given, especially if the breakdown happened overnight when people were asleep.

Just one of those many annoyances that happen sometimes when cruising. It's a case of suck it up and get hold of the airlines as and when and get things sorted.
