The Sun Princess' delivery has been delayed and its inaugural 10-day voyage canceled. That cruise had been scheduled to depart Barcelona on Feb. 8 and conclude in Rome.
Princess Cruises and Fincantieri have mutually agreed to a delayed delivery. Travel Weekly has asked Princess about the length and nature of the delay. A new date for a maiden cruise has not been set.
"We understand that this news is disappointing, and we share in that disappointment," said John Padgett, president of Princess Cruises.
Guests booked on the inaugural sailing will receive a full refund as well as a 50% future cruise credit. Guests will also receive up to $200 per person for change fees related to their air travel plans.
Princess said it is protecting travel agent commissions.
The ship is the first of the line's Sphere class.

I quit my job to go on the 3-year Life at Sea cruise that was canceled. I still haven't received a refund.
This is an as-told-to essay based on a conversation with Adam, a British man in his 50s, who is among the dozens of people who signed up for a three-year cruise with Life at Sea — an around-the-world voyage that was canceled two weeks before it was supposed to set sail. He wanted to be identified by first name only for privacy reasons; his full name is known by Business Insider. He and 77 other would-be passengers who have yet to receive refunds are asking the US Attorney in Southern Florida to investigate Life at Sea's parent company, Miray Cruise Lines, LLC, for fraud.
