Anyways, that boat is docked for at least 6 weeks. I don't think you'll be on that exact boat. Lets hope not anyways.

The ship was "cleaned up" and is back in the water. A statement from Princess Cruises

Crown Princess Statement 7/20/06
Updated 2 pm PST
Crown Princess departed Port Canaveral today for New York at approximately 5:00 pm EST, having received clearance from the U.S. Coast Guard, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the British flag authorities to sail.
We are confident there are no mechanical or ongoing operational issues that would compromise the safety of the ship, passengers or crew.
Crown Princess is expected to arrive at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal at 8:30 am on Saturday, July 22. At approximately mid-day, passengers will begin embarking for a revised seven-day sailing which will depart at 5 pm that afternoon. The cruise will call at the ports of Grand Turk and Bermuda before returning to New York on July 29 to resume its regular nine-day cruise schedule.
No passengers are traveling aboard Crown Princess as it sails to New York, as they have all now disembarked in Port Canaveral.
We wish to again express our sincerest apologies to our passengers and crew for this regrettable incident, and also extend our thanks for their understanding and cooperation during these difficult circumstances."
