Princess said the repairs will be completed soon, and they are optimistic that the November 10 cruise will depart as scheduled.
The Regal Princess recently repositioned to Galveston from Southampton, England, after a 33-day transatlantic journey earlier this month.
Technical issues on Regal Princess reportedly began during that voyage, which called at ports in Western Europe, Madeira, and the Caribbean before reaching Texas.
The seven-night Western Caribbean itinerary for the November 3 cruise, which was canceled, included stops in Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Roatán Island.
The 3,600-passenger ship entered service in 2014.
