Star Pride status

According to the Marine Traffic website, the Pride is still motoring off of the coast of Grand Bahama as of this morning, a full two months after the December grounding.

The assumption was that the company was going to take the dry docking of the ship to fix the damage as an opportunity to do the planned upgrade of the ship to the other two ships standards. With the planned return of the Pride to service on April 9, that scenario seems ambitious.

We sailed on the Pride which could use the upgrade and on the Breeze which was the obvious beneficiary of the upgrade.

Does anyone have any insight into this situation?

I have been trying to get this info out of Windstar PR with little success. The unofficial word from them is that ship will be back in service sometime in June (sailings have disappeared off the website but they won't confirm for me), but no details beyond that. I'll keep trying!

Thanks Eric, that makes more sense in terms of timing

WS will probably do the upgrade the same place they did the other one, in Europe.

What is the latest with STAR PRIDE, to be repaired or not . Windstar are being very evasive and silent on what the original PR spin said was a small hole in the hull .

Tons of updates in the main thread on this - look for the sticky at the top of this board. She's in drydock (or possibly out) being repaired (and possibly having the other scheduled work done, or possibly not...) WS has been totally silent on this. She's still scheduled for an itin on June 9.

Keeping a close eye on this. We're booked on her for late June and don't want to think of canceling or changing plane tickets!

According to the Marine Traffic website, the Pride is on the move heading for Algeciris Spain arriving on the 19th. Hopefully this is to complete the refit done so far in Freeport, and ready the ship for the early June scheduled return to service

Jut about to book for a trip on the Star Pride next month, do hope she is in the Med now....:-) any comments ???

The Pride is now half way to Spain from the Bahamas, due to arrive on May 19
