Just got off the Star from a 14 day Alaska cruise.

The only problem we had was the air flow in our inside cabin on Plaza deck

wasn't very good. Skywalkers was unusable due to a water leak in one window.

Otherwise everything was up to the usual Princess standards.

If you get a chance . Take the "Ultimate Ships Tour " it's not to be missed.

I think there was a recent thread about the Star... I was on her last in July of last year, and she was in great shape.

We have cruised 90 days on the Star Princess. It was the 3rd Grand Class ship built. All the original lounges are still there. It has a full fairly wide promenade. There are a total of 5 pools. Two are for adults and one is an indoor pool. The buffet service counters were improved during a dry dock a few years ago, I think in December 2011. The Star also has the International Cafe. I enjoyed all my days on the Star and would sail on her again.

So they closed Skywalkers for 2 weeks?

We just had friends on one of those cruises and they said they were there almost every night. :confused:

It was open but couldn't stand the smell. It had drydock last December in San Francisco.

Please correct me if I am wrong......

Thought the Grand/Star/Golden had the narrower Promenade deck?

 

 

I know the Sapphire/Diamond/Coral/Island have fantastic ones.

What smelled? A window leak?

[Kamloops50]

The water in the window grew mold and then dripped on the carpet. The promenade deck is very narrow. You can barely sit in a chair without people hitting your feet when your sitting down.

Oh. It stank up the whole place? Must have been some mighty mold! :)

We were on the Star for 10 days this past Jan. We loved it!!! We thought she was a beautiful ship. Our favorite place was at the aft Wake Pool. Never crowded and very relaxing!

We got a lot rain of this trip . The outside glass had a big hole in it . The inner pane had a steady leak into the lining of the ceiling and dripped onto the carpet on the floor. The leak supposedly been leaking for a few months.

This is really disappointing!

 

No one is available to fix a leak for months or replace a window? Do these repairs require a drydock?

[Kamloops50]

They tried to fix it. Everything it rained the glass leaked again.

The recent thread about the Star to Alaska is by saxgirl84.

It is on page 2 of this forum.

The photos are great!

Good info too!

Not making an excuse but.......

These windows are 100-150ft in the air. I would think it would have to be done in dry dock with a crane of some kind.

On the Sapphire last year there was the same issue in Skywalkers with one of the windows.

Other than the fire, I loved the Star Princess. ;)

Cruised Star Princess twice. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.

We just got off a B2B on the Star. We thought she was in great shape and would definitely sail on her again. We went to Skywalkers several times during the cruises for the elite/platinum lounge and never noticed any odors or leaking windows. Not saying it wasn't an issue, just that we never noticed it.

It's a pet peeve of mine but I hate when people don't know the name of the ship they are sailing on. The ship is named the Star Princess not the princess star. Its a small thing but it bugs the heck out of me whenever I see this error.

 

That said I've sailed on her several times, the last Nov 2014. Have no complaints, she was in fine shape last time I was aboard. Skywalkers is a great place to read and watch the views, I also love the promenade deck. Enjoy your cruise.

I took it to mean "the Princess ship called Star." These seem to be people who have not sailed on her but are considering doing so.

Yes you are right Shredie. We are inquiring about the princess called star. Sorry about the confusion.

There's another Star thread going on now. You should check that one, too.

We just did the 10 day Princess Lodges (Fairbanks, Denali and McKinley) and Star Princess Cruise and absolutely loved it! I went up and read in the Skywalker in the mornings and loved it. Alaska was beautiful and Princess was super organized. We couldn't have asked for a better time!

[freetocruise]

I took it to mean "the Princess ship called Star." .

 

Just a minor quibble and to agree with DougH's thoughts, it's the "Princess ship called Star Princess". Princess is part of its name, not just an indicator of the cruise line. I notice a lot of Carnival cruisers used to ships names like Carnival Ecstasy using the phraseology of Princess Star or similar. While that may not be the case with the OP, it does help to use the correct name no matter what cruise line.
