croaziera Posted December 1, 2017 #52 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I just booked a 2019 sailing on the Star so looking forward to the new photos and updates. Sent from my iPad using Forums I am on the December 16-19, 2017 three night sailing from Vancouver to L.A. and that is the first sailing after the dry dock. I will be posting video and pictures of the Star Princess post dry dock on my youtube.com channel: Cruise Addict, once I get home on December 20. Best Regards, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar1950 Posted December 2, 2017 #53 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Sorry to hear from Pam that the Star is in such "need". Hopefully the dry dock will bring her back to life.Star is my favorite Princess ship. I will be on her shortly after dry dock (Jan 18) and will report back. We were on the same cruise. Unlike Pam, we did not find anything "in need" on the ship condition-wise. Everything was fine in our cabin, all of the elevators we rode (not often) were all in working order. We didn't have the new "luxury bed" mattresses, but, the ones we had were comfortable and in good condition. We did notice new mattresses being loaded as we disembarked (not unusual that they would phase them in over a few cruises prior to dry dock). Food quality is about the only thing that we found that had fallen off in several of the meals we had. Other than that and the PES lounge drinks (that is a whole other thread) you should be happy with the Star after dry dock. Edit: I did find the Internet to be much faster this cruise than in the past. A good thing in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julie3fan Posted December 2, 2017 #54 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I also just got off the Star, and took the UST. In addition to all the other items mentioned, we were told that all the air vents and ducting in the bathrooms will be completely cleaned. Each stateroom will also be receiving some attention, based on need. I was also impressed with the internet speed. I used it on seadays, during times I figured many others would be connected, and rarely experienced slow speeds. It made the 250 free minutes a worthwhile perk!

Katie333 Posted December 3, 2017 #56 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thanks to all, and especially runner for your website content - we are on the Star next year and eagerly look forward to the updates. We've sailed here before and as long as the IC stays (which of course it will) and the cabins get a refresh (we're in a mini, so looking forward to the new tubs), we'll be happy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdchiefthom Posted December 3, 2017 #57 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I'm glad to see the Star in the drydock, knowing I'll be aboard her for the 15 night Hawaii RT next year. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted December 3, 2017 #58 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I was just on a bike ride here in Victoria this morning, and I noticed the Star was in the drydock as I rode by. From all the noise, it sounded like they are already very busy working on refit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vampiress Posted December 8, 2017 #63 Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) watching the island princess drama leaving a day late from dry dock. should i be concerned about the star? i'm guessing the 12/19 15 day hi is probably ok, but the 3 day vancouver-la on 12/16 is possibly suspect. fingers crossed for on time everything.

retrembl Posted December 8, 2017 #65 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Does anyone have information as to when this is scheduled and what they are planning to do to the ship? TIA Sent from my iPhone using Forums Just got off the Star on 29 Nov 17. Saw a lot of mattress on the pier being loaded on board. The ships interior was in great shape, only minor fixed needed. Exterior need some paint. So maybe some updates to the specialty restaurants. But nothing major needed. We had a great 15 day cruise to the Hawaiian Islands, however that weather could have been warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim1 Posted December 8, 2017 #66 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Husband is working on the dry dock. He spends a lot of time in the Bahamas doing dry docks and tends to get very hot as the air con is mostly kept off. Needless to say, on this one, he's getting cold as there's no heating!

stairMaster Posted December 12, 2017 #67 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Noticing cruiseship staff milling around town. Glad they have a bit of time to enjoy the local attractions offered by Victoria. Also, lots of activity around the ship, hoping everything is on track and on time. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyjguy Posted December 12, 2017 #68 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Watch for a different view from the bridge cam 09:00 PDT on Tuesday morning. Star is being towed from the dry dock over to the regular cruise ship dock in Victoria. It is there that the final refit work will take place, prior to her heading over to Vancouver to embark passengers for the southbound trip to LA.
