Star Princess is docked in Puerto Vallarta

[1emerald1]

I see from the bridge cam that the Star is docked in Puerta Vallarta.  I she there to repatriate crew?

[TM]

Most likely.  Either that or stopping for a service call after having dropped off crew further south.

Star and Grand are in PV - having traveled south from Ensenada anchorage.  Look at Grand's cam:

 

 

 

I'd assume dropping crew since PV is not a decent fuel and provisions stop.

I have been tracking them on marinetraffic.com.  There is no next port shown. I would not be surprised if the Grand and the Star stay there for a while at anchor. I have seen smaller ships fuelled and provisioned at Puerto Vallarta.

They could always go down the coast to Manzanillo for additional provisions as that is a major seaport.

Star now heading for Panama.  Grand and Koningsdam at anchor off PV.  Maybe a crew transfer will happen and then they head off.  Oosterdam on her way in to PV.

PV is an excellent port if the purpose is to drop off some crew members from Mexico and a few other countries in the region.  The airport (PVR) is only a few minutes from the cruise port and still has multiple daily flights to several places.  The US CDC really tied the hands of the cruise lines when they specified that crew members (even if healthy) were not to use commercial travel.  Otherwise, it would have been relatively easy to send Mexican crew home via commercial flights to Mexico (which still continue).
