Star Drydock PICS !!!

[judyf]

i didnt realized the star was docked in san fran....i also live near there, about a half hour south. i'm tempted to take a drive up just to get a peek before we sail on 4/18! thanks!

 

Let us know what you find out! PLEASE.

[Cruisegoer]

Just curious..please post if you have! It seems the NCL webcams haven't updated since the early morning hours...odd considering its now Sunday evening in the east.

hello

we are going to try to go up there again on tuesday.. weather permitting..

if we do, i will post some new pics on here...

 

 

happy cruising...

i wonder which day shes leaving.??? does anyone know. i would love to see her sail away!!!!

 

 

take care

[Cruisegoer]

I believe she is scheduled to leave drydock on 3/29 (Wednesday) so they can do testing and pass inspection for the repairs. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Has it ever happened when a ship doesnt complete dry dock and have to cancel a cruise that is booked with guests? I am getting a little nervous now!!!!!

[Cruisegoer]

Of course it could happen, nothing is foolproof. I am hoping NCL crossed all t's and dotted all i's before they began repairs though so that the Star is out on time. You have to realize they had time to plan for the repair and order parts, they also calculated what revenue's they would be losing during the drydocking...the last thing they want is to have to cancel another sailing. I am cautiously optomistic but I realize anything could happen.

[mkdawnt]

Wow I just "heard" that is was scheduled out of dry dock on Wednesday and now isn't scheduled until Friday, eek!!!!

[Cruisegoer]

Sorry can you explain your post a bit more clearly MKDAWNT?

Here are some pictures from today of the Star. The new paint looks very bright even with todays inclement weather.

Everything looks great...I hope it get's back to business in time! Where are our Azipod specialists.

Thank you for the great pics. I am going on the Star April 2. I have cruised four times on Carnival. This is my first time on NCL. I am very excited to see this wonderful ship and want to thank all for the wonderful advise and reviews I have seen in this forum.

Here is a shot of the Azipods, there was lots of activity working on something on the back end :)

[Cruisegoer]

Though I am unsure whether the Azipod repair looks complete. Still hoping for the best while fearing the worst.

Is it me, or does the STAR's star pattern look different? Other than the vibrancy of the colors!

it does look like the pattern is different.. like the stars are different and now theres banners of colors all on the side.. more than before...

looks nice..

Thank you for the new pictures. It looks like things are moving along.

 

Holmenclovis - we are also on the April 2 cruise and are anxiously waiting to see the Star back in the water. We have a roll call going if you want to join us. See you on Sunday!

She looks real good. I can't wait to see the pictures of her when she gets back in the water.

 

Anyone going to be there to take pictures of her test run?

[7SeasLover]

Makes me sad to see her drydocked. :eek: She belongs on the sea! Soon!

[marcyjane]

Thanks for the photo link.

I noticed after a long look at the photo's that correct me if I'm wrong I don't see the life boats, may they are giving them a paint job as well.

Will be on Star in May Seattle to Alaska.

Thanks,

Marcy:)

[electricron]

They are repainting the ship and it makes sense they would remove the lifeboats to make the job easier, as many less things to mask.

[judyf]

Okay it's Wednesday, did she get it the water yet? When I check the cam it states Mon 3/27.

[jerhardt]

Just checked the cam, and the date is Mar 29 and it still looks as if she's in drydock.

[Cruisegoer]

Funny I just looked at the cam, 2:38 EST on 3/29/06 and it still says the last update was Tues, Mar 28 at 8:12:47.

 

I guess you have a better cam then the rest!

[vette]

Can anyone from San Francisco help us?
