Pacific Star Conversion

[Star-Man]

Hi guys, I know its been a while since i have been around here but ive been pretty busy with uni and also not particularly into cruising at the moment.

 

Anyways, i was just looking through some new photos of ship spotting.com and came across this photo

What caught my eye was the white, blue and yellow of the ship in the background and sure enough, it is the star. Albeit with "puke-manturs" bright red funnel.

Eh, i havnt been on one in nearly a year and a half and it doesnt look like i will be booking one soon.

 

When everyone else you know (including the GF and her family) are going on one and you arent, its easy to fall out of it :(

I'd reeeaaally like to have sympathy for you....but...well....your signature makes it sound like Melbourne is an awful place to visit:eek: ...which it isn't:D ....so state rivalry forbids me from any form of sympathy:rolleyes: sorry....rules are rules.....;)

That trip was a disaster because of certain other reasons :rolleyes:

What a state they've got poor Pacific Star in at the moment.

 

And if anyone's interested, the ship that's the actual subject of that photo was formerly Pacific Princess, one of the original Love Boat's.

Hey, I was on the Oransay in 1973. It was my very first cruise, I blame my parents for giving me the "cruise bug". Am about to sail on my 17th cruise in July on Norwegian Sun. To me "it's the only way to fly"

I think P&O let her get to that state:rolleyes:

 

Hey Kim, wasnt the old Pacific Princess sold to Pulmantur? have they sold her now to this other company, and who are they:confused:

No, she wasn't that rusty the last time we saw her!

 

Not sure about the other ship... Will have to ask Martin, 'twas him who told me that it was the former Pacific Princess.

Chez is right. Pulmantur did own her but she was called "Pacific", interesting to see she is gone because she was one of their more recent purchases. The old PP's sister, Island Princess is still cruising as Discovery as far as i know.

She looked pretty rusty when we saw her in Noumea in November. I had this photo printed and she looked 10 times worse than she does here
