Wow, that was great. Watched her sail under the GG bridge. Thanks.

That was so much fun seeing it cruise and and even controlling that webcam! What a kick

[sixkidsmom]

Watched her on both webcams till out of view. Now I really can't wait!!!

latest word is International Cafe is having problems and is unable to serve anything hot. It seems that the burners in the ovens are not functioning. Also no Gelato on the Star. The Gelato equipment that was to be installed in the International Cafe was too big for the size allotted. Looks like Star will not have Gelato like the other ships with the International Cafe..

Check out the chicken salad & schrimp salad at the International Cafe, they are wonderful & cold. We sail on the Emerald in 10 days & I'm so looking forward to those salads. Enjoy.

Thanks for the info Larry. I wonder what's new with Crown Grill?

Kiwi Kruzer,

Great screen shot of the Star in SF Bay, thanks for sharing ! :)

Thanks for the info Larry. I wonder what's new with Crown Grill?

 

I read somewhere that work on the Grill as well as moving the Casino was not completed.

I know they decided not to switch them, but I wonder if the Sterling Steakhouse/Desert Rose or whatever it was called on Star Princess was renovated into the theater kitchen style Crown Grill...

[spingal]

I can't wait to hear more from Larry!!! :D :D

There she goes...............

Brian,

When Mike and I were on the Star last month, our Head Waiter told us that the Crown Grill menus had arrived and that he would be involved with training waitstaff in the new venue that "would relace Tequila' Sterling Steakhouse." We took that to mean that Crown Grill would be located in the vicinity of the "Tequila's". Internet Cafe staff seemed to know that this venue was moving into the Card Room presumably to create additional space for the new restaurant.

 

I wish someone onboard would post here so we know what was accomplished during dry dock.

 

Sailing on the Emerald in 99 days!

It can only mean that they are having entirely too much fun...or that the internet is down :)

very good point and probably the reason

[LARGIN]

Friends on ship have laptop and should email me tomorrow..

I had a sailway on the Dawn Princess two years ago during fleet week and we also sailed a least 2 hours late. There were lots of small boats in the harbor and we had to wait for them to clear before we sailed.

 

Am also waiting for details on the updates as I'm on the Star in Jan. Can't wait to board her for South America and Antarctica!

[Toots]

It's fun to see the Star sailing out of SF harbor - I'm like a little kid waiting for more info from those on board. Can't wait to start our cruise in November - SF to Rio. By that time we should have lots of reports on the "new" Star. We sailed her to Alaska when she was brand new in 2002.

What? No gelato at the int cafe?

My du is not gonna b happy about

That

Does muts mean no more bands by the pool?

ThTs a little odd

Btw, we were delayed by 5 hours at sailaway out of sf

Last year

My wife and I just returned from a weekend in SF to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary.

 

When I woke up Saturday morning and open the hotel window guess who I saw?!

 

Yep, the Star Princess!

 

We were wondering when she would be heading out and happened to be out on a catamaran for a little sunset sail when she headed out. I got a few pic's and thought you guys might like to see them.

I don't have a great camera, so I hope the quality is ok.

Enjoy!

 

 

Ok, Nevermind, can't get it to work. I'll try and get them up ASAP.

[bdjam]

Thanks for the great pictures... :)

Could MUTS look any more out of place? :(

[ricko19]

Ok, Here you go! Sorry they aren't better shots, we were pretty far away.

Kind of looks like she's making a stop at Alcatraz to drop off a few unruly passengers after a night at the Grand Casino!

Thanks for the pics. I will be on her next Tuesday. Yippee.
