bahrain_not_dubai! Posted January 27, 2012 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Okay, this might be a strange title, but I just read a review on Wind Star where the reviewer says there were 35 passengers aboard for a 14 night cruise. That to me does not sound either good or healthy. I'm planning on booking the Wind Star this Summer for her 8 night Athens-Rome. I'm worried that if the ship's occupancy is that low Windstar, who have a storied history of financial trouble, won't be able to make it... are my worries completely unfounded? I am really looking forward to sailing Windstar espically since I've seen the impressions for the Wind Star's new interiors, she looks wonderful.

2LoveToTravel Posted January 28, 2012 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Windstar's future appears to be excellent. The line was acquired last year by Xanterra, a 135 year old leader in the hospitality industry. With a stable financial future the company has already initiated an $18,000,000 investment designed to enhance its already stellar reputation. The only 14 day cruise segments, except for the "back to back" packages, are the trans-atlantic repositioning cruises which, occasionally may have intentionally limited passangers capacity do to refurbishment activities, a common practice among many cruise lines. We will be taking our 8th Windstar cruise next week, and look forward to many more. We are sure you will enjoy a great cruise experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stcruise Posted January 28, 2012 #3 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I do know that our Wind Spirit cruise on Feb. 4 is sold out. As previous poster said, perhaps the review was for a transatlantic voyage. I would also expect that the Athens-Rome itinerary would be very popular, so my only fear if I were thinking of booking would be that it would sell out if I waited too long.

silkismom Posted January 28, 2012 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The Wind Star transAtlantic will be worked on the whole trip and supposed to be done when they reach Barcelona, I would guess that's what they're talking about, I know I wouldn't want to hear hammers and other noises for 14 days, plus never knowing which area will be worked on.
