Nancyquilts Posted May 20, 2014 #51 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Good review. On both my PC and I pad none of your photos show up. I wonder why? Perhaps someone else will know. Tom I don't get the pictures either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedward Posted May 20, 2014 #52 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I don't get the pictures either. Bummer, as I was enjoying these pics yesterday. What the heck is Photobucket??? Regards, Ned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the OP exceeded their bandwidth limit with Photobucket, and will need to pay for a Plus account for their photos to be seen again.

luv2c00k Posted May 20, 2014 #55 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Try right clicking on the picture and select "open up in a new tab" - that works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceleven Posted May 20, 2014 #56 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Try right clicking on the picture and select "open up in a new tab" - that works for me. I also had trouble seeing the pics. Did the right click but still only saw a postage stamp sized photo. I forgot to notice...what was the embarkation origin of the NCL cruise portion? LA or SF? I'm not terribly fond of NCL but would be willing to do this sort of cruise R/T to avoid flying. Does anyone know why Princess changed out the Grand with the Star this year but switching them back for next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceleven Posted May 20, 2014 #57 Share Posted May 20, 2014 We were in cabin E315 :) That's a standard sized cabin. aprox. 168sf. Not much more than the standard NCL cabin of 159sf. I've always found Princess cabins to be a bit small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgmg00a Posted May 20, 2014 #60 Share Posted May 20, 2014 You have two options: 1. Right lick on the Photo Bucket Icon in his post and then select open image in new tab. That should open a new browser window on the PhotoBucket website where you can see all of OP photos for the trip. 2. Click on this link and it should take you to the same place. http://s729.photobucket.com/user/bridenamedjenn/media/IMG_2805.jpg.html Then use the left and right arrows to cycle through all of his photos.

cruisequeen10 Posted May 20, 2014 #62 Share Posted May 20, 2014 After disembarking the NCL Pearl we headed to our hotel. We stayed at the Hampton Inn Downtown. Great hotel at a good price. The hotel is within walking distance to everything. They also offer free shuttle service to local attractions (including Canada Place and Stanley Park) and free breakfast in the morning. After checking in to our hotel we walked to Stanley Park. It is beautiful there. After walking Stanley Park we walked by the Olympic Cauldren. Later that night we went to Gastown. There we ate at The Flying Pig. I highly recommend this place! Excellent service, great food, plus they have local brews on tap. Awesome! And while you are in Gastown check out their steam clock! I ate at the flying pig earlier this month for lunch. Boss took us after we finished the income tax season. What did you have. I had the triple pea soup. It was delllliiiiiioooooouuuuussss. Also the beef short rib (off the dinner menu). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the triple pea soup. It was delllliiiiiioooooouuuuussss. Also the beef short rib (off the dinner menu). I know without a doubt whenever I go back to Vancouver I will go out of my way to go back to that place. Sooo good! And next time I'm getting a full meal! We actually only ended up having sides while we were there. I got the lobster risotto and my husband got (and I tried) the pulled pork poutine. YUM! Plus we each got a drink. He tried the Stanley Park Pilsner they had on tap and I got the Red Roof Cider. Both very good too! They really need to just open up a location in the states... or more specifically right next to my house in CA. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always found Princess cabins to be a bit small. Really? Wow, only 9 square feet bigger? It felt so much bigger. I'd say it felt like 25sq feet bigger than the NCL room we had. Maybe it just had a better setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why am I using Photobucket???????? Haha. I know what I will use next time! The bandwidth limit always gets me when I post my reviews on CC.

I love Stanley Park, I'll have to be sure to go back to see the flowers in bloom myself :) Your post made me realize I didn't post any pictures of Vancouver from our sail away.

LandandWater Posted May 22, 2014 #70 Share Posted May 22, 2014 My husband and I took the repositioning 3 day Pacific Coastal cruise on the Star Princess May 9th. This was our first Princess cruise and our 8th cruise overall. (For those who have signatures turned off we have sailed Carnival, RCCL, and NCL) Although this isn't a normal cruise I wanted to write a review so people could see some pictures of the ship and have a chance to ask any questions they may have :) We boarded the ship in Vancouver, BC Canada, we had one stop in Victoria, BC then had a day at sea. On the 12th we disembarked in San Francisco. Right before this cruise we took a 5-day Pacific Coastal on NCL to Vancouver. We sailed on this ship to get back home. Why fly home when you can cruise home??? :D So much wonderful info. We will be on the Star in August and your observations and photos are so helpful. We were on her when she was quite new and so glad to see your updates. Love your upbeat read on all. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdjam Posted June 12, 2014 #72 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Thanks for the review and for sharing your photos. It's nice to read a review of a Princess sailing from the perspective of someone who hasn't cruised the line before. Helps us to appreciate what we have :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cormike1 Posted June 13, 2014 #73 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Really enjoyed your review. We would like to do a Pacific Coastal but the flight price is quite expensive from Ontario. It is on my bucket list though. You mentioned doing the New England cruise with Carnival as the price was the best. We did that cruise last year sailing out of NYC, which was amazing, and did Boston, Portland, Saint John, NB and Halifax, NS and loved it. We got an amazing price so we couldn't pass it up. We are Princess cruisers but really enjoyed Carnival and would sail again if the price was right! Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom33 Posted June 13, 2014 #74 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Thanks for the review. It was a nostalgic one for me. We enjoyed the Star Princess and your pics of Butchart Gardens were a pleasant reminder of our own visit there. Your closeups of the butterflies were excellent.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
