NCruiser2012 Posted April 19, 2015 Author #82 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Just a few more meters, and she is through..... So she made it through the canal OK. This is good news. Now she just needs to get to the Bahamas drydock and she can be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpyNor Posted April 19, 2015 #83 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) So she made it through the canal OK. This is good news. Now she just needs to get to the Bahamas drydock and she can be fixed. I thought I just posted a still photo from the ship web cam, but it obviously was a link to the "active" webcam, so it updates itself automatically - at least it updated itself when I just logged in to CC a few minutes ago.... :) When I originally posted it, you could see that there were a few yards left of the canal crossing...

Seaflower50 Posted April 20, 2015 #84 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Has anyone been able to find the position of the Star? We have been unable to find the position for 2 days now and we can see that it is booked for tonight for the Canal. She went through the canal yesterday. Via the ship's bridge webcam. It was pretty cool to see her in the locks. Edited April 20, 2015 by Seaflower50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqvol Posted April 20, 2015 #85 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Just a few more meters, and she is through..... It doesn't do any good to post a live link to the ships cam, it updates constantly. If you want to do this grab a screen shot of the cam, save it as a jpg and post that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake....... Look at it from the positive side - at least now we have a live link directly from the Stars webcam here on CC..... :p Edited April 20, 2015 by TrumpyNor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

don't-use-real-name Posted April 22, 2015 #88 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Just about there - off the Miami Coast - less than 100 miles to go. Looks like she shaved 2 hours off her ETA.

NCruiser2012 Posted April 22, 2015 Author #89 Share Posted April 22, 2015 She seems to be at drydock or close to it. At least she made it there OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMaterial Posted April 22, 2015 #90 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Since the crew worked so hard on her last dry dock they're having some great downtime on the sailing. I've seen some of their photos. I hope they continue to relax so when the people get on for the Trans-Atlantic voyage they're well rested and ready to go! :) Seems like everything is on track for the repairs as well last I heard. She's gotten to the ship yard on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinMaterial Posted April 24, 2015 #94 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Do we have any news on how things are going at the Bahama dry dock? Outside of the crew getting some much-deserved shore time, the ship is coming along fine according to the people I know. However, they're not working under the ship. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare www3traveler Posted April 24, 2015 #95 Share Posted April 24, 2015 The last item I saw Norwegian post about The Star, they said "technical problem", which I took to mean computer rather than a "mechanical" problem (the azipods themselves).

I wish it were a technical problem for those cancelled on the Panama Canal cruise because that could be fixed without taking the ship out of the water. It's a mechanical "technical" issue with the pod on the under side of the ship though. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't have to pull the ship out of the water to fix a computer issue. No question that it is a mechanical issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedish weave Posted April 24, 2015 #98 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I heard it was one of the azipods that was incorrectly assembled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djc4410 Posted April 25, 2015 #99 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Will be watching these repairs closely over the weekend. We're part of the group boarding on Monday in Miami for Dover and Copenhagen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don't-use-real-name Posted April 25, 2015 #100 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I heard it was one of the azipods that was incorrectly assembled. So perhaps they had to run one of the Azipods in reverse to go forward ?!? Azipods are electric propulsion motors maybe they crossed the AC with DC ?!? She sure did make great time getting to dry dock with no problems that were reported to the public. Looking at the mock up of the STAR in dry dock it appears the stern end where the azipods are positioned is facing land and hopefully someone in Freeport could check and see what is going on and even photo it. Also it would nice if when this is all finished maybe NCL could tell us just what the problem was and the fix. Curiosity killed the cat - Satisfaction brought it back ! To be on schedule for the TA trip 4/27 she needs to be fixed and out of dry dock sometime Sunday to sail to Miami for that TA cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
