Star in dry dock??

[diamondj]

Anyone know if what I was told yesterday by a cruise agent is true. Is Star going into dry dock imminently before the Venice/Greek Islands cruises late April ?

NO, they leave Dubai, United arab Emirates on Monday the 27th of March for a 19 day journey to Venice. They are scheduled to arrive either the 15th or 16th of April. Their first cruise of the Greek Isles is April 16th.

Wonder where this agent got their "information"?

I'm booked on the star on May 24th 2018 and have also been told by by a travel agent that it is going to dry dock in May 2018 and the May 24th cruise will be first after dry dock.

I had thought in light of the recent Azipod issues with Star OP was referring to 2017.

I don't believe it is scheduled for this April, but the April 2018 window is within the statutory dates for a ship of the Star's age, so this is probably correct.

OP: is it April 2017 or 2018??

I am also on the May 24th '18 cruise as well. I find this interesting as I, as well as all of you, have been following the status of the ship for the past few weeks now. Hopefully if this is true, it comes out of dry dock on schedule fully operational.

 

Mcboaty - FYI, there is roll call out there for our booking.

Looking at the Star's itineraries on NCL's website for 2018, it appears there is gap between when the transatlantic ends on May 6th in Barcelona to the beginning of the Med cruise on May 24th also out of Barcelona.
