I will write a longer review but am happy to answer questions in the meantime. We did a week on our own on the Kenai Peninsula and then boarded in Whittier.

 

Wonderful to be in Alaska!

Honestly Alaska was the "star" here! I believe the ship is undergoing a refurbishment prior to your cruise. We had no complaints. She is a nice midsize ship with lovely staff!

We greatly enjoyed our Star cruise to Hawaii in January 2017. :D

 

Here's a link to information about their wonderful Aloha Spirit Program:

Based on this unofficial but generally accurate website here's the tentative drydock information.

 

December 3rd, 2017 to December 15th 2017 - 13 days - Victoria (most likely)

Drydock is longer than typical for a first generation grand class ship however the Grand has received the updated "Coffee and Cones" concept, redesigned Sabatini's, and redesigned kids area, so this is likely for the Star as well. The anticipated list of new features is as follows:

 

• 1200 new chairs and tables
  
• Princess Luxury beds
  
• Redesigned Sabatini's (capacity improvement)
  
• Coffe and Cones venue (in the location of the former ice-cream bar
  
• Camp Discovery for children
  
• New MUTS screen
  
• Club class mini suites.
