Sharke_boy Posted February 13, 2007 #326 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I agree with the note earlier about not going on the Star right now until Princess fixes the problem. We had some friends the other night mention at a dinner party (with 5 other couples) they were going on the Star. After the laughter died down, they decided to re-booked going on a Cleb. ship instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rianvi Posted February 13, 2007 #327 Share Posted February 13, 2007 The more recent posts/threads report that there hasn't been a "smell" recently. Perhaps Princess has corrected this problem. Peace, Anna:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseabell01 Posted February 13, 2007 #328 Share Posted February 13, 2007 we had that smell on one of our star cruises , not in our cabin but in the lobby/atrium area when we were docked in cozumel, my husband thinks they were pumping the septic system because it only smelled that one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caymansreef Posted March 20, 2007 #329 Share Posted March 20, 2007 please post any recent 3/19/07 crusies on the Star. Was there a smell? There was a sewer smell on my last cruise with the star. So any new trips would be a great sourse of information. oh and the question is, did you smell any sewer smell on the star princess. thanks Curt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustaTrace Posted March 20, 2007 #330 Share Posted March 20, 2007 We were on the Star from March 3-10th/07 and there was absolutely NO SMELL AT ALL! None...not even from our own bathroom! LOL... No worries...I walked the entire ship most nights from aft to forward (from the kids' zone at 15 aft to our cabin at 5 forward) and never once smelled anything sewage at all... The ship was beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were a group of 12 and not one person ever complained of any bad odors at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapdancer_pm Posted March 20, 2007 #332 Share Posted March 20, 2007 We were on board March 10-17 and never smelled anything bad on the ship. It did smell quite bad in Jamaica though, right at the dock, but that has nothing to do with the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennAngel9 Posted November 8, 2007 #333 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Sorry to bring up bad memories for some of you again, but I am considering booking a cruise next winter on the star (ironically, with credit that we received for putting up with foul odors in our stateroom on tahitian princess) and can't imagine spending 14 days with a room that smells of sewage. Can anybody who has been on the star since March comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casshew Posted November 8, 2007 #334 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I've been reading all the reviews (because I'm on the Star in 13 days!) I have not seen any complaints in the last while. I'll let you know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tango55 Posted November 8, 2007 #335 Share Posted November 8, 2007 We got off the Star on Oct. 16th after a Mediterranean sailing, and didn't notice any smell anywhere on the ship! We had aft corner balcony cabins. I had totally forgotten about this because we didn't notice it at all. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swabbie Posted November 8, 2007 #336 Share Posted November 8, 2007 We had Starboard mid ship and there was no issue there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennAngel9 Posted November 8, 2007 #337 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Thank you for your updates! I feel much more confident about booking the cruise now. :) I am hoping to be midship starboard side too. If anyone else has any positive (or negative) recent experience, or any idea what the problem was, I would be curious to hear comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted November 8, 2007 #338 Share Posted November 8, 2007 with credit that we received for putting up with foul odors in our stateroom on tahitian princess) We will be onm the TP next month. Can you tell me what was the odor problem you experienced? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennAngel9 Posted November 8, 2007 #339 Share Posted November 8, 2007 We were in cabin 8060, I believe. It was not a widespread problem, from what I am aware, it was limited to the aft portside cabins on the minisuite deck. The various engineers and stewards and pursers deck representatives came in and told us that it was a very rare problem that only occurred a couple of times a year depending on the wind condition. We were told at various times that a few people had complained and at other times that we were the only people complaining and it was actually MY problem. The smell itself was a bit like burning plastic and exhaust fumes (sometimes it smelled more like one or the other) and the ship employees who did come in said they thought that the exhaust from the ship was somehow being sucked up into the system and blown into our room through the a/c (which couldn't be turned off).
