With SS GEMINI going surely Star will want to get Pride of Aloha now or else they will have less capacity in Asia (than now) when their stated intention is to grow the business. Albeit they (Star) seem more interested at the moment in developing gambling ventures on Shore (the latest a joint venture in the Phillipines.)

Also if a new (newer) vessel does not come on board this year then what are Star going to do with the wonderful crew on Gemini ? Hopefully not turn them out on the street .
