We have never purchased package and find prices extremely reasonable. Much more so than lots of restaurants.

sb44 Posted June 4, 2018 #54 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I was wondering about the individual cost per drink. You are right, the package is on the website. Somewhere around 8 or 9 bucks.

kimiata Posted June 4, 2018 #55 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Drinks are $4.50 during happy hour, which usually ran from 6:30 to 7:30 and 9:30 to 10:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new_cruiser Posted June 4, 2018 Author #58 Share Posted June 4, 2018 They had Alaska beers (an IPA and a lager) for $8 (price from end of cruise statement so that includes gratuity). I had nice whiskeys (an Oban & a Talisker) a couple of times and they were around $16 each. Most by the glass wines were a $8 to 10. Some were more.

7continentKaren Posted June 10, 2018 #59 Share Posted June 10, 2018 The diagrams of the cabins are not perfect. I want a shower, not a tub. Were the showers only in the handicapped rooms? On Breeze, we were in 232 next to handicapped and had a shower. We peeked around on the last day and it seemed like showers were in oean view and tubs in balcony cabins.

marinaro44 Posted June 10, 2018 #60 Share Posted June 10, 2018 The deck plans for Star Legend show 208, 209, 304 and 305 have shower, no tub, as do the four staterooms equipped for the disabled. This appears to differ from Star Breeze and Star Pride where 126, 127, 224, 225, 320 and 321 are indicated as having shower-only. There is also a triangle symbol on the Star Legend deck plans stating "Star Legend has a single sink," but I don't see the symbol on her deck plans anywhere so I don't know to which staterooms it refers. This symbol does not appear on Star Breeze or Star Pride deck plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new_cruiser Posted June 10, 2018 Author #61 Share Posted June 10, 2018 128, the cabin I was in last has a single sink. I can't remember if the one a year ago had one or two. Sent from my Pixel using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This symbol does not appear on Star Breeze or Star Pride deck plans. We were told by one of the officers on a recent Star Legend cruise that there are 2 differences between the Star Legend and its sisters, the Star Pride and Star Breeze: - it’s slightly longer - all of the stateroom bathrooms only have a single sink whereas the SP and SB stateroom bathrooms have double sinks So the triangle symbol applies to all the staterooms not any specific ones.

You were given incorrect information. We have been on the Star Legend twice and both suites had double sinks. Our suite on the Star Breeze also had double sinks. It is my understanding that only the handicap-access suites have one sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s odd; both staterooms I’ve had on the Legend (forward on deck with staterooms numbered in the 100s - not handicap access suites - most recently in April) had only one sink. The officer who told us would have known based on his role on the ship. It was only once he mentioned that the Legend’s bathrooms only had one sink that it dawned us that we’d had 2 sinks when on the other motor yachts.

Another difference is that Star Legend is ice rated. That's why Star Legend is the one doing Alaska. The details of that aren't visible to passengers.

Our first cruise in 2006 was on one of the Seabourn "triplets". Loved that size and style of ship, especially as it seems that Windstar offers some stops in and around Alaska that would provide more of an "expedition-type" excursion. That could provide more of an "up close and personal" type of experience!! Love learning any and all details as we considering for our first sailing in this amazing part of the world. THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio SE Asia/Mekong River, Etc.! Just completed a Jan. 21-Feb. 20, 2018, first adventure through Southeast Asia with stops in Hong Kong and Bangkok, before traveling all over Vietnam and Cambodia. This includes seven days sailing on the Mekong River. Now at 25,440 views. Lots of fun, interesting pictures!!

Glaciers Posted June 29, 2018 #70 Share Posted June 29, 2018 We're considering the Star Legend for the August 4 departure from Vancouver. We watched the ship transit the Ballard locks on Wednesday this week. There were people on the bow and also a couple other decks but couldn't tell if those were public areas that were open during sailing. Are there areas of the ship with unobstructed forward viewing while underway? It would be nice to have an area to take photos without shooting through glass as we approach sites.

ridethetide Posted June 29, 2018 #71 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Absolutely. There are unobstructed views both fore and aft. The Star Legend is a fabulous ship. We'll be back on board for the third time in Vancouver on July 12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be back on board for the third time in Vancouver on July 12th.There are unobstructed forward views from 3 decks: Deck 8 in front of the Yacht Club which is nice for cold or rainy weather because you can hang out in the Yacht Club and pop outside when there is something you want a better view of. Deck 7 in front of the bridge, and Deck 5 around the hot tub where there is a large forward outside space. All those areas are open to passengers. There is enough forward viewing area that there was always space at the rail. There isn't any unobstructed rear view. The Veranda/Candles deck area has glass around it to shield it from wind. The deck and crane added for the zodiacs has eliminated the rear part if the deck 8 sun deck so there is only a side view from there.
