Cruise tech

I've been on several HAL charters. 

For full ship charters, the group rents out the ship. Due to this, they create the prices and tickets are not sold directly on the HAL site. Due to not being a 'HAL cruise' no surveys are sent out and future cruises is not offered. The charter sets up thier own future cruise, for guests to rebook. Many ship policies are bended to match what the organizers want. 

The art studio is now in the Crow's Nest on Nieuw Amsterdam. This was recently opened along with the Library. The painting class has a charge but all other classes are free. Origami was really popular and difficult to find seating for.

Third Avenue West????

Third Avenue West is a new jazz trio in the Ocean Bar. 

For Pickleball:

    - How long is the court available for pickleball when it's on?

Typically when sailing they have instruction classes at 9am and 4pm. Tournaments at 10am. Up to 4-8 people can sign up for one hour slots at guest services the day prior at guest services. Usually time slots are 9-4 or 12-4

    - Is it on everyday or just certain days?

Everyday usually

    - Are there many people participating?

Depends on the cruise but always people to play with

    - How long do you have to wait to play?

You can sign up for a time slot in advance to Limit the wait time. 

Hope that helps. 

Club Hal is on all ships but not offered on Legondary and Grand voyages

Thanks for the link.

The website mentions that the cruise is on Nieuw Amsterdam.  Can you let me know where you see that it is on Eurodam or is there information somewhere else? 

It was moved to Eurodam due to Amsterdams dry dock per a crew member. 

Eurodam 04 April 2023 – 09 April 2023 is the Love & Harmony charter

Nieuw Amsterdam 19 March 2023 – 09 April 2023 is a confirmed 3 week dry dock

That's great news, @Cruise tech!  Is that fleetwide, or are you reporting on a single ship?

To my understanding fleet wide. 

For Club Hal currently, masks not required for kids. If there is a low kid count they may run via sign ups. You would receive a letter in your cabin if signing up is needed. 

Have a great trip! If you can, can you post your daily when and where?

Going on a similar itinerary next month!
