Does HAL still offer the All-Inclusive Liquor package on a RSVP Charter?

Does HAL still offer the All-Inclusive Liquor package on a RSVP Charter?

They have never offered it on a RSVP cruise - at least not since since 2007 when we started sailing with them. The only RSVP we have been on that that an alcoholic beverage package was offered was on the MSC Divina in 2014. HAL only started their beverage packages a few years ago.

Why is HAL advertising 11 and 21 day cruises on the Koningsdam leaving on Feb 14th?

Thanks for posting this, Peter. It's so tempting, but I'm going to have to wait until 2019. Too many cruises, not enough time. Maybe then I'll be able to book an OO-category stateroom. I'm glad you had a good time.

There is often a period of time after a charter is finalized that the cruise line still shows the cruise as available. They then go back to those already booked on those cruises with offers to switch to another cruise.

I'll be back yet again in 2018. Same cabin as 2017. Looking forward to seeing all my RSVP friends, old and new.

G'day from Australia!

Just booked to sail on this cruise and I am excited to experience all the HAL Koningsdam has to offer.

Yay.... I'm booked.... I have ado missed the RSVP Feb Cruise!!!

Very happy to say I'll be onboard for 2018!!!

Now for for decorations and costumes!!!

Can't wait to see old friends and meet some news ones too!!!

I'm now officially booked for this cruise! Also am going with friends on the Atlantis cruise in January, with 15 days in between to visit St. Petersburg, Key West, and Fort Lauderdale. These will be my first cruises as a single. :eek:

I'm booked and ready to go! I was on this ship last February and loved it. Had a blast. It was my first all gay cruise and I was not disappointed. I will be on the Atlantis Oct 2017 cruise out of San Diego as well.

Any updates on the Backpacks for the School kids?

Sorry, I did not see this post until now.

Well, there is so much to says but what are you looking to learn more about?

RSVP charters the whole ship so they can make changes form what is usually on a regular cruise. They can have a unique itinerary. They bring on their own entertainment. There is at least three tea dances and three night time dances parties (from about 10:30 PM ro about 2:30 AM). All the parties have themes and most people dress accordingly but you don't have to.

The dress code for dinner is very relaxed and it is open seating in the dining room. They often throw a brunch or two in on a seven day cruise.

There are mostly gay men onboard but there are always a group of women to. Family and Friends of gays have been known to join their loved ones on the cruise. There have even been a few moms, working hard to find a husband for their sons!

The age range is from 20s to 80s with most in the 40-50 range. There are couples and lots of singles on the cruise. Bodies range from gym bunnies to bears, oh my. On RSVP cruises the people are very friendly and you won;t see a lot of attitude. In the twelve RSVP cruises we have been on, we have made a lot of friends that we see on the cruises or that we hang out with in between cruises.

If you have more specific questions, ask away!

Due to a new job we had to cancel the cruise in November so we will not be sailing this year. :(

Thank you so much for your answer and information ... really appreciate it!

We just can not make a decision. We are twisted between two cruises and can not make a decision. My BF is afraid that the average age is to high on HAL and RSVP.

Well we see.... again THANKS :)))

Take a look at the pictures here to get an idea what it looks like on a RSVP cruise: http://gaycruisepictures.com/

It is a friend's site where people post pictures from their cruises.

Stateroom for Sale.

Verandah cabin on deck 8, near midship elevators. This cabin has a larger than normal patio because of where it's located.

Paid approx. $4,000 for this trip, but willing to accept serious offers. Must sell by this coming Monday, February 5th, in order to update names on booking.

Please contact me through this site or RSVP Group on Facebook.
