Perhaps. Or, it could be a charter or two. Those usually aren't this late, but it happens. Hubby is on the phone now with our PCC getting our ducks in for 6166 Oosterdam 16 November 2015. As soon as he gets all the OBC's and other goodies we are getting squared away, I will ask her if she knows what is up. EDITED: Info is Eurodam is going out of service for "Operational Reasons" we are thinking an extra week of dry dock. I have to say that with this happening to us and keeping our calm *hard for me* we are ending up with, at this time...so far, $900.00 each in OBC.

sapper1 Posted June 2, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Perhaps. Or, it could be a charter or two. Those usually aren't this late, but it happens. Yes it does. We have had it happen as well but we adjusted our cruise and survived to enjoy it. While we have no fear of such a long cruise as our 33 day Hawaii/Tahiti one for next April being chartered, there is always the possibility that the NA cruise we are booking to Alaska in early May might fall victim. If it does I guess we will have to live with it. We had planned to get off the Westerdam and hop on the NA two days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted June 2, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 2, 2015 That happened to us last January when we got notification that our November Collector Cruise on the Nieuw Amsterdam was cancelled. And we had just bought air fare a couple of days before. Hope you find out what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sapper1 Posted June 2, 2015 #8 Share Posted June 2, 2015 That is an awesome vacation -- 33 days on the Westerdam and then an Alaskan cruise on the Nieuw Amsterdam. Packing will be a challenge but we did it once before---combining a Panama repositioning cruise with a cruise to Alaska. We were going to be in Vancouver anyway and it was an opportunity to see Alaska without a long flight. We enjoyed it so much we thought we would do it again this year.

InTheWASide Posted June 2, 2015 #13 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Maybe something new and exciting being added to Eurodam I've heard some chatter that a couple venues that will be built into Koningsdam are going to be rolled out first onto Eurodam. Not sure on the whats and hows but if they do enough and do it well then I would think it's definitely possible that it could take an extra week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheWASide Posted June 2, 2015 #18 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I think I read somewhere that one of them was the Lincoln Center venue for classical music which would likely mean that they will change up the Explorations Lounge (or I suppose the Ocean Bar if they want to centralize it, although that isn't the music performed there now.). Also heard the Billboard Onboard which is the piano bar. Or it could be none of those things and something else instead... even if they announced it now just look at how SOE 2.0 went down. The 5 ships involved were all different. And even when they rolled it to Volendam and Zaandam it wasn't done the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time we did the 21 day repositioning cruise from Ft Lauderdale to Seattle and then stayed on for another 7 days to do the Alaskan cruise.

scm1848 Posted June 2, 2015 #22 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Joanie, We are booked on the Nov.22/29 18 day cruise. When I saw your post, I immediately called HAL, and they told me our 18 day cruise is still just fine and scheduled to go. ?????? Why would they only cancel the latter part of this 2 segment cruise?

Your post piqued my interest - so I went to do a booking on your cruise and IRL_Joanie's - I got the same answer on both cruises on the HAL website. No bookings permitted and this is what popped up... "We apologize, but this voyage has been closed. If you have questions, please contact Holland America." It looks to me like yours is being cancelled too??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw your post, I immediately called HAL, and they told me our 18 day cruise is still just fine and scheduled to go. ?????? Why would they only cancel the latter part of this 2 segment cruise? The cruise is not cancelled, just reduced by three days so that the ship can enter dry dock earlier than planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scm1848 Posted June 2, 2015 #25 Share Posted June 2, 2015 The HAL lady specifically told me that our 18 day cruise was just fine. Also, I can still do a mock booking on either separate cruise or the entire 18 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
