Rare rafinmd Posted August 23, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Looks like a Prairie Home Companion charter of the Maasdam 8/15/16. Our naturalist on the Grande Caribe is a coordinator for their cruises and he mentioned this at dinner last night: http://prairiehome.org/photo-gallery/2016-cruise-itinerary/ Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalliekae Posted August 23, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I'm wondering when the Westerdam will go into dry dock. According to what I can find, she has not been in dry dock since 2012. Any info?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any info?? Westerdam had her last drydock in Freeport, Bahamas, in April of 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OVgirl Posted October 1, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Looks like these cruises might be chartered. Right now they are showing as "sold out" on the HAL website. I have been told the our Koningsdam cruise for Feb. 5, 2017 is going to be a charter. Eurodam cruises for Feb. 4, 2017 and Feb. 11, 2017 are also showing "sold out". Now to do some online searching to see who will be on these ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globaliser Posted October 1, 2015 #15 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Although not directly about a HAL charter, those who have followed these over the years may be interested or perhaps relieved to know that in 2017 the Smooth Jazz Cruise will not be chartering a HAL ship. It was announced today that this will be going to a different cruise line in 2017. [Edited to add:] If I'd waited another 5 minutes before posting, I could have included the fact that an email has just arrived announcing the same for The Jazz Cruise (the straight-ahead jazz sibling of this company's stable of music cruises).

CJcruzer Posted October 4, 2015 Author #19 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) This is listed for NA January 3-10 and 10-17/16. Is this a group or theme? this is a "theme" - HAL is discontinuing this "contest" entertainment, but they still are holding the finale to decide the ultimate winner. Hope this helps. Also, I will be updating the schedule shortly! Thanks to everyone who has posted information, the groups have been growing exponentially the past year or two ......
