pbnjrockette Posted January 27, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Just booked this cruise for Dec. Anyone else using this company? We have traveled with them many times. We have booked Cuba for March 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxny Posted January 27, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted January 27, 2016 We have traveled with them many times. We have booked Cuba for March 2016. I hope you let us know what you thought of the cruise. I looked at some of the other offerings but we decided on Vantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbnjrockette Posted January 27, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Haimark company which Vantage has contracted with... has been in bankruptcy. It has apparently now been sold to another company which intends to keep it intact. Their first sailing is February 11 so hopefully there will be a report! http://www.travelweekly.com/Cruise-Travel/Private-equity-firm-buys-Haimark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxny Posted January 28, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Keeping our fingers crossed that all goes as planned for you and us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbnjrockette Posted February 12, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Another Haimark sailing cancelled... still having problems due to bankrupcy of St. Laurent http://www.ksdk.com/story/travel/cruises/2016/02/11/haimark-line-cuba-cruise/80244740/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxny Posted February 13, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Hope your cruise is not affected. Fingers crossed. Have you checked out RickSteves.com? He is currently in Cuba with the family. Realistic video and photos, not like some of the travel companies. Just saw this http://www.cruisecritic.com/v-5/news/news.cfm?ID=6784 Edited February 13, 2016 by bxny addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbnjrockette Posted February 18, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Wonder if Vantage knows... (actually they don't as I called them and they were like "who" "what"?? Waiting for a supervisor to call me back.) p.s. The "Saint Laurent" is currently impounded in Jacksonville, Florida.... http://www.cruiseminus.com/ms-saint-laurent/ February 2016, the ship charterer (operator) Haimark Line canceled all the scheduled for 2016 cruises to Cuba from Miami (10-nights in length) due to the company’s bankruptcy. Haimark Line wasn’t operating any cruises since the Saint Laurent cruise ship collision accident in October 2015 Edited February 18, 2016 by pbnjrockette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbnjrockette Posted February 19, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Just booked this cruise for Dec. Anyone else using this company? You need to call Vantage... they have cancelled the cruises with Haimark and are substituting a different one. We have chosen to cancel our trip.
