sunhhi Posted May 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Double check listing for the Oosterdam 2/25/2018-3/04/2018. I believe the cruise is the Mexican Riviera not Western Caribbean. Thanks for all the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted May 21, 2017 #8 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Whew! I always hold my breath when I start to read this list. No groups on my cruise, so I can breathe again. Eurodam sure is popular with groups. Thanks for doing this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin4beaches Posted May 21, 2017 #10 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I booked the Koningsdam Feb 18~25 on HALs website so the RSVP charter must not be a full ship charter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhsocal Posted May 21, 2017 #11 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Carol, Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this list. There was an article in May 14th Los Angeles Times Travel Section under CRUISE BRIEFS, a cruise on N. Amsterdam departing Fort Lauderdale on Nov 11th, The Dementia Friendly Symposium & Cruise,for people with early to mid level dementia and their families. Must book through just one person, name and info. in the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJcruzer Posted May 21, 2017 Author #12 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I booked the Koningsdam Feb 18~25 on HALs website so the RSVP charter must not be a full ship charter.. I did not list the Koningsdam for Feb 18-25 charter. The ship is chartered out up until Feb 28, the previous 2 cruises. The Oosterdam and the Noordam are chartered out Feb. 18/2018.

Happily@Sea Posted May 21, 2017 #15 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Are there NO groups, charters, or dry docks for the Amsterdam? I know Road Scholar will be on World Voyage 2018 [2 halves] if they get enough people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted May 21, 2017 #16 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Are there NO groups, charters, or dry docks for the Amsterdam? Until late September, she's doing 2-week Alaska cruises, which is longer than most charters and groups book. Don't know what the schedule is after that. .

eaglegrey Posted May 21, 2017 #17 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Question about the Noordam (or more generally, HAL's policies). Does HAL allow for embarkation at different ports in Alaska? I know this is common in Med cruises, but wasn't aware that it was in Alaska. ie: You have a charter listed for Noordam : 13 September 2017 - 24 September 2017 : Alaska : Aquafest/Happy GayTravel charter as well as a group Noordam : 10 September 2017 - 17 September 2017 : Alaska : Continuing Education group (type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome & obesity) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cannot be a group on a charter, so one of them is wrong. Thanks for pointing this out, I will have to sort this one out, check HAL site (which is acting up right now, as usual).

HUNKY Posted May 21, 2017 #19 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I've tried to find "proof" of the Kosher group on Koningsdam, June 25, 2017. Just wondering if this listing is correct. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJcruzer Posted May 22, 2017 Author #20 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) I've tried to find "proof" of the Kosher group on Koningsdam, June 25, 2017. Just wondering if this listing is correct. Sent from my iPhone using Forums I had this on the list for wuite a while. Some of these groups sometimes change their cruise date. Unfortunately, it is way too much work to peruse this whole list each time to verify thateach group us still participating - although I do come across alot of the dates when I update information. From the website www.kosherica.com - I do not see that date anymore but I do see Zuiderdam : August 11, 2017 : 12 day Baltic I will update early June to make corrections and additions as noted in above posts.

Rare StartrainDD Posted May 22, 2017 #23 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Thank you SO much for keeping this list updated. I believe Zaandam has a dry dock after the Santiago - Fort Lauderdale repositioning cruise we are on next year. We end April 2, 2018 in Fort Lauderdale and the next cruise on the calendar is April 14 Panama Canal. Thanks again! Arie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
