I think that HAL is delaying canceling the rest of the season due to the massive number of refunds, If there are any cruise, it will be the Caribbean. And they might be short cruises to a few ports or nowhere. Map of countries that will allow Americas to visit was posted on the FB World Cruise 2020 HAL Amsterdam. It only shows Tanzania, Turkey, Croatia and some islands in the Caribbean that will allow entry without, a 14 day quarantine is required. I am one who loves to be at sea. I do not get off at every Port of Call. A cruise with no ports would not bother me. Hopefully HMC. would be a nice stop.

The Maasdam was there but left and headed to Singapore. Apparently, there were "issues" of some sort with that location so layup was changed to Cyprus. Linda R. Since Amsterdam, Maasdam, Rotterdam and Veendam are all sailing for Suez/Eastern Med, July 17-24 perhaps there is a buyer there.

Amsterdam picked up 25 "engineers" in Singapore along with some new crew. They are all in quarantine for 14 days. Even though this info was worded as engineers, I'm wondering if they are contractors that will begin some work that is due since she was supposed to go to dry dock on May 12th this year. Layup for some of our ships was supposed to be Malaysia but there were "issues" and the location was changed to Cyprus. Linda R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are contractors similar, but in a lot less numbers, to what you would see in a dry-docking situation Edited July 14, 2020 by Copper10-8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloria, the Facebook group is for the passengers who were on this years world cruise. If you look on here (Cruise Critic Roll Calls) and find the Roll Call for that cruise, you'll see more information if you are interested. Linda R.

Gloria sunrise Posted July 15, 2020 #895 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Thanks so much for taking the time to answer me. So you are saying there is a Facebook roll call? I have gone to roll calls and that is where I read your posting about the Gulf Bridge bringing our luggage back. But I wondered where that information came from and some one said 2020 World Cruise Amsterdam HAL on Facebook but all I found there were ads promoting HAL.

On Facebook there is a group of us that were on this years World Cruise. That group was started when we all had to leave the ship in March in Australia and is limited to those passengers that were actually on the World Cruise. We made it so that we could keep in touch with each other. I posted the information about the container ship bringing our luggage back and I had gotten the information from our Captain that we had on that cruise. Linda R.

Gloria sunrise Posted July 15, 2020 #897 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Thanks again. We were on that cruise also but were not in your group I guess. We received updates from Captain Mercer but when he left the Amsterdam those stopped. But I guess you found a way to continue receiving them. So glad to be able to receive via you that our luggage is finally on it’s way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its a private group on Facebook you can't cross post to non private sites, the only work around is a screenshot and make sure there is not private info like real names etc. A- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
