New Caribbean Cruises Posted

The schedule for Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 Caribbean cruises has been posted on the HAL website.  They seem to be all the usual itineraries - nothing new and exciting.

Yes, I agree, mostly the ports that all the bigger lines use.  No Tampa.  Without the smaller ships, the smaller/tighter ports are off the schedules.  No Bermuda, no Trinidad/Tobago, and could they return to Cuba if allowed again?

Let’s be honest - the Caribbean has never been a primary market for HAL. It’s more a market they “have” to serve to be moderately in line with competing cruise lines.

With only 4 full season ships in the market, one of which is dedicated to partial Panama Canal sailings, they are really offering the minimum required.

 

HAL now only have 11 ships, and to maintain a worldwide portfolio choose to focus the bulk of their resources outside the Caribbean.

Just booked our 14th HAL cruise for January 2023 on the N. Statendam's Western Caribbean cruise as a birthday surprise for DH. If all goes right, it should be our first HAL cruise as 4 Star Mariners! We have 3 HAL cruises booked for 12/21, 2/22, and 4/22 - all suites for the double bonus days. Hope they all sail! We are fully vaccinated and ready to sail.
