Good morning and welcome to the October 2022 edition of Dry Docks, Charters and Groups Onboard thread.

 

The Dry Dock situation continues to be a puzzle. There are gaps in many of the sailing schedules, but the dates and the length of the gaps gives uncertainty as to whether some of them are Dry Docks or just Charters that have not been identified. I have posted these dates on the Dry Dock section of the post, but if anyone has further information of a dry dock or undiscovered charter then please post on this thread so that I can update the information.

 

Please note that the sailings listed are taken from various sources so it is possible that the itinerary does not coincide with the currently published HAL itinerary. 

 

As usual, if you have information about groups charters or dry docks then please post here and I will update in the next file.

 

New information since last update is shown in RED.

Thanks for the report. Keeping an eye on the Eurodam dry dock as we are booked for April 9 on Eurodam.

The five days in April are too short for a dry dock so I really think that it is a charter that I cannot find!

The February/March dates is 14 days.  A bit long for a dry dock, but who knows?  If the docks also have the labour shortages that all other employers are experiencing, then maybe the dry dock which took 10 days previously is now being scheduled for 14 days.

I received an email in regards to a BIG EASY CRUISE aboard the Nieuw Amsterdam, November 4-11, 2023.  It sounds like a full charter, but, I can not be sure.

Thanks for the information.  Certainly looks like a full charter as the date is no longer available to book online.

Eurodam 04 April 2023 – 09 April 2023 is the Love & Harmony charter

https://loveandharmonycruise.com/

 

Nieuw Amsterdam 19 March 2023 – 09 April 2023 is a confirmed 3 week dry dock

Thanks for the link.

The website mentions that the cruise is on Nieuw Amsterdam.  Can you let me know where you see that it is on Eurodam or is there information somewhere else?

It was moved to Eurodam due to Amsterdams dry dock per a crew member.
