We like using the San Diego port too, but wish there were more variety of offerings - but what else can they really do besides Mexican Riviera, Hawaii, and  the occasional Panama Canal, and perhaps launching South America trips.

 

More concentrated west coast Central America and upper west coast South America could be interesting. Some great pre-Columbian historical sites cruises could take advantage of this often overlooked area.

 

 Though West Coastals are gaining in popularity,  at the same time those locations are starting to ban or discourage cruise ships.

I’d love to see 10 or 11 day Mexico trips on the koningsdam not the zaandam.  Leave the old ships for longer cruises.  The koningsdam can’t transit the canal.

Celebrity is pulling out of west coast (Calif) cruises in 2024, so HAL has this segment pretty much to themselves and if they keep the Koningsdam on the west coast they have an even bigger advantage.

In 2007, we did a very nice 23 day Panamerican Cruise out of San Diego, down the coast of Mexico, into the Panama Canal with an anchorage overnight in Gatun Lake, then back out of Canal with time in Panama City, and down the coast of South America to Guayaquil, Ecuador, then back up with stops at several Central American ports, additional Mexican ports and then to San Diego. it was on the Ryndam and really wonderful. I would like to see that one again.

How about a once a year   round trip  Alaska  on Nieuw Amsterdam   or Eurodam   from San Diego  with stops   in  SF ,Astoria Oregon , Seattle  , Glacier Bay ,Juneau ,Ketchican ,Haines   & Prince Rupert  ,Catalina Island  & then back to SD 

HAL can do this in September  & then repo   the ship into the Panama Canal  cruise

On the way down from Alaska  HAL  could do a 7 night cruise to SD   .Think these 2 cruises would be huge winners
