stellasue Posted June 9, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2006 We are thinking about the 10 or 11 day out of NYC next February. Any up to date info out there about how things are going - we've sailed several times on HAL in the past and have always had a wonderful experience.

RuthC Posted June 10, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2006 What kind of "up to date" info are you looking for? The Noordam is currently doing Europe cruises; she'll return to the NYC/Caribbean run next Fall. There were several reports from the last season.

stellasue Posted June 11, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted June 11, 2006 I know that it first cruised out of NYC in Feb 2006 to the Caribbean. I guess I was looking for more details about the cruise.....actually, I'll just go through previous posts and I'm sure I'll find them. We're really happy about being able to go out of NYC in the middle of the winter without having to deal with flying and precarious weather conditions. Looks like we'll be on the Noordam on 2/7/07.....or if not, the one that sails after winter recess here in the Northeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted June 11, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Noordam is a positively gorgeous, sparkling brand new ship. She's doing what I think to be a fabulous itinerary. We're from Boston so the treat of being able to sail from nearby New York to the Caribbean for 11 days is irresistible to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted June 12, 2006 #5 Share Posted June 12, 2006 stellasue, Revneal did a "live from" thread when he was on the Noordam's maiden voyage; he also did a thorough review after he returned. If you do a search you should be able to find it. I did a "live from" thread of the Noordam's third cruise. It's titled The Happy Wanderer Tackles The Noordam. It's possible either of these could give you some of the info you're seeking. I believe there were some other reports from other posters. She is a beautiful ship, and although she's not my favorite size, I could be talked into doing that cruise again for the simple reason that it's so easy to get to. Hope this helps.

stellasue Posted June 12, 2006 Author #6 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Thanks for the info! I'm thrilled that HAL will be leaving out of NYC during the winter! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMoney Posted June 12, 2006 #7 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I did the Noordam 11 nite Southern Caribbean in March. It was my first HAL cruise, and I'd go again in a second. The itinerary rocks, the ship is beautiful and leaving from NYC is so convenient. Embarkation was a mess at the time, but I think that's b/c HAL was new to the port.
