When is the 2008 schedule available?

[skippycruises]

I apologize if this has been asked before, but does anyone have an idea when the 2008 itinerarys come out? Its been a while since we cruised...

[CruiserBruce]

Some of the schedules are out, mostly longer cruises. For example, the World Cruise, the various speciality 20-50 days cruises, and some of the repo cruises. For example, we are booked on the W'Dam Apr 22 FLL to SEA for 19 days.

 

On previous posts on this subject, the word has been that it should be soon for the early year Caribbean cruises, a couple more months (say March-April) for next year's Alaska and Med/Europe, and a little after that for the later year Caribbean.

 

Somewhere on the HAL site- I couldn't find it the other day when someone asked- was the standard calender year view on where the ships were going to be at any given time, but not their specific schedules.

The "At A Glance" chart for 2008 has been out for a while. It gives the dates/name of cruise for every ship for the year, but does not list the ports. It should be available on the HAL website, although I haven't looked there for it.

We have already booked an 08' cruise also. I found it by entering my destination and ship into google and it came up. I then wrote down the info and booked it on board my last cruise.

Thanks to everyone who responded! It's going to be hard to wait that long....

Another thing you can do is log onto HAL's site and go to their destinations page. From the pulldown menu there, you can select which destination you want to go to. Once you've done that, look at the month's pulldown menu - it shows which months cruises are available for booking (and is different for every destination - it's smart). Once the 2008 ones pop up in that pulldown menu, you're good to go!

Not too long ago our TA gave my mom a website that we could go to for a preview of 08 cruises. It just lists itineraries as there is no pricing. Here it is and hope this helps. Only area I don't remember seeing listed for 08 was Alaska but could have changed since I last looked.

Been there, done that, didn't work. I think the previous poster was right, the Caribbean dates aren't available for 2008 yet.

the 'calendar' is under the Destination's dropdown link at the top left on the HAL home page.. it's then listed near the very last at the bottom

Still no Caribbean itinerary for 2008 though:(

I am wondering about this as well. I want to book my 2008 cruise in the next couple months and have been impatiently waiting for the Hollands ITNS- hoping for something that stops at the Turks.

 

I will just keep checking back daily!

I booked with my TA 02/17/08 on the Westerdam this past Tuesday. Great itinerary - Aruba out of Florida is rare.
