Dry dock for Holland America ships?

[mamadot]

Does anyone know the schedule for HAL ships to go to dry dock? I think the Maasdam, Veendam and Ryndam are due for major changes soon. Just anxious to know which ones first!:confused:

I picked up this tip from RichWmn!

 

If you take a look at the schedule at this link, look for the light blue areas. This indicates "under construction" = wet or dry dock.

The thread that fann1sh cited is somewhat old. Latest info has it that the Sailing Schedule table is still wrong for the Maasdam - she won't get her major re-fit until "late 2010", not Jan 2009. The Veendam will be first: Mar 29 to Apr 29 2009. Rotterdam will be second: Nov 18 to Dec 16 2009. Ryndam will be 3rd: Jan 16 to Feb 13 2010. Statendam will be done Mar 26 to Apr 23 2010.

What about the Oosterdam? Is it not going into drydock in April 2009?

The Jan. 09 date is wet dock for Maasdam.
