2006 Schedule???

[snowcat]

Does anyone know when the Holland America 2006 sailing schedule will be available? We are trying to do some preliminary planning for January 2006 with friends and have been able to get 2006 schedules and itineraries for many of the other cruise lines already, but not HAL (except the Noordam).

Some areas 2006 schedules have been released. I know they have just released the Australia/NZ. The Caribbean is available thru April 2006. They are updating it daily it seems. Check Hollandamerica.com :cool:

The only Caribbean cruises listed are those cruises out of NY on the Noordam, nothing else for the Caribbean.

Snowcat,
More cruises should be showing up soon. Just keep checking Hal's site.

Apparently you can sometimes get advance notice of itineraries from the "early edition" site (http://crm.hollandamerica.com/broadbaseema/ha4009/index.htm).

I think we're all patiently waiting for the caribbean 2006 itineraries. I want to book while onboard the Volendam in March for next Feb., hope those schedules show up soon.

[gizmo]

Didn't they show up around late Jan or early Feb last year?

I think it was the Sunday before superbowl last year. I remember talking about the itinerary to my friends during the superbowl. Maybe this Sunday will be the day!!!!!!

There's a nice 30-day Hawaii/South Pacific run beginning on January 6, 2006 that I'm giving some serious thought to. If only I could work out the vacation days and schedule, and can get on the guaranteed share program, it's a real possibility. Considering that I have almost a year to work things out at the job, it actually might be doable.

Oh, I hope ... I hope ...

This is truthfully my dream itinerary. I like my cruises to "exotics." Have no interest in Alaska, Europe, South America ... those types of destinations. Just give me a nice island ... preferably of the South Pacific variety!

I checked out the "early edition" site, but the Caribbean cruises are only listed through Dec. 2005. Oh well, thanks anyway! I guess I will just try to wait patiently. Or maybe I'll check out some other destinations!
I wonder why the other cruise lines have their schedules done earlier?

I wonder why the other cruise lines have their schedules done earlier?Probably because they like to give their customer relations departments some regular exercise: "WHY HAVE YOU CHANGED MY ITINERARY? I ONLY BOOKED THIS CRUISE BECAUSE IT WAS STOPPING AT DUMPSPORT, SMALL ISLAND!!!!!!"

:D

I understand the Statendam will soon be reconfigured as to stateroom categories A-B-BB-BC etc. Anyone know about this and what's involved? I did see that some staterooms are being reconfigured to accommodate more handicap facilities, etc., but - I was told that HAL will actual change stateroom category designations. Any info on that? We're interested in the Statendam AKL/SYD 18FEB2006 itinerary. Thanks - SeaFish

Check out HAL's web site, as of this morning, the 2006 caribbean itineraries are out.

[cruise freak]

I only can find through March. Have you seen others after that?

[doone]

Its through April 2006, which month are you looking for?

[cruise freak]

I already have a cruise to Panama booked for April 30, 2006 so the next should be in fall. I would like another 14 day to Southern Caribbean. Thanks

[doone]

Ok fall itinerary isn't out yet, but now that the winter one is out, it shouldn't be long before the Alaska and Fall itineraries are out.

Thanks
