I am still trying to find out if there is someplace to find out numbers, short of actually emailing the organizer .

 

Carol

Thank you for the update.

There certainly are a lot of charters being added.

I had no idea there were so many charters :eek:

I had no idea there were so many charters :eek:

there are 3 Olivia charters which I posted after, they are not on the main list yet.

However, I think the main concern would be the growing number of groups, and I am beginning to see a few cruises where more than one group is aboard! :eek:

while researching, I have found many groups and charters listed for Princess and Celebrity....the concept seems to growing in popularity.

Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for all your work in maintaining this list.

thanks everyone...one more time "to the top" - will have updated info for February post.

carol

for all this effort in keeping us up to date on charters. I was so pleased to find your thread yesterday.

I went onto Mark Shultz's facebook page before I posted here yesterday, and there was no indication of a charter cruise on NA, and, strangely, he had two concerts posted on his calendar for stateside gigs during the time he was supposedly on this cruise. Couldn't find anything else, though, thus my question to you.

Again, thanks for all your effort!

it is definitely not a charter, it is a group onboard.....as to size, I have no idea how many cabins the group has. I would not worry as to the impact on your cruise experience - tey may have some meetings in one of the "conference" rooms. other than that, whether cabins are booked as individuals or in a group as to specialty restaurants, etc....the cruiseline will sell the cabins no matter what.

 

Carol

Just brought to my attention -

on 11-18 January 2015, Eurodam is doing the "Smooth Jazz Cruise 2015",

on 25 January-1 February 2015, "The Jazz Cruise 2015".

I will make this correction on next update. I just had noted jazz cruise for both.

Carol

RSVP is supposedly in the process of chartering the Eurodam departure October 26.

08-21 DEC 2014 Volendam Singapore

thank you! the drydocks is the most difficult of the information for me to acquire. Do you happen to know how long it is scheduled for?

Carol

I had no idea there were so many charters :eek:

I agree -- it makes it hard to book cruises

Cj,

You already have the dates in your list but the July 20-27 on the Eurodam is an Atlantis charter from Copenhagen to Stockholm.
