are the 2016-2017 cruise atlas available yet?

I asked my ta to get me one and HAL shipped her the 2015-2016 that I got on a cruise last year.

I don't think it would be ready as HAL has not posted its fall schedule yet. Maybe by next march.

IT is online and I picked up mine at my local AAA office a couple of weeks ago.

We picked ours up on Zuiderdam in early August. We were on a B2B and I believe they came in on August 2nd, changeover day in Civitavecchia. It was a few days following that I noticed the old ones had been replaced.

Our TA sent us one the other day.

Yes, I received on a bit ago.

sail,

Did you receive it directly from HAL or from your TA? We Mariners are supposed to be mailed a copy automatically. Trying to decide whether to be patient or not before making a request.

Yes it is, both in print and on the HAL website in the Digital Brochure section. They are actually dated April, 2016 to April 2017, but I've never received a print version before June that I can remember.

HAL will send you an Annual Cruise Planner which is a much smaller book. The Cruise Atlas has 225 pages of all of the itineraries, the ships, the ship layout, etc. I have never received a Cruise Atlas from HAL as a Mariner benefit. As soon as I find out that the Cruise Atlas is online I head to my TA to get one. This year I had to make two trips as my TA didn't know that the atlas was available in mid-August so they had to order them from HAL. Make your request.

My PCC sent me one in early June. I've never received one from the Mariner Society either. The on-line version is okay if you use the enlarge function.

Could you please post a link as I can only see the 2015-2016 one.

Seeing you have not yet received one, I would suggest requesting a copy.

Surely cannot hurt. :)

When you click on e Brochures on the HAL site you see the 2015-15 first, the 2016-17 is half a page down. Here's your link:

Don't forget the enlarge function - The magnifying glass at the upper left

and have 3 cruises booked on HAL. You would think that they would send us one as we are likely to book more cruises for 2017.

Me too and will become 5 Star on my next cruise: Statendam, the Final Voyage!

Marketing and PR Departments at some of the Carnival Corporation brands operate strangely, in my opinion.

It's dollars and cents driven. I'd hate to think what a 225-page brochure, done in high quality, 6 color lithography, costs these days. I'm guessing close to $20 a piece. It's like a "coffee-table book" without a hard cover. I don't know if they send them to anyone who doesn't request one.

I don't even see on the website where one CAN request one! Maybe I will try requesting one from the Mariner's desk.

Thank you very much for posting the link. We, too, only see the 2015/16 brochure on the HAL website.

Go to HAL's home page, scroll down to bottom half of page to the column headed Plan a Cruise (same location where you can view the digital version of the Guide under E-Brochures). Towards the bottom of the column click "Order a Brochure". It opens to " Send me a Cruise Vacation Guide". If that's not a Cruise Atlas when it arrives, I'd call a HAL PCC and request one.

we like the hard copy to better plan our future cruises. Might even find one to add that we didn't plan on so HAL would benefit sending one to us unasked. I doubt that it costs them $20 but 2 balcony cruisers really offset that cost.

Seems the availability of the new Cruise Atlas is hit or miss. Just returned from the Statendam on Aug. 10 and the Future Cruise Specialist had only two copies to work with. We had to sit in the library to look at it so we could book the cruise we were interested in. She told us the brochures wouldn't be available to the public until the end of September.

I picked up two copies about six weeks ago from a local TA! ;)

If you are lucky enough to be on a HAL ship in the next month or so, you might find some 2016-2017 Cruise Atlases. Last week on the Amsterdam, there were some at the Future Cruise person's desk on the 2nd or 3rd day of the cruise and there were some in the Neptune Lounge. I was happy to find a copy on the ship.

I was unable to order one from HAL. Their response to me was that they no longer mail them. They only mail regional brochures without ship diagrams, etc. So I guess you have to pick one up wherever you can.

They are available on the HAL site
