If anyone has any further information, please post it here and I will update the list

Please remember: This list of groups contains those that I am aware of. Just because your cruise is not on the list does not guarantee there is not a group.

Carol

Does anyone have any information about these cruises?

Amsterdam : 12 May 2014 - 17 May 2014

Eurodam : 4 June 2014 - 14 June 2014

Eurodam : 20 July 2014 - 27 July 2014

N Amsterdam : 14 May 2014 - 24 May 2014

Ryndam : 23 March 2014 - 6 April 2014

They do not appear in HAL's schedule and are not believed to be dry docks :confused:

Hi Carol,

As you know I'm booked on N Amsterdam in July 23 2014 and I booked it while I was on the Eurodam last week and they let me to do it. Well, checking now on the famous "scanner of the sea" , it shows all the cruise but mine and that in June 5th 2014 says: not prices yet. I'm starting to be suspicious :confused:

I will informe you if i find out more informations.

Ciao,

Fabio.

HAL, on their website, are showing the 12 night Mediterranean Romance for both 5 June and 23 July.

Please let me know if you see/hear anything more

Thank you for the updates.

Hi English -

Pleae see what I have found out below.

Amsterdam : 12 May 2014 - 17 May 2014 - most likely a coastal sailing not built yet.

Eurodam : 4 June 2014 - 14 June 2014 - two 5 day charters

N Amsterdam : 14 May 2014 - 24 May 2014 - 10 day RT Venice (open to book)

Ryndam : 23 March 2014 - 6 April 2014 - Dry Dock

The two Eurodam cruises on the list will be charters. HAL has some agreement (for the last 3 or 4 years) chartering out a ship in the Northern Europe area to, I think, a German travel agency.

N Amsterdam : 14 May 2014 - 24 May 2014 - 10 day RT Venice (open to book)

 

Ryndam : 23 March 2014 - 6 April 2014 - Dry Dock

N Amsterdam 14-24 May 2014 10 day RT Venice (open to book) – I don’t see this on HAL webpage :confused:

Ryndam. According to Copper10-8 Ryndam's dry dock is 16-29 November 2014 in Freeport, Bahamas :confused:

HALcruiser4life says that Eurodam 4-14 June is two 5 day charters. Do you mean these 2 cruises are chartered to this agency or do you mean the June and the July dates I have listed?

Both the June and July dates are charters to the same agency, as I understand it.

so upon further research it looks as if the Nieuw Amsterdams date is a charter :(

regarding the Ryndam dry dock it is for sure the dates I listed....there is nothing past her transatlantic because nothing has been built yet for carribbean

Do you have any details for the Nieuw Amsterdam charter?

Copper10-8 posted his dates here

Can you tell me where you get the dates 23 March 2014 - 6 April 2014 for the Ryndam dry dock. Also what do you mean by "nothing has been built yet for carribbean"? What is being built?

Copper10-8. If you read this can you confirm which dates are correct

When I get conflicting information with no way of confirming it makes it very difficult to keep this list going :o. If anyone posts information it would help me if they quoted their source.

Thanks

I actually work for HAL. When I say nothing has been built yet I mean that the sailings haven't been set yet in the booking system.

As you work for HAL and obviously have access to information I do not, would you be prepared to take over the maintenance of this list of charters, dry docks and groups?

Unfortunately, I do not have the time (just had a baby in Feb.) to do this but I can try and keep you updated with info.
