We are booked for a 24 day Mediterranean cruise in September 2021. This cruise was rebooked as our cruise with the same itinerary was cancelled in Sept 2020. For us not doing our own land excursions will be a deal breaker. I spent months mapping out our own walking tours of several of the ports as we choose to be able to explore the our own pace.

We were booked on a 24 day Mediterranean Cruise for Sept. 2020, rebooked for the same itinerary Sept. 2021. Looking like that may not happen now. I see HA cancelling all Med cruises until June & I have a feeling that it will be extended. I would like to rebook for 2022 but only see 2 dates July & end of Sept available. Does anyone see more dates available.

Yes she said it was due to increased port charges

Our TA has informed us that we have been changed from a midship Zuiderdam VE category to one of the 4 aft Volendam BC cabins which is guaranteed. Holland America also increased the price from $17,000.00 to 18,000.00 for our 24 day Mediteraanean cruise. We are waiting for the bookings to open up to see what our options are.

Ours is a 24 day Mediterranean cruise which I rebooked for Sept. 2021as my Sept. 2020 cruise was of course cancelled. This was to be our 45th wedding anniversary celebration. I too am thinking that I should be looking for 2022, I love the itinerary & am hoping that it will be available.

Thank you. I did look at the deck plan & have read that of the two balcony decks, our guarantee cabin is on the most desired deck &. I am not very happy with being so far aft as we had booked midship but will be checking when booking is available again

I would hope that Holland would take in consideration when we booked and the fact that we are on the ship for the whole 24 days & did not just book a portion of the cruise when assigning the cabin. I know that the VE category we booked on the Zuiderdam has no equal to the cabins on the Volendam but we did pay over $17,000.00 for this cruise. I will be checking the cabin options & prices once this cruise is once again available to book. I

OurDeck 7 BC cabin that was assigned is under the sea view pool & above a deck with all staterooms

I am waiting until the cruise booking for this ship opens up again & will be looking to see what is available & perhaps rebook a different cabin

We originally did pick our own cabin but this is the cabin category that was assigned to us following the switch from Zuiderdam to Volendam.

That is what I thought, read here that someone did not want a guarantee room so I was wondering about it.

We are part of the passengers moved from Zuiderdam to Volendam for our Sept 2021 24 day Mediterranean Cruise. We had booked VE cabin & have recently been informed we will have a guaranteed BC cabin. Could someone please shed a light what this means exactly

We were booked on a 24 day cruise Venice to Rome, leaving Sept. 11, on the Zuiderdam category VE almost mid ship. As we have been been changed to the Volendam we have been given now a guarantee BC on deck 7 which I have read is the preferred deck. Never sailed HAL before but the itenerary is a must & it has not changed. Have been reading the comments. Can someone explain guarentee, what you think of these aft rooms & should I request a different cabin. For the money we paid I think this is a downgrade

Could you tell me which itinerary has been changed please. Our email stated the ship change but I am not sure if our itinerary has changed. Thank you

Thanks. Having known that Zuiderdam’s bookings are closed I was wondering how he booked, never thinking 2022. As our September 24 day Mediterranean cruise is being switched to Volendam I was looking at an alternate for next fall if the cabin we are assigned is not to our liking.
