We had six excursions, five were canceled.

Honolulu was the first stop in the old itinerary too. I can only guess what is going on. Refunds silently appeared on my account. No emails and no shore excursion on the HAL site.

Excursions disappeared after HAL shifted ports “due to current requirements for cruising to Hawaii”. No message from HAL on that. What could it mean? All sea days?

I am form US. I doubt Holland America plans only NZ and Australians on board, but it is an interesting option for HA – narrowing some cruises to locals only. Well, I should plan New Year on Alaska cruise then (((

Does anyone believe that New Zealand will open borders for cruises in December 2020? It will require a vaccine, broad immunization, and some staging to open borders. It cannot be done in less than three months. Airlines already canceled both my flights. However, HA does not cancel the cruise. They expect the full payment soon. Sorry, but it looks like Holland America is letting us to cancel to avoid reimbursing deposits.
