Orlando Ashford's Latest Statement - Humanitarian crisis
Wehwalt replied to AlanF65's topic in Holland America Line
I think the "straight to the airport" part is to reassure Floridians and the important part to HAL is to have the passengers allowed to disembark. -
Holland America extends operational pause notice
Wehwalt replied to Cruisepucks's topic in Holland America Line
They might. Or they might give ten cents on the dollar in coupons. My point was they don't have to stand behind them in bankruptcy. And given that CCL's major asset is foreign-flagged ships, it might be difficult to free up funds to pay off the passengers. I would not expect public opinion in the US to support the passengers. Go read the comments on any article on Zaandam open for comments in the media. -
What will post covid 19 cruising look like....?
Wehwalt replied to Qcruise's topic in Holland America Line
Not to mention the high-tech morgue and the great devices for detecting if you've opened your stateroom door a crack while under quarantine. Seriously, people are going to be very concerned about the premature termination of the cruise and repatriation and little things like that. -
Holland America extends operational pause notice
Wehwalt replied to Cruisepucks's topic in Holland America Line
Unsecured creditors at best, if these FCC's have monetary value, which they may or may not. In other words, at the end of the line of creditors, or pretty close. -
I suspect that HAL will announce the same today and the only reason they didn't before was the Zaandam situation.

For Amsterdam WC passengers getting off/getting home and beyond
Wehwalt replied to cruzingnut's topic in Holland America Line
Are you quoting from somewhere on this? I was previously unaware the Grand Africa would be given in 2021 and the websites I've seen say Amsterdam will end a 13-day repositioning from Montreal in FLL on 10/22/21. -
This article which I previously posted says otherwise. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/passengers-die-aboard-cruise-ship-stranded-panama-200327190914188.html "On Wednesday, Panama's Health Minister Rosario Turner had said the Zaandam would be allowed to pass through the canal. But on Friday morning, Panama's seaway administrator Ricaurte Vasquez said the health ministry had denied access to the liner."

Carnival has postponed their announcement
Wehwalt replied to wyobean's topic in Holland America Line
Or will be in nine months ... kinda like the NYC blackout in the 60s ... -
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/passengers-die-aboard-cruise-ship-stranded-panama-200327190914188.html That's an interesting article, as is the little squib discussing Zaandam some ways below the main story. If this is accurate, permission had been granted on Wednesday but that was contradicted on Friday, and the squib below says Zaandam was denied based on "sanitary conditions".
