Krazy Kruizers Posted September 6, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Thank you for the updates. I still think that HAL is wasting money on a dry dock for the Prinsendam knowing that she will no longer be with HAL after 6 months and spending money on renting her for those months.

William W Posted September 13, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Thanks for the update. I'm on Rotterdam's Dec 16, 2018 sailing, and I noticed when I went to check pricing for upgrades, all of the inside as well as most of the quads aside from suites are gone. Do you know if there is a large group just booked on this cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if there is a large group just booked on this cruise? The best way to find this information is by doing an online search with your ship name and date. Please come back here with any details you might find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzingnut Posted September 19, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 19, 2018 It's not money wasted...it's a required thing that needs to be done at that time (Dec.). It's just that the timing is bad in that HAL has to pay for it and not the German company (unless that's in the fine print in the sales agreement). I'm afraid I can't tell you what that requirement is...I don't remember...maybe Copper can chime in? Linda R. Thank you for the updates.I still think that HAL is wasting money on a dry dock for the Prinsendam knowing that she will no longer be with HAL after 6 months and spending money on renting her for those months.

Rare Copper10-8 Posted September 20, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 20, 2018 As could be expected with her sale to Germany's Phoenix Reisen, it appears Prinsendam's upcoming two-week drydock in Freeport (07-20 Dec 2018) has been cut in half and shortened to a one-week drydock (07-14 Dec). She now shows doing a 6-day Eastern Caribbean voyage (15-21 Dec) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaofami Posted September 21, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 21, 2018 My early September 2019 cruise to New England from NY to Quebec on Zuiderdam has been cancelled, yet I was offered a cruise on Zuidy from Quebec to NY on September 15, 2019. So, wonder how the ship is getting to Quebec. Copper, maybe you have some info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare VMax1700 Posted September 21, 2018 Author #17 Share Posted September 21, 2018 No, it was September 3, 2019 on Zuidy from NY not Boston to Quebec. Maybe it's going up to Quebec from Boston and then coming back on the 15th from Quebec to NY. That is correct. Which means that the September 27th sailing is from NY to Quebec. Interestingly, it seems that the 18 day VoV from Rotterdam August 16th to Boston September 3rd is not on the website, although the 35 day Boston July 30th to Boston September 3rd is available to book. Did you book directly or through a TA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted September 21, 2018 #18 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I booked through a TA and she got a notice that my cruise was cancelled. I then had the opportunity to chose to rebook 3 other Zuiderdam New England/ Canada cruises or get a refund of the deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The August 16th Sailing from Rotterdam, arriving Boston September 3rd is showing as 'Sold Out' (though the 35day round trip from Boston is still offered). Perhaps a large group have booked the remaining cabins and HAL have changed the itinerary to go to Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She now shows doing a 6-day Eastern Caribbean voyage (15-21 Dec) We are booked on that six day cruise. Some concern about sailing first cruise post dry dock. However, a day on the Prisendam is always better than a day on land!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
