Putterdude Posted August 2, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2013 We were advised yesterday that this sailing to Hawaii has been canceled and it would appear that the Jan 3/2015 has been canceled as well. Anyone know or guess why??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putterdude Posted August 2, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I know that, this is the Grand from LA....anyone know why?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherylandtk Posted August 2, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Official word is "deployment changes". Unofficial word is that there will be fewer 2 week cruises to Hawaii (apparently having both the Star and Grand were too much Hawaii to sell) and that they will be substituting other West Coast itineraries for the cancelled weeks. Exactly what and when remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Day Cruiser Posted August 3, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Isn't the Crown joining the others for Hawaii now that the Golden and Sapphire will be leaving. I knew about the Sapphire, but where is the Golden going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
san diego sue Posted August 3, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I know the Golden is doing South America and leaving this December. Don't know if she is coming back after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovevacadays Posted August 4, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Wow. I have seen a few threads indicating that several Hawaii cruises have been cancelled. I wonder why? I would assume either they are really having to discount them or port fees are really expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruises to HI have higher than normal operating costs due to using more fuel and needing a larger CD staff and lecturers to plan activities due to so many sea days. Ships are redeployed where they can command higher prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galsmiley Posted August 4, 2013 #11 Share Posted August 4, 2013 This is a real bummer. We were looking at the January 3, 2015 Hawaiian out of LA since it fit my daughter's college winter break perfectly. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
