richarduk Posted April 21, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Just to advise that if anyone is booked on Westerdam 15 Aug 17, this sailing has been shortened from 12 to 10 days and now misses Korcula and Koper. Not sure if this also affects the follow on 12 day ex Venice. We're a bit disappointed as Korcula is a beautiful island and was going to be a first for HAL we think.

scm1848 Posted April 21, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2016 2017 would not have been a first for HAL. We spent a lovely day there on the Noordam in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted April 22, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Any particular reason for the change, dry dock maybe? That would be disappointing but at least you have plenty of notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have not given a reason to date. I found the change myself. My TA didn't notify me. I'll ask when they come back to me with our options.

It has changed from a 12 day to a 14 day. It now departs Aug.25th. I do not know the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn2002 Posted April 22, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I was planning to book this cruise when on board my summer 2016 cruise. I've checked the Holland America website and now cannot even see the cruise. Does it still depart from the Rome port and visit Malta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looked again on the Holland America website and it looks to me as if they have removed the Westerdam 15 August 2017 cruise altogether. Can you please whether the sailing has been chartered (or possibly dry dock) or just shortened. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's peak season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richarduk Posted April 26, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I have been advised by HAL via my travel agent that the 15th Aug sailing is reduced from 12 to 10 nights and now misses Korcula and Koper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
