Rare VMax1700 Posted October 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Good morning and welcome to the October 2022 edition of Dry Docks, Charters and Groups Onboard thread. The Dry Dock situation continues to be a puzzle. There are gaps in many of the sailing schedules, but the dates and the length of the gaps gives uncertainty as to whether some of them are Dry Docks or just Charters that have not been identified. I have posted these dates on the Dry Dock section of the post, but if anyone has further information of a dry dock or undiscovered charter then please post on this thread so that I can update the information. Please note that the sailings listed are taken from various sources so it is possible that the itinerary does not coincide with the currently published HAL itinerary. As usual, if you have information about groups charters or dry docks then please post here and I will update in the next file. New information since last update is shown in RED.

Keeping an eye on the Eurodam dry dock as we are booked for April 9 on Eurodam. The five days in April are too short for a dry dock so I really think that it is a charter that I cannot find! The February/March dates is 14 days. A bit long for a dry dock, but who knows? If the docks also have the labour shortages that all other employers are experiencing, then maybe the dry dock which took 10 days previously is now being scheduled for 14 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Roz Posted October 16, 2022 #10 Share Posted October 16, 2022 That is a A LOT of charters! Pent up demand? I'm guessing groups that had charters scheduled in 2020 and 2021 have re-scheduled them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly looks like a full charter as the date is no longer available to book online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAKcruiser Posted October 19, 2022 #14 Share Posted October 19, 2022 This looks like a very interesting itinerary - roundtrip Fort Lauderdale with stops in New Orleans and Cozumel. Why couldn't HAL do this itinerary on a regular sailing? It would be a relief from the same old ports they do all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
