June 2024 Update HAL Dry Docks, Charters & Groups Onboard

Wondering, the no schedule on the Rotterdam Jan. 10-16…refit to get rid of Rudi’s and change room to Morimoto?  I’m praying not cause I’m on next cruise and I love Rudi’s, but I’m quite afraid that’s what the blank time spot will be.  Thoughts?

You have Koningsdam 3/15/25 - April 2025.  Dry rock or charter.     Below under Koningsdam it shows 2026

I'm concerned because we are booked to Mexican Riviera 3/22/25.

What's the deal story???

I think it is a charter, but as it is a private corporate charter (ie not being sold) it is difficult to get full information.  But based on prior years, it's a charter for RBC.  (Royal Bank of Canada)

I sure hope you’re right! 🤞🏻🤞🏻. Thanks!

It looks like HAL has scheduled a one week Caribbean cruise on the Zaandam for January 18, 2025 which is when she was supposed to start drydock.

Thanks.  Looks like dry dock reduced to 14 days as she is still listed for Amazon Explorer commencing February 8th. I wonder have they decided not to carry out some particular change that was going to take extra time?

It must have been a recent decision because I hadn't seen that January 18 cruise listed until this week.
