LiveLifeLoud Posted December 10, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I have a cruise booked for 5/15/17 on Holland America Zaandam. This is a land first, then cruise ( boarding the ship on 5/21/17). I went to HAL's website to check for any price reductions and it is showing that the cruise is sold out is there anywhere that I can go to see if it has been chartered?

paul929207 Posted December 10, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 10, 2016 You can try googling the ship and sailing date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted December 10, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I would be asking this on the HAL board here at CC. However, as long as it is still showing on the HAL website, it has not been chartered. If it is chartered, it will disappear altogether. I just went to the HAL website and it is showing availability in all categories but Neptune Suite. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted December 10, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2016 You can check the unofficial list they have on HAL forum http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2430548 could be just a popular cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted December 10, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) If it is chartered- late for that to happen, but not impossible- you will be given other options, as you won't be able to be on a charter unless you book through the group chartering the cruise. A group booking may have taken a portion of the ship. That is different. You usually won't be given any options then, as it may not affect you at all.

LiveLifeLoud Posted December 10, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Thank you very much! My TA said that the land portion is booked, not the cruise itself:). Glad I went ahead and got the Neptune suite. Sent from my XT1650 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondilu Posted December 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Could just be sold out. My cruise on Princess next October shows most categories sold out on and off. I check regularly for price reductions and availability comes and goes. I'm assuming people book and then change their mind. As stated before try Googling the name of the ship and date and see if anything comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much, much lower capacity than just a cruise. Popular tours sell out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
