Has my cruise been chartered?

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?

You can try googling the ship and sailing date

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

You can check the unofficial list they have on HAL forum

could be just a popular cruise

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.

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.

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.

Yup! Your TA is correct . It is not the cruise that is sold out , it is the Tour .

You booked a Cruise/Tour . Much, much lower capacity than just a cruise.

Popular tours sell out quickly.
