Hammybee -- all your charters are now on the list. Please send me an email when you can

Rich

Your list shows that the 4/5/08 sailing of the Ryndam will have a carplayer poker group on board. I went to their web site and it doesn't show this cruise. Can you verify that the group will be on this cruise?

Thanks

The information was correct at the time it was added. There are several reasons you might not have found it. First is that there are several groups offering poker cruises. Second, since the cruise is not far off, they may have sold out and pulled it from their site. I have no way other than web searches to find these groups, so I have no one to call to verify if a group still exists.

The list exists as a guide only. I hope you enjoy your cruise.

Rich

Is there a way to find out about groups on other lines other than HAL?

 

we are presently booked for a RCI ship (as noted in my signature)

 

any info would be appreciated.

Since no one has any other answer, I will tell you what I know. My list was generated due to interest on this board. In following threads about groups, I have seen a list for CCL, but no where else (but I might have missed one).

I do not believe any board other than here and CCL has such a list.

Rich

Thanks for the clarification, it has now been corrected. It may take a day or so for the change to be applied everywhere.

Rich

I, or friends, have properly visited the site (wa70.com/hdisplay.php) from bellsouth.net, charter, comcast, and the cable co in Salisbury NC. There was a problem Friday which was fixed Friday morning. If someone is having a problem and will contact me directly, I will attempt to see what is wrong.

Rich

It is a TA in ND which puts together groups hosted by individuals there. I would guess smallish groups. I didn't realize I had misspelled the name -- it is Satrom.

That is SOOOO nice you you to do, Rich!!

Checking the Westerdam 10/19/08 & it says TBA

Wondering what that means. 'To Be Announced' does that mean there is one, but we just don't know who?

THANKS again for keeping this list! :)

rocks

Yes, the tba was on the organizers website for to be announced. I went back and it now has a title. The list has been updated.

Rich

I appreciate your help, you are correct -- sorry about the error. Everyone's help is what makes this easier to keep up with.

Rich

The elderhostel site lists the dates as being 3-22 to 4-12, but it seems that it is a tour-cruise-tour, boarding the Statendam on the 26th

Rich,

I just found out it is a Copia group cruise. Is there any way to find out how large this group is? I just emailed my TA to do some snooping.

Thanks,

GN

The only way I know of right now is if someone involved in the group reports a number. The size of the group does not appear anywhere I have seen on web sites.

Rich

sorry, the alaska part was a bad cut'n'paste, that has been corrected. The cruise appears on a site for the signature travel network which also lists the other COPIA cruises. I hesitate to take it off at this point.

I would like to take a quick opportunity to thank everyone who has sent updates to me for the group list. It is interesting to me to see the wide range of groups that book, some of which we would never know about because they really don't impact our cruise.

To onthegogirl -- if you go to the HAL website and book a cruise up to the point of selecting a cabin type, at the bottom of the page it shows which dining times are available and which are wait listed.

Rich

Pax 0 means no one has given any indication of group size and any website found does not contain the information. Where a number is given, it has been supplied either by a website, or a participant or organizer.

Rich

I checked and found web sites for both, then added to the list. Thanks for the help

Rich

Have been rather concerned about same topic (groups) on 10/24/07 Volendam 10 nt Canal Round-trip, because when we booked in early Feb, we could only get Balcony Guarantee and now very limited availability of inside & outside cabins, BUT only 4 people have posted on our rollcall thread!! So far I have found only 2 smallish groups: Bible Study and Bridge.

Where did you find those two groups, I don't have them yet

Rich

I called to inquire of the travel agent for the 7/15 Noordam Neal Donald Walsh group cruise and was told there approx. 100 passengers for this group.

Thanks, I updated that group.

Rich

The groups list is now up to 113 entries. I want to thank again everyone who has contributed information. Each submission has given me ideas for other searches which have been fruitful. If anyone has any ideas to make it more useful, please let me know

Rich

Thanks to all who have emailed or posted groups. This is a community effort. Special thanks to those who pointed out my typos. Hope everyone enjoys their cruises.

Rich

I have updated the list with several groups mentioned in the active threads. I also changed the program to allow listing only one ship. I hope ya'll find this useful and update me on groups to add

Rich

use

to let me know about groups

Thanks

Rich

Several weeks ago I participated in a thread on this subject and set up a database including all groups I knew about at that time. I added groups mentioned in that thread and now have added groups mentioned in the two most recent threads. It is located at http://www.wa70.com/hdisplay.php. I will add any groups emailed to me, and any I happen to find. I will also add any other common HAL info anyone feels is would be appropriate.
