Here is the latest update to the Dry Docks, Charters & Groups information.

Not much activity since the February update, but there are a few gaps in sailing schedules so I have included most of them as 'Possible Charter' until more information can be found.

For any errors, I apologise in advance!

 

As usual, any information you can provide on upcoming Dry Docks, Charters or Groups, then please post to this thread and I will update the information in the next file.

 

New information since last update is shown in RED.

 

 

PLANNED DRY DOCKS

Koningsdam 25 March 2023 – 13 April 2023

Nieuw Amsterdam 29 September 2024 – 20 October 2024 (Possible date?)

Nieuw Statendam 09 November 2023 – 26 November 2023

Oosterdam 08 October 2023 – 20 October 2023

 

 

 

Do you know if the Oosterdam dry dock will include any refresh or changes? I have read a several posts where passengers have commented that the ship is looking a bit shabby and needs a refresh. How can we find out if this is just a mechanical dry dock or something more substantial?

I am looking at a summer 2024 cruise on this ship, but I am hesitant based on recent reviews.

Thanks

Does anyone know how much Princess charges for the use of the Enclave/Thermal Spa? I am planning a cruise on Regal Princess later in the year and I was thinking of checking out the Enclave since I will have a few sea days.

Sounds like a glitch to me on the App.

 

You should have been able to book a long time ago.

 

Try on the website version of the App.

Go to your cruise personalizer,  click on the cruise you have, move down

you’ll see a small blue hyperlink “Try our website version of the App”.

 

I would use my name and booking number to log in.  Do not link anything or reregister.  
 

You should see Dine My Way (DMW)

Try that.  If you still can’t…call Princess and have them do it for you.

 

Thanks so much for the information.  My MDR reservations "disappeared" from the app, but when I went into the Web version, the reservations were there. I also could book specialty dining.

Yes, it should have.  Here is the theory of the system from Princess:

 

If you are Platinum or Elite, you should have immediate access to book dining as soon as you have a booking with a deposit down and the booking is showing in the Princess App.  

 

If you are not yet at those levels in Captain's Circle, then dining opens after you make Final Payment.  Note this does not necessarily mean the FP Date - it means when the guest makes FP, which could be sooner of course.

Final payment was made in November. My friend is also having the same issue and I think she is Platinum level. 

Does anyone know when we will be able to make specialty dining reservations prior to the cruise? The app says to check back closer to the cruise. We are 8 days from the cruise. I would expect it to have opened by now.

We are sailing on Super Bowl Sunday on the Ruby Princess. Will the ship broadcast the game? 

We are thinking about booking a New England/Canada cruise for next summer. HAL has two ships sailing that area. Zaandam or Amsterdam? Are they basically the same ship? They seem to be in the same class. Thoughts or comments?

Also, is there any chance that HAL will implement any of their new music partnerships such as Billboard Onboard, BB Kings or Lincoln Center Stage on either of these ships? I know they are small and have limited space, but maybe they convert some of their existing space.

Thanks
