[blue whale]

So pleased to learn that Rotterdam is scheduled for dry dock in Dec 2013. We are scheduled to board in January for an 88 night cruise out of Southampton. Lovely that Rotterdam will be in shipshape condition!

Trvlcrzy - thank you for your comprehensive lists and the work that has gone into them.

 

I note under your "iffy" list...

 

Amsterdam July 27 – Aug 2 rumor of large group

 

This is merely a personal opinion, but with the popularity of Amsterdam's 14-night cruises, what in the world would possess HAL to break up two 14-night itineraries in a row!?! :eek: I realize money talks, but wouldn't it make more sense for HAL to press that *possible* second charter to sail July 20-27 and fill that second week of the original July 13th cruise? This is merely a rhetorical question...

[English_in_Spain]

Seeing all this charters and groups which seem to be taking over HAL is putting me off a bit from booking any cruises with them.

 

We have booked a B2B on the Eurodam because the Noordam was chartered now I see the Eurodam is showing several groups.

 

Does anyone have any idea how large these groups are? How much they will take over facilities on the ship?

 

I have heard stories in the past of passengers complaining about not being able to use certain lounges because a group had booked it.

[trvlcrzy]

I feel confident that the medical groups will be small, utilizing spaces like the Hudson Room and such for continuing education seminars.

 

I can't imagine that all of the Inspiration groups will be large, but the popular ones (Michael W. Smith, the Gaither Homecoming, and probably Third Day) will be charters anyway.

 

The bridge groups might close the smaller meeting rooms, but I think I've read about some unscheduled bridge play among group members taking tables in the Lido Restaurant and pool area.

 

Hope others will add experiences/comments.

[Krazy Kruizers]

We have been on cruises with medical groups -- they were very small - had meetings just in one of the small rooms like Hudson room.

We have also been on a cruise with the organized bridge players -- they played bridge all morning, all afternoon and all evening!! It was on a Vista class ship and they had the Half Moon Room and Hudson Room.

They wasn't any place for the unscheduled bridge players to play -- so they moved tables together in the Lido and took over a chunk of that area for several hours every day!! Made it rough for lunch.

 

[Krazy Kruizers]

Thank you for the updates,

HAL should reserve the Westerdam completely for the year -- I think I saw her listed for 13 charters -- some big ones and some small ones.

[dobiemom]

Here are 2 groups that will be on the Oosterdam:

 

http://www.*****.com/

http://www.goodsamclubrvtours.com/62/

 

Both will be on 10/22/11 (Hawaii) and the card players will also be on 12/3/11 (MR). Thanks for doing this!

[Boytjie]

Does anyone have any idea how large these groups are? How much they will take over facilities on the ship?

 

One can even have groups on a charter cruise! :D

 

One example of a group that regularly takes over a venue for its own function is the Cruise Critic Meet and Greet! ;)

 

On any ship there is always the possibility that some group may use some facility exclusively at times; just as some tables/sections of a restaurant may be taken over by some group. Using a facility exclusively for most of a cruise is a big issue though.

[WISCruiser]

Lest we forget the National Review Cruise :eek: (November 12 - 19, 2012). I was on the Nieuw Amsterdam NR cruise last year (as a non-participant). They definetly used alot of any available rooms, the Lido Pool area (for parties) and the Mainstage area alot. I would not recommend this cruise if you are not involved with the NR group.

[RobinAnn]

There will be a group of square dancers on the Oosterdam 7/1/12 - 7/8/12 after the national convention in Spokane.

[Rowsby]

I know this thread is about 2012 cruises but I wondered if anyone has had experience with this group....

The Card Player (Poker) group will be on the 14 day Oosterdam cruise to Hawaii on October 22nd...

and the 7 day Oosterdam cruise to the Mexican Riviera on December 3, 2011...

I've heard that the crow's nest is completely closed for their use...??

2013 (alphabetical by ship only)

...

Westerdam – January 13 – 20, 2013 January 2013 – 7-day Smooth Jazz Cruise week 1

Westerdam – January 20 – 27, 2013 – 7-day Smooth Jazz Cruise week 2

Westerdam – January 27 – February 3, 2013 – 7-day Jazz Cruise

One more to add to this list now, but not immediately following the cruises above:

Westerdam - 17-24 February 2013 - Soul Train Cruise

 

I expect this to be a full charter.

 

The week is still onsale on the HAL site, but interestingly the 10 February 2013 week is currently offsale.

[Mary Ellen]

I know this thread is about 2012 cruises but I wondered if anyone has had experience with this group....

 

and the 7 day Oosterdam cruise to the Mexican Riviera on December 3, 2011...

I've heard that the crow's nest is completely closed for their use...??

A few years ago our friends were onboard this cruise. Same ship, time frame, itineary. The Crow's Nest was closed the entire cruise. The poker players had the space 24/7. Our friends weren't happy.

[boards]

Ask the group that are on the Oosterdam now, there is a thread running right now, if that poker group is on the ship and if they are causing any kind of problem, like taking over the Crow's Nest. So far I haven't read on their thread anything about a poker group.

[MDDCFlyer]

In 2013, the Oosterdam is going to be charted by Atlantis - Feb 20 till March 3.

[IRL_Joanie]

A few years ago our friends were onboard this cruise. Same ship, time frame, itineary. The Crow's Nest was closed the entire cruise. The poker players had the space 24/7. Our friends weren't happy.

 

A couple weeks ago another CC member emailed me re: the 7 day Oosterdam cruise to the Mexican Riviera on December 3, 2011 and the fear that the Crow's Nest and other places on the Oosterdam would be over run/Closed off due to the Poker Players group.

 

I contacted the TA handling the Poker Players group and not only emailed the CC member, but also posted here on CC that according to the TA, there are only about 200 poker players booked on this cruise and the only rooms that will be used by them are the Stuyvesant and Hudson Rooms.

 

The TA said that there should be no impact to anyone who is not a member of this Poker Playing group.

This is the list of events causing ships to be "out of service" for traditional bookings. This can mean Dry-Docks or charters.

AMSTERDAM also has a Charter in Alaska next summer

[IslandThyme]

Not sure how to post about this, but Google tells me that CraftCruises.com has a knitting group advertised for the 2012 Voyage of the Vikings July 14 on Maasdam. I don't know how to tell how large the group might be.

[innlady1]

We already have an awful lot of stickies (although I don't know why we still need two on AYWD :confused:) and one of the stickies is entitled Is There A Way To Determine If A Group Is Booked On Your Cruise. Maybe thie initial post by trvlcrzy should be duplicated there.

 

If you just want to be able to find it again easily, subscribe to it and then just view your list of subscribed threads as needed.

 

Good idea! Travel Crazy...this is a great list you've done. Thanks so much.
