sail7seas Posted February 26, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I went to HAL site and in the "Find Your Cruise' box entered July 2013 and then August 2013 and when the choose your ship list appeared, Maasdam was not on the list? HUH??? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted February 26, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Actually Sail, she doesn't show from May 2013 and on. Perhaps a glitch on the HAL site or all her itineraries aren't set yet:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 26, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Perhaps no glitch at all. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypercafe Posted February 26, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Maybe she is being sent to the great beyond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 26, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted February 26, 2012 She's be sold before she sees the 'great beyond'. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seago2 Posted February 26, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Perhaps no glitch at all. :eek: Thank god I have this 10/12 cruise booked. Horrors: my son and his GF announced last night at dinner (cue scary music) that not only have they booked ALLURE:o:eek::eek::eek: but that my mother is Going as well. Called Mom this morning to confirm: "oh yes, it sounds like such a great idea! And I know how you love cruises! (silence) Did I do something wrong?". Two words, Mom: HOT. DOGS. Here are two more: JOHNNY. ROCKETS. So this puts my Maasdam cruise in serious jeopardy. My fear of Allure is so innate and so profound that I may actually blow off the family cruise. Hmmm.

sail7seas Posted February 26, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The Destination Calender has Maasdam in Canada/New England. What dates? Please.......... :) Where, pray tell, is the Destination Calendar? If I knew, I'd go look myself. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 26, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The Destination Calender has Maasdam in Canada/New England. I cannot find anywhere on that site where Maasdam is scheduled for Canada/New England May, June, July or August 2013. Are you referring to 2012? We booked that about a year ago.

Eh, go on the Behemouth of the seas 2. It can't be ALL bad. :-) Besides, it will make you appreciate HAL even more, if it's that bad. Personally I'm not afraid of the traveling cities, but I can see where they aren't for everyone. I've not yet experienced one, but will at some point. I presume I'll always like the signature size ship better overall, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiserBruce Posted February 26, 2012 #13 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thank you vivapataca- seemed pretty straight forward to me, but don't know how to post the screen capture like you did;) Sail, it is on the HAL site, under Find a Cruise.

What price are you willing to pay for family peace? :D Maasdam seems to be safe according to the chart we just saw so maybe you're off the behemouth hook? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaofami Posted February 26, 2012 #19 Share Posted February 26, 2012 So is she safe? Posting from my new phone. Can"t enlarge print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted February 26, 2012 Author #20 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Carol, Your print size is fine. Seems Maasdam is accounted for through July 2013. Whew...... I was getting a tad 'uneasy'. It was strange she didn't appear on the fleet list in the Find Cruise Box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ka Honu Posted February 26, 2012 #21 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'd double check before believing the color-coded chart. It shows Maasdam in the Caribbean the first half of October when she'll actually be sailing through Canada/New England and then to FLL until the 19th.

Boytjie Posted February 26, 2012 #22 Share Posted February 26, 2012 So this puts my Maasdam cruise in serious jeopardy. My fear of Allure is so innate and so profound that I may actually blow off the family cruise. I say for family sake keep an open mind and try it. :) The Goliaths of the Sea are not quite my cup of tea but I think it would be interesting to sail it (once). ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himself Posted February 26, 2012 #23 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Here. I would presume the term "under construction" means that the vessel is in drydock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted February 26, 2012 #24 Share Posted February 26, 2012 That is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friend100 Posted February 26, 2012 #25 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I would presume the term "under construction" means that the vessel is in drydock. It could be :confused:. This is directly from HAL. I just checked Nieuw Amsterdam as an example. Last Caribbean sailing in April 2013 will end on 4/21/2013, then the Transatlantic crossing from Fort Lauderdale will begin on 4/30/2013. Whereas for Noordam, it doesn't look like she has drydock in January 2013. So, like a PP said, I'll double-check before 100% believing. Sorry if I have caused any confusion. :oThe chart was simply taken directly from HAL site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
