Where is Maasdam??

[sail7seas]

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:

[kazu]

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:

[sail7seas]

Perhaps no glitch at all. :eek:

[hypercafe]

Maybe she is being sent to the great beyond.

[sail7seas]

She's be sold before she sees the 'great beyond'. :eek:

[Seago2]

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.

[CruiserBruce]

The Destination Calender has Maasdam in Canada/New England.

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

[sail7seas]

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.

[sail7seas]

Here.

 

 

 

Thank you. :)

That is such good news. Really appreciate your posting this.

Where did you find this chart on the site?

 

 

[CruiserBruce]

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. It is the Destination Calender.

Yikes .... :eek:

 

You poor cruiser....

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

[Friend100]

Thank you. :)

[sail7seas]

Thank you.

 

But could you tell me how to get to it so I'll know how in the future? :o

 

Thanks, if you don't mind sharing how.

Sail, I explained it in the above post. It is on the main, front page of the HAL site. The correct title for the link/pull down menu is "Find Cruises". Or are you just ignoring me?

:eek:

 

NO, OF COURSE I'm not ignoring you. :o I didn't see that post. I looked at the times and see I was typing when you posted and when I looked back I didn't see your post.

Sorry. I missed it but I really appreciate your helping me.

 

VERY sorry to have not seen your good instructions.

 

[mamaofami]

So is she safe? Posting from my new phone. Can"t enlarge print.

[sail7seas]

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.

[Ka Honu]

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.

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). ;)

[Himself]

I would presume the term "under construction" means that the vessel is in drydock.

[CruiserBruce]

That is correct.

[Friend100]

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.
