Eurodam/NA dry dock

[AtMaui]

I apologize if this has been asked before but I couldn't find it under the search feature. I'm looking to book the Eurodam or NA for November 2013 and there are no cruises in the Caribbean on their calendar. There are only cruises in December.

 

Are they going into dry dock or are they chartered?

As the only cruises listed for the two ships in December 2013 are the Holiday cruises, which typically come out sooner, I would say the full schedules haven't been set yet.

The ships run on a 3 year dry dock schedule, don't they? If that's the case, Eurodam is due in mid-2014 for its 2nd drydock and NA in Fall 2013 for its first.

The N.A. drydock is scheduled for Apr 2013. Nothing showing in Destination Calendar for Eurodam yet.

It's too soon for the fall cruises to be listed.

 

Keep in mind that those ships will be in Europe and probably won't be back until at least the second week of November.

Be patient. Your cruises should be available within a few months.

Its just a little early for those cruise to be posted yet. As OP have said give it a month or two and those cruises should be there for you to pick one.

Ships must come out of the water every 25-30 months.

Thanks for all the replies. I was concerned because the December cruises were showing but then I suppose they would do the holiday ones. I'll just be patient and keep looking!

Best thing is to double check departure date and length of cruise. If Christmas or New Years Day occur during the course of that cruise they are released on a totally different schedule than "fall/winter" releases.
