GrammyPL Posted June 28, 2005 #26 Share Posted June 28, 2005 PNickle----I wrote a review after we got back from the Amazon Cruise sometime between Xmas and New Yrs. (or maybe before Xmas) I think you can still look it up on this board. You will love the trip--we did. Penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgottlieb Posted June 29, 2005 #27 Share Posted June 29, 2005 We are still booked on the Prinsendam for Dec 6, 2006. No word from HAL about cancelling. We booked in April while aboard the Oosterdam and got shipboard credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAKcruiser Posted June 29, 2005 Author #28 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I just tried calling HAL again. This time the rep told me that the Prinsendam was still scheduled to do the Orinoco itinerary on December 6, 2006. The only problem was that the cruise was not loaded into the system yet and it was too early to book. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, he told me he was a supervisor and he was positive of the information he had just given to me. He repeated that I should call back in about a month at which time the cruise would be available to book. Do you believe that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgottlieb Posted June 29, 2005 #29 Share Posted June 29, 2005 The cruise has been on and off the HAL website for the last month or so. I guess we just wait! I am already booked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAKcruiser Posted July 7, 2005 Author #30 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Has anybody received any updated information on the Prinsendam schedule for December? I still haven't been able to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wander Posted July 7, 2005 #31 Share Posted July 7, 2005 For those of you questioning the condition of the Prinsendam and lamenting that it might be in terrible shape, did none of you read the Grumpy World Cruise 2005 series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAKcruiser Posted July 8, 2005 Author #32 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I just checked with HAL again and they said they are redoing the Prinsendam itinerary from the beginning of November through the holiday cruise on December 22, 2006. But they claim they still don't know what it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venicecruiser Posted July 8, 2005 #33 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I wonder why??? Claudia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugnessie Posted July 8, 2005 #34 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Well, I hope they offer the Orinoco river Cruise again. We went on it on the Rotterdam in 2003, and absolutely loved the trip. We booked the 2006 several months ago when we received the 2006 cruise planner, however, alas, they have cancelled our booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lka1012 Posted July 8, 2005 #35 Share Posted July 8, 2005 A Mystery Cruise. I wonder what that would be like. All they tell you is what area (i.e., Carribean) and for how long. You get on the ship and it sails. You find out what port you will be in when you arrive. Anyone up for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue whale Posted July 12, 2005 #36 Share Posted July 12, 2005 We are booked on the Prinsendam from Oct 17 06 to Dec 2—down the west coast of Africa and then across the South Atlantic to Brazil and then to Lauderdale for 46 nights. I received a notice yesterday from our TA advertrising that cruise—also a notice of cruises in January through April of 07 on Prinsendam. That seems to suggest that HAL is not going to sell Prinsendam, but of course, if someone offers a good price????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doxiemom Posted July 13, 2005 #37 Share Posted July 13, 2005 While on a recent Radisson Panama Canal cruise, we were told by a travel agent from BC, Canada that HAL was unloading the Prinsendam in the near future. We have already been on 2 cruises on this ship and will do our third in August, 2005. We're hoping that HAL will not sell The Prinsendam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wander Posted July 13, 2005 #38 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Well, things can always change, but the Prisendam is currently scheduled for two major cruises in 2007. A 66 day cruise starting in January, followed by a 56 day cruise. World Cruise - its scheduled to go back to the Amsterdam due to being able to sell more cabins than the Prisendam allows.

vgottlieb Posted July 27, 2005 #39 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Does anybody know the schedule for the Prinsendam for Dec 6, 2006? I am booked on it and people have said it is cancelled. I have not been cancelled yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAKcruiser Posted July 28, 2005 Author #40 Share Posted July 28, 2005 The latest I heard from a HAL rep was that the Prinsendam would be doing a 10 day Caribbean itinerary on 12/2/06 but there was no pricing available yet. She said the schedule was Ft. Lauderdale, Grand Turk, San Juan, Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Barts, St. Thomas and HMC. Then it would drydock until the holiday cruise.

MortgageChick Posted July 28, 2005 #41 Share Posted July 28, 2005 The 2003 Orinoco Cruise on the Rotterdam stands out in my mind not because I took it, but because I could not take HAl up on the offer of 649 plus port when it was emailed to me. We did a 15 night Amazon in Feb that year and a Can/NE on the Rotterdam in June of 2003. You have to work sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trustee55 Posted July 29, 2005 #42 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Hi Penny! Have you booked yet another cruise? Write and tell me all about it! We were looking at the Oceania line a few days ago....there are some great specials out there. Hope you are all moved into your new home and are concentrating on all of your cruises.
