Your best bet is to post on your Roll Call which I believe is here:

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2101151

 

You also should probably edit out the info about the tour operator's web site as I believe that's against Cruise Critic's rules to post.

 

Enjoy your cruise!

Nancy - I see you are new to Cruise Critic. You really need to look in the Roll Call section under Holland America - then Zuiderdam and see if there is a Roll Call started for your cruise - this would have other people on your cruise looking to tour. You should then post your notice on the Roll Call.

 

Welcome to Cruise Critic and I hope you enjoy your cruise - we will be in Cartagena in early Feb on the Statendam!

Dora posted this on the roll call for this cruise.

 

BTW, posting a link to the tour operator is OK provided that it is not a travel agency.
