Recommended Posts

My PCC a called me a few minutes ago. The Dec cruise that I want on the Koningsdam is now showing on her computer although she can't actually book it yet. However, she said that means that at anytime it will be released for her to book so she wanted me to be aware. She said her next call will me to book it for me!! Looks like it may be soon! :)

My wonderful PCC called me this afternoon to tell me that she will be able to book the Caribbean Dec '16 on the Koningsdam for me first thing tomorrow morning!! She knows the itenirary that I want, was able to read it off and verify for me. So.....the wait for fall/winter schedules is almost over. :)

We've been waiting a long time for this! Hope it is tomorrow.

 

Also hope the pricing is good. Was your PCC able to give you the pricing? I booked Harmony of the Seas at a fantastic price for 1/17 while waiting for HAL to come out with their bookings on Koningsdam. I will cancel Harmony if HAL's price for the new ship is not outrageous.

 

I'll be looking first thing tomorrow morning.

 

Thanks for the heads up!

I just called the toll free # at HAL and inquired if booking was open for Koningsdam/Caribbean and she said no but soon. She could not give me any pricing info.

 

I sent an email to my PCC (whom I have never used but was assigned a couple of years ago). I will post when I hear back from her.

My spirits lifted as I read this thread. Went to HAL website and found that the S. American/Antarctic cruises are scheduled to November 2016. :mad:

 

I am waiting for December 2016. Come on HAL...one more month...please!

Sorry, haven't made it home yet and that's where my PCC usually contacts me

Yes, she gave all pricing. We are going NS and she had the breakdown of each category. I'll keep my fingers crossed and pass on anymore info after I get home. I know it's not the web yet but seems like fall Alaska was like that. People on here posted that they had booked through TA or PCC but took another day or so before it was loaded on the website. Hopefully we will be able to see ALL iteneraries soon!

We aren't interested in the Koningsdam so guess we will have to wait even longer for the other Caribbean itineraries.

 

The new cruises are in Polar Online and will likely hit the web in a day or two.

 

I checked while I was in there for March 2017 to see what ships show up and at this time it's only Koningsdam, so I suspect you are correct on a longer wait for other ships.

Holiday cruises are usually released in a special grouping that is specifically just those holiday sailings so yeah, right now those are the exceptions.

 

I see the 14DEC16 9-day E. Carib and then the next one showing is 08JAN17 7-day E. Carib.
