retafcruiser Posted November 9, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Curious that there are no charters or groups on Maasdam.:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeniEncinitas Posted November 9, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Just a question? Did the Massdam already get updated with dry dock? If so when was it? Curious since we will be on her 2/2018 28 day Inca South America. Thanks! Denise:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise:) From an older update of October 2015 - Maasdam was noted having a dry dock in January 2016 (based on info from Copper). Hope this helps.

Liz54 Posted November 9, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Does anyone know if there is any way of knowing the size of group on a cruise? Will HAL tell me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJcruzer Posted November 9, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Does anyone know if there is any way of knowing the size of group on a cruise? Will HAL tell me? you could go to the group's website, or organizer, and either email or phone them... I have done so a few times in the past.

Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted November 9, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Thank you for taking the time to compile this information. I always hold my breath when I click on these threads. So far, my cruise looks OK. Whew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bUU Posted November 28, 2016 #13 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hmmm... I was led to believe (on other websites) that Nieuw Amsterdam was heading into dry dock in early November 2017 for a number of updates including suite upgrades (which I was going to ask some questions about). Is this list just those matters for which there has been public announcements from Holland America (and that is why the dry dock is not listed), or is the information I read on the other website best treated as suspect?

Is this list just those matters for which there has been public announcements from Holland America (and that is why the dry dock is not listed), or is the information I read on the other website best treated as suspect? dry docks are the hardest ones to research, and I usually rely on Copper to post his information to incoporate into my list. Just because my list does not mention the N.A. does not mean there is no dry dock scheduled. Please treat my dry dock portion as "incomplete" regarding info. Can you tell me the site you use to look up dry docks and perhaps I can use that as reference in the future.
