Rare VMax1700 Posted March 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Here is my first attempt at updating CJcruiser's wonderfully informative thread. I have updated with all the information I can find (including the first group, I think, to be on Nieuw Statendam!) Please let me know any errors or problems and also feed me with information. Let's think of it as the MDR (where I get the info served up to me) rather than the Lido (where I have to get the info myself!! ;p DRY DOCKS Amsterdam : 28 April 2018 - 10 May 2018 : dry dock : Freeport, Bahamas Eurodam : 08 April 2018 -17 April 2018 : dry dock, Freeport, Bahamas Koningsdam : 02 – 09 December 2018: First dry dock,Freeport, Bahamas Maasdam: 31 Aug 2018 – 09 Sept 2018 : dry dock, Freeport, Bahamas Oosterdam : 20 March 2018 – 02 April 2018 : dry dock, Freeport, Bahamas Prinsendam : 07 - 20 December 2018 : dry dock, Freeport, Bahamas Zaandam : 02 April 2018 – 13 April 2018 : dry dock, Freeport, Bahamas CHARTERS (i.e. full ship charters) Amsterdam : 01 July 2018 – 08 July 2018 : Alaska : Olivia Charter??

shipfriend_max Posted March 28, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2018 DRY DOCKS [...] Koningsdam : 02 – 09 December 2018: First dry dock,Freeport, Bahamas Oosterdam : 20 March 2018 – 02 April 2018 : dry dock, Freeport, Bahamas Any official information what will be done to Oosterdam in dry dock? Will she also get the EXC in the Crows Nest, which was added to N. Amsterdam, Westerdam and Zuiderdam? I browsed her deckplans on the HAL page and did not see it there. Further, what will be done to Koningsdam in a rather short dry dock period? Will she get the EXC as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding Oosterdam, the quote I link below, dated February 27th of this year, is from "Copper 10-8" who works on the HAL ships: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=55407041&postcount=8 I can't answer your question about Koningsdam's dry dock, sorry. VMax1700, thank you so much for your very generous offer of time and effort in order to take over the "dry dock, charter, and large group" threads from CJCruzer, who did a phenomenal job for a very long time.

Krazy Kruizers Posted March 28, 2018 #12 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Thank you for taking on this big project. It is so helpful to know charters, dry docks, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted March 28, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Many thanks for continuing on Carol's excellent work. It's always helpful to us picking [or not picking] cruise dates and/or ships. I already found out I have a group on my latest booking - if they are anywhere near the size that was on my last one [same booking organization] they won't bother me at all. But I am forewarned and that's what makes this thread so appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger_77 Posted March 28, 2018 #15 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Thanks for taking on this big job - it certainly helps those of us who are interested in booking a cruise, to be able to find out if there are groups, charters or dry docks involved when we wish to cruise. Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Himself Posted March 28, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I am sad that the crows nest will be redone and the bar taken out of the Crows Nest . Not a good move, in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
