Thank you for the updates.

JMO -- but I think the dry dock for the Prinsendam should be cancelled since she is sold. Waste of money to do a dry dock for 6 months of sailing for HAL.

HAL has scheduled a 6 day cruise for the PRISENDAM DEC 15,2018

Thanks for the info, I didn't spot that! Makes her drydock now the same time scale as Veendam -8 days!

[Northcliffe12]

A further update in my attempts to get details of the Veendam dry dock work - been given the run around by HAL - their customer services said they don’t know and referred me to ship services - gave me a USA phone number even though I live in Australia. Managed to get an email address but ship services told me they have no idea and further even the ship team don’t know until after the dry dock! I find this incredible that the ship staff wouldn’t even be told at some point as they would need to prepare for the changes. I then went back to customer service who said “ship services have a file note to let you know”! Not sure what use that is when ship services say they aren’t told. Clearly HAL just don’t want anyone to know what they are doing.

Yes there will be a few changes due to Prinsendam leaving and HAL repositioning ships. Hopefully by next update everything will have settled down again.
