Our cruise on NA is scheduled for January 4 so we are watching all this closely. Did running on just one effect the itinerary, changes to ports and times in ports? Just curious. ............................... Yes, Oosterdam could not make her usual transit speed during that 2006/2007 season which resulted in adjusted (less) times in, as I recall, Puerto Vallarta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Jetway-like" passenger gangway is not connected which is kinda strange if they're going to disembark pax however, you can just see the A-Deck crew gangway above the first fuel truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at other HAL ships on that page (Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam and even the 12/21 NA), both fields say TBD for all of them. So I don't think we should rely on that page to figure out where it's going next (if anywhere) . It appears that there is another ship arriving at terminal 21 tomorrow night (JAUME II) so they will need to be gone by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I'm thinking isn't looking good for this Saturday's sailing unless it's something they can do quickly. I'm assuming they can get to Freeport by tomorrow morning even at reduced speed.

Rare rafinmd Posted December 16, 2019 #165 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I suspect it's also POSSIBLE that they could take an extra day or 2 if repairs happen and do a 5 or 6 day cruise on a repaired ship. We should know in just under 3 hours. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The distance from Port Everglades to Freeport is under 90 nautical miles. NADM should easily make the facilities at Freeport by tomorrow morning, even at a drastically reduced speed.

I worked 2 jobs and saved for over a year to be able to go on this vacation with my 14 year old daughter. I don't have the means to book another trip for next week if it's cancelled... In the event of a cancellation, we will be home with no holiday 😞 I know that there are 2000 people anxiously awaiting to hear what the decision will be tomorrow. I am sure that I am not the only one that won't have a back up plan that involves a vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if HAL cancels the sailing, you will get a refund of your cruise fare. So if you have a credit card you could book something else in the Fort Lauderdale area and use the refund from HAL to pay off the new/different vacation charge on your credit card.... if your personal circumstances permit that.

NavArch64 Posted December 16, 2019 #173 Share Posted December 16, 2019 If the repairs can be done in four days in the shipyard in Freeport, she could be back in Port Everglades by Saturday morning for her next regularly scheduled departure. I would be interested in the technical nature of the repairs if anyone should find out such information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
