cat shepard Posted March 16, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Thank you for what must have been a challenging report to pull together, Rich! A good time to practice acting happy, and boy if ever FOIA was important, it is now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howndder Posted March 16, 2020 #9 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Good morning, just curious. If ports in Canada are closed till July1st, how can the Zaandam sail in April from Ft. Lauderdale to Montreal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that many people at HAL headquarters are trying to get new schedules put together so that the ships can be used. Just as the restrictions went up quickly, they can come down just as quickly depending on the spread of the virus. I will try to update as the information becomes available. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's this uncertainty that's causing problems for those of us with cruises booked from Canadian ports in May and June; HAL's guidance for customers doesn't stretch that far yet, but Canada hasn't given any indication that their freeze on ships visiting their ports is likely to be revisited before the end of June. Will be grateful for any updates you can post as and when you are able. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeniEncinitas Posted March 16, 2020 #13 Share Posted March 16, 2020 GOOD MORNING RICH AND EVERYONE ! Hey I am happy!

As I said my 2 month cruise vacation in 4 days ( never again) next trip will be wonderful for all of us Denise😊 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect there to be more severe measures taken but I’m just guessing. I’ll post if there is anything relevant to cruisers. I highly doubt the port openings will be revisited unless there is a dramatic change and certainty that the virus is not a threat. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeniEncinitas Posted March 16, 2020 #19 Share Posted March 16, 2020 To answer a question. As of yesterday when we were still on the Rotterdam The Captain said as soon as everyone is off the crew will go about a regular day and as per requested from corporate they will sail from PV to outside waters . Wait and hold is what was said. He said Oosterdam is in the same situation. Denise😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise😊 Now that it's over, I will admit that I came just this close to booking a last minute deal on that Panama Canal cruise because I was sad about missing Japan. Seemed like why not -- just enjoy the ship, even if ports were missed. I looked at it late at night and thought better to sleep on it and if there was still a NS available in the morning, I'd book it. But they were gone by morning! Who knew that they would completely halt the whole cruise!! Everything is just so wild right now! Glad you're back home okay, Denise, and thinking of all those World Cruise passengers still getting things sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be glad your home safe!! We are definitely going again! Have a cruise on Koningsdam in January still! ( Hope our HAL and all cruise lines will be up and running) The Daily is so awesome that Rich thought of this!!! We still can group here and talk as well as getting info on HAL! Thank you Rich.

Rare kazu Posted March 16, 2020 #23 Share Posted March 16, 2020 @sail7seas you need to read the fleet report to get it. From Rich’s fleet report at the top in bold: today is Act Happy Day and Freedom of Information Day and, a number of us are not happy but acting happy with the cancellation of our cruises and the covid19 crisis. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughingarcher Posted March 16, 2020 #24 Share Posted March 16, 2020 My 80-something parents are scheduled on Eurodam's Hawaii Circle Cruise departing Seattle on April 15 (one day outside the "pause.") Rich's Daily shows this cruise as docking in Ensenada, Mexico, which is (was) not on their itinerary. We've heard nothing from Holland America. Rich, do you know, did they switch over to Ensenada because of the Canadian ban (Eurodam was supposed to go to Victoria B.C. originally)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich, do you know, did they switch over to Ensenada because of the Canadian ban (Eurodam was supposed to go to Victoria B.C. originally)? I don't know the why of the switch, but Eurodam's position is just off Ensenada so she should make port there but it may just be a technical stop to satisfy the PVSA. According to HAL's Facebook page post for discharging passengers - Quote Eurodam: March 18 in San Diego, California, as scheduled.
