Krazy Kruizers Posted February 8, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2006 A couple of the other cruise lines offer once a year a Muder Mystery Cruise. Would you like to see HAL offer one? If so, would you participate in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyher Posted February 8, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I would love it! I am a big murder mystery fan, so that would be a lot of fun. I have never been on one, but I hear that those murder mystery dinner cruises are supposed to be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhannah Posted February 8, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 8, 2006 We have a murder mystery dinner theater here, and it's very popular. I'm sure it would be fun on a cruise, too. Sort of like "Murder on the Orient Express" but in slo-mo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapTown Jim Posted February 8, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I think that would be really cool! Depends on where, when and how long though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bookish Angel Posted February 8, 2006 #7 Share Posted February 8, 2006 The actors were nice and some folks seemed to think it was great, however, my 20 year-old daughter and I thought it was dated in terms of jokes, clues, etc. That combined with the laughable ease of figuring out the "whodunit" (my daughter figured it out within about 30 minutes of the FIRST day) well, let's just say that while I am glad I tried it, I'd definitely pass on a second one. Entertainment is a very subjective medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanandjoe Posted February 8, 2006 #8 Share Posted February 8, 2006 We would love it if our son Jeff, who arranges mystery dinners, could arrange a mystery cruise on HAL. We wonder whom he should contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJPacer Posted February 9, 2006 #9 Share Posted February 9, 2006 We are sailing March 23 on the Volendam. I read there will be a Murder Mystery group on our cruise. I don't know how many are in the group. I hope they allow "others" to join in the fun. I would like to particiapate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spcl4cs_gal Posted February 9, 2006 #10 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Would love to be on one of these but it would all depend on when during the year it would be held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted February 9, 2006 Author #14 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Sorry about the mis-spelling of the word yesterday. Things have not been going well here.

Krazy Kruizers Posted February 9, 2006 Author #15 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Oh - and - yes - we would also love to do that kind of cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Copper10-8 Posted February 9, 2006 #16 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Been to one of those with a group of friends on land in a restaurant in Costa Mesa and we had a lot of fun (they have them on a train out here also). I would definitely like to see that on a ship:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsred Posted February 9, 2006 #17 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Absolutely! We've looked at the ones on the other lines...but would rather to stay with HAL if they would do one. Hopefully someone is reading this and taking notes ;) ~e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzingqueen Posted March 3, 2006 #18 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I don't know how successful it was but the Oosterdam had "Murder on the High Seas", a murder mystery cruise Jan 14-21, 2006. It was hosted by or produced by Keith O'Leary and Margo Morrison who are creators and producers of "Murder Mystery Weekend". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhannah Posted March 3, 2006 #19 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I wonder how it was promoted? I never heard about it. Did any of you know about this one in advance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill S Posted March 3, 2006 #20 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Me too! I think it would be a lot of fun! HAL, are you reading this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAAAmerican Posted March 3, 2006 #21 Share Posted March 3, 2006 What a WOnderful American idea. Increases in revenues would occur as well the missing link what Carnival Corp has been looking for now... then Holland American would be brought back even as the Preception of a StoryBook and Mystery line... Disney did it before the Management thats there now... Talk about having a competitive edge....:eek: profits...

kryos Posted March 3, 2006 #22 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Me too! I think it would be a lot of fun! HAL, are you reading this??? I could be wrong, but I think you're barking up the wrong tree trying to get HAL's attention for this concept. HAL would only do "themes" with organizations that they have long-range partnerships with ... i.e., New York Times, Food & Wine Magazine, various musical-related themes (Jazz, etc.). To have a theme cruise like a murder mystery one, you have to approach an organization that puts these types of events on, and convince them that you could guarantee a certain number of sold cabins if they would do one on your favorite HAL ship. HAL will gladly host just about any theme ... as long as it means sold cabins ... but they are probably not about to get involved in producing the event and having to develop the necessary specialized expertise to make the event one that is up to HAL's quality standards. Better to let another group do the event ... a group that has the necessary know-how to do it right. Then both that organization and HAL look good, while both focusing on what they do best ... the organization producing the murder mystery theme and HAL offering an elegant cruise experience.

Krazy Kruizers Posted March 3, 2006 Author #23 Share Posted March 3, 2006 So if the Oosterdam had a Nurder Mystery Cruise in January, I wonder why none of us heard about it? And when those cruisers came back, no one even mentioned anything about it on these boards? HAL should have advertised it - we would have loved to go on that cruise.

And when those cruisers came back, no one even mentioned anything about it on these boards? HAL should have advertised it - we would have loved to go on that cruise. It was probably not sponsored by HAL ... but rather by an outside TA who just used the HAL ship to run the cruise. It seems like the big provider of these cruises are primarily using RCCL ships these days, though ... so I don't know who sponsored the one you are referring to. The way I find theme cruises is to just google the topic and add the word cruise. You should come up with something if it exists. I came up with a slew of them run by this one organization ... on RCCL, and then another run by a separate organization on Carnival. I don't see anything listed for HAL, though ... but then maybe I'm missing it. It was a very brief search. Blue skies ... --rita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted March 3, 2006 Author #25 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I'm still surprised that a cc'er wasn't on that cruise - at least it seems like no one from here was on that cruise. Would have been nice to hear what they thought of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
