More may end up beached in Turkey. I may not be a cruise ship, but at this point I wouldn’t mind ending up on a beach in Turkey. 😏 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey, Greece, and perhaps Cyprus. We do not expect cruises to be operating. Even if they are we plan to pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare VMax1700 Posted January 11, 2021 #87 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Just to get back on the original thread track........... Looking at the HAL website over the weekend it appears to have been updated and all the cancelled cruises have been removed. Initial cruises in Europe are now May 2nd for Nieuw Statendam and June 19th for Volendam and Westerdam, but there are no East bound Trans Atlantics listed! Are HAL planning to send the ships to Europe empty, or will they rearrange itineraries to the vessels which are currently in European/UK waters? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandalay1903 Posted January 11, 2021 #89 Share Posted January 11, 2021 In the "FWIW" Department, I logged in the HAL.com and requested cancellation and refunds for the excursions in my cancelled May 2021 Mediterranean cruise on the Westerdam. I cancelled them on Thursday and the refund credits were in my credit card account today (Monday). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalay1903 Posted January 11, 2021 #90 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I re-booked my May 2021 cruise on a September 2022 sailing of the Volendam. I read today in a separate CC thread that that Carnival Corp is now considering selling another four of their "less efficient" cruise ships. Sure hope Volendam isn't one of them... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted January 11, 2021 #91 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Arnold Donald was on CNBC a few minutes ago. He stated that they hope to begin cruising again by the end of this year. In addition, he stated that no decision had been made requiring quests to be vaccinated in order to cruise. https://www.cnbc.com/video/2021/01/11/we-have-robust-pent-up-demand-for-cruises-says-carnival-corp-ceo.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, even if they sail I believe the restrictions will be such that we would opt out. We erroneously believed we would have a robust vaccine rollout not the trickle we are seeing. But it’s not like they had nine months to plan 🙄🙄🙄. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You posted on the OLD Rotterdam heading. That ship got sold and is not running under the HAL name. I saw you opened a new thread under that heading. Here is a link to the first page for the Rotterdam TA Oct 20, 2021. At present it is a 45 page thread. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2757354-rotterdam-ta-oct-20-2021/ Edited January 12, 2021 by rajkr74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare terrydtx Posted January 12, 2021 #98 Share Posted January 12, 2021 This morning Celebrity cancelled all summer 2021 cruises on the Constellation and Edge in Europe. This included our September 6 Greek cruise on the Constellation. We have rebooked a 12 night cruise from Athens on the HAL Westerdam leaving September 24th of this year. Do any of you have any insight as whether this cruise will be cancelled by HAL? We have already had 3 Greek cruises cancelled in 2020 and 2021, one on Viking and two on Celebrity.

We are on that cruise plus through the TA in November. I'm watching for possible itinerary changes and possibly even change of ship, but unless there's just no European season at all, I expect (and hope) this will go. Maybe @AtlantaCruiser72has some insight? Edited January 12, 2021 by Cruising-along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted January 12, 2021 #100 Share Posted January 12, 2021 No one really knows. Best guess on our mid September Black Sea / Greek Isle cruise is it either won’t go or if it does it will be wrapped up so tight with protocols (like ship excursions only to get off the ship) that we won’t go. We have until mid-May to pull the plug with out penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
