hanalei_princess Posted March 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 30, 2023 A friend trying to get on HAL Norse Legends May 20 said her Waitlist cancelled due to waitlist being closed out?! Aren't we like 50+ days from sailing?🤯 What's even weirder ... tried to make a waitlist reservation myself today and they were going to allow me to.

Almost every day I read about some similar strange things that seem to happen with the Holland America online site. I booked this cruise a few months ago. Yes, 51 days.

Or did they just Wait List? There was a time HAL allowed to Wait List with no money but that is no longer. They may have allowed it on hold for a while but then canceled due to no money being deposited. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanalei_princess Posted March 30, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Paid in full like $4,000 which I thought was odd because how do they know what category they're paying for if they're waitlisted. My point is there's no way they close a wait list 50 days out from the cruise correct somebody's just not telling me the right information. I suspect the travel agent got a match and didn't respond and the waitlist was canceled because of no response to the match🤯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course this was during the start up in 2021 and things were really a mess. But now not as likely but could happen.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanalei_princess Posted April 17, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted April 17, 2023 So after being told we were close to clearing waitlist, now being told grossly overbooked? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted April 17, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I just checked the HAL site - sold out. Pretty much all of them are. It’s past final payment so I suspect there is little chance of many cancellations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
