Rare VMax1700 Posted November 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2023 With apologies for the delay, but here is the latest update to the Dry Docks, Charters & Groups information. There has been some activity since the July update, so check your dates! There are a few gaps in sailing schedules so I have included most of them as 'Possible Charter' or 'No Itineray Published' until more information can be found. For any errors, I apologise in advance! As usual, if you can provide any information on upcoming Dry Docks, Charters or Groups, then please post to this thread and I will update the information in the next file.

You'll not only have opportunities to hear from our guest speakers on stage, but also mingle with them and your fellow Mark Steyn Club cruisers. The week features exclusive shows, receptions, dinners, and informal get-togethers. Not my kind of cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igar39 Posted November 14, 2023 #15 Share Posted November 14, 2023 The drydock is two weeks for the Nieuw Amsterdam in December. Anyone know what all is planned? Loved the ship last December. Hope they do not change it too much, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked HAL website and it is available for public booking. When I came across the post in Twitter, I immediately checked Kazu's list, and saw that you were booked for that cruise, @seagarsmoker. I believe that if HAL chooses to take charter bookings, (or even groups), they should advise those who are already booked. I know that personally, I would NEVER go on that cruise, even if it was only a group booking, and would cancel. However, that's just me and my political leanings. If it's a full charter, well, that's a different story, and between you and HAL. I have no idea how that will work for you. L. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that HAL should let us know ASAP if they are chartering the entire ship. That being said, we have been on cruises before with group bookings and never knew the group was onboard. No one besides myself has posted in Meet n Greet thread, so I am guessing HAL has quite a few cabins to sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlorenceItaly Posted November 14, 2023 #19 Share Posted November 14, 2023 The following phrase leads to me believe it is not a full charter: Remember you must book the Rebel News Western Caribbean Cruise Package through The Cruise & Vacation Authority to participate in these exclusive events! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingrob21 Posted November 15, 2023 #23 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Thank you for posting - because of this info I've got plenty of time to change to another voyage to avoid a group. Certain ones do tend to monopolize the crows nest and other venues from time to time which is inconvenient at best, quite frustrating at worst.
