March 2024 Update HAL Dry Docks, Charters & Groups Onboard

Tupper10, the way I understood her it was the lower dining room for the early seating.  Fixed seating for the upper dining room was open for reservations.  I have a call into my PCC, but they don't or won't usually tell you what group it is.

KAKcruiser, I'm going to withhold final payment until more information becomes available.  If there is a large group, I'll look for another date.  The website is so screwed up it is hard to find 2026 itineraries.

Great info.  Been on a few cruises with large groups and nice to know.  

 

Notice Rotterdam has not had a dry dock.  Any sense of when a new ship gets some updating in general as I am sure there are a number of issues that drive dry dock decisions/timeframes..

Can you post to let me know since we would cancel this cruise if a large group was on board - we had that once on a Celebrity cruise and I do not want to do that again.
