San Diego Port

[mcrcruiser]

Well it seems that HSL is going to take Koningsdam through the Panama Canal  & replace her with Nieuw Amsterdam . 

 

 Does any one know if we will ever get back a Pinnacal Class ship in San Diego port ?

🌺Aloha!

You know Nieuw Amsterdam will be doing Hawaii/Tahiti 2/2026. I wondered

the same thing.

You have asked this several times. We have told you Konningdam will be returning to the West Coast...the sailing date is April 10th 2026...its in the HAL schedule on the website.

and Eurodam, ZAANDAM, Nieuw Amsterdam will be our ships 2025-2026. Did see 1 cruise also with Zuiderdam 2026

Denise that is what we saw as well . we think it is strange to take Koningsdam away since they always filled up the ship here . Perhaps HAL will bring  back one of the Pinnacle class to SD in 2027 after the Alaska season  which seems logical but we can't be sure unless HAL announces that as fact

Bruce yes we know that Koningsdam was going through the canal  . However ,what we do not know will HAL ise Nieuw Amsterdam as a constant replacement for Koningsdam or will we ever see a Pinnacle class once again in San Diego ?  We are sailing Hawaii on Nieuw Amsterdam on Jan 2026 . We are sailing Hawaii on Koningsdam in 2025

Here is the previous thread on the same topic.  No one can provide additional information until the remainder of the 2026 cruise schedule is released.

As has been mentioned, KDam is going to the Caribbean for a drydock, and the winter Caribbean season. There is no evidence it is being permanently removed, or that some other Pinnacle class ship wouldn't be assigned here.

 

I don't have any sales figures on how full the ship sails. Does anyone?
