Smoky Posted October 14, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Does anyone know why the Veendam just pulled into San Diego. Schedule shows it should be on it's way to Tampa (to arrive on 16th) on a trans canal cruise. The port schedule doesn't show it expected arrival. Has something changed??

Esme Posted October 14, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Veendam went through the Canal on Sunday, so how could it be in San Diego to-day? I see there is a HAL ship on the San Diego web cam, but are you sure it's the Veendam? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoky Posted October 14, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted October 14, 2004 If you use the zoom feature you can see the name and it says Veendam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipcafe Posted October 14, 2004 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Hi There, She is, indeed, the Veendam! She is currently on charter and has just returned from the Hawaiian islands. I would venture to say that that was her first time in Hawaii but I couldn't be 100% sure. To say the least, though, she is on a very unique itinerary.

Smoky Posted October 14, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted October 14, 2004 It is very strange that there are no busses queued up and there is not a soul on deck. Strange itinerary indeed! Panama Canal -Hawaii- San Diego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruzkeen Posted October 14, 2004 #8 Share Posted October 14, 2004 The charter was from Vancouver to Hawaii to San Diego. Friends of mine who had wanted to to the coastal on September 26 had it cancelled due to the fact that it was chartered by a company, whose name I did not get, but they do a lot of group business with HAL. This info was given to my friends in the Bay Area by their TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
