mozart1999 Posted August 13, 2008 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I have 2 weeks trying to book a cruise to Alaska on september, and there is no availability. How can this be ? During July, when I look for prices there were a lot of cabins and suddenly in august NONE. In HAL´s web page it says that I need to call them ..... is this the only way, because I look in all the TA online pages and none is showing availability. Thank You for any idea about what is happening and what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can give HAL a call, but my guess, you will be put on a wait list. Good luck, Nita ps just checked my system, it does appear they are sold out for the month. The only other answer could be a sytem glitch, but I checked HAL for other sailings and it seemed to be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisebum50 Posted August 13, 2008 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2008 We tried to book a cabin for friends last Wednesday on the 20th sailing of the Oosterdam. I call HAL and was told they were sold out. On Saturday we were looking on the website and found there were 17 cabins available. We called our friends but weren't able to get in touch with them until this morning, and once again, the website shows no cabins. My guess is they are working on guarantees/upgrades so I would keep checking. That is what our friends are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted August 13, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2008 This is almost the middle of August. Those who wanted to do an Alaskan cruise in Spetember -- the prices are much better than the other months as it is the end of the season -- book them as quickly as possible. I am not surprised that the she ships are sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinkg Posted August 13, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I'm on the 9/5 sailing of the Amsterdam and have been keeping a close eye on the ship since May. HAL had two big sales back in June (when we pulled the trigger). Prior to that there was a lot of availability and after the sales, the availability was almost nil. After a few weeks it was sold out.
