heavenly Posted September 9, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I just had lunch with our HAL Business Develpment Manager (Sales Rep) and he had some news for me... The ms Oosterdam will head into dry dock as planned BUT she will not continue on to South America after her European tour, she will return to the San Diego for her 7 day Mexican Riviera sailings! :D :D :D Ryndam will be pulled from the Mexico market but Oosterdam will return, I can live with that!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted September 9, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Not Surprising -- South American cruises -- getting expensive -- use more fuel - HAL is looking for dollars !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic The Parrot Posted September 9, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Hope they revert back to the old itinerary with the late departure from PV. The plan they have now with 8-5 in every port is pretty boring and lame. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the penquins are always available to dance the dance of happiness. They are camped out right now at Hotel Photobucket. Stop by and see them, they are registered under Happy Dance. Good luck and keep the good news coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HALleluiah Posted September 10, 2008 #17 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Hooray! I'll be going on my first Oostie Mexican Riviera Cruise in December and I was already lamenting the fact that it'd be my first and my last! Now I can look forward to many more!

PathfinderEss Posted September 10, 2008 #18 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I'm really glad for everyone that loves the Oosterdam that she is coming back but I'm sad as I love the Ryndam and those Sea of Cortez cruises. So I'm with Vic The Parrot whats going to happen on that, wineing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm with Vic The Parrot whats going to happen on that, wineing! Melodie, let me see in the next few days if I can find out. I had not heard that the Ryndam was leaving but I just might have had a little birdy tell me about the Oosterdam ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugger :( Same with me. I was hopping to do the Sea of Cortez. :( Great news about the Oosterdamn for those on the West Coast but lousy news about the Ryndam. No way would I fly to the West Coast for a 7 day cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
