SmokinJoe Posted October 14, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The Westerdam is on it's way to Florida, It is scheduled to sail on Sunday 10/19. Does anyone know when it will get into Ft. Lauderdale, and where it will sail before the 19th. I think it get's into Ft. Lauderdale before the 19th. If anyone knows, I would appreciate your reply. Thanks Joe.

BigGreenFan Posted October 14, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 14, 2008 According to cruisett.com, Westerdam arrives in Fort Lauderdale on 10/16 at 7:00 am and departs on 10/19 at 5 pm. I'd be curious to know what she does in port for all that time?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to know what she does in port for all that time?? cruisett.com will often (maybe usually?) show a ship in one place for several days when it is a charter. For example, look at the Eurodam for OCT 18 to 25, which I know is a charter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted October 14, 2008 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I am also thinking that it is a charter -- I checked everywhere -- could find nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokinJoe Posted October 14, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks for your replies. I really appreciate it. I knew it was arriving before the 19th and I can't see them letting the ship sit there empty for 3 day's. Empty ship makes no $$$$. And I know Ft. Lauderdale is not a "dry dock" and I have not read of any problems with the ship that needs to be repaired. I agree, it is most likely a charter or a 3 day cruise to nowhere like the Eurodam is doing. Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtl513 Posted October 14, 2008 #8 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I thought that is what they called those cruises. Joe No, a "cruise to nowhere" doesn't go to any ports, but just sails in a big "circle" - like the Labor Day cruise of the Eurodam out of NYC. You hear the term a lot more when referring to the gambling day-cruises that just go offshore far enough to open their casino, because major cruise lines rarely do them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Westerdam is chartered by the Sysco Corp. for 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, look at the Eurodam for OCT 18 to 25, which I know is a charter. That's correct. The site uses published schedules which would not include charters.... Tracking charters for 143 ships :eek: would be way too much for a free site. Unless someone has a list they could send to the feedback address on there ?

Hoyaheel Posted October 22, 2008 #15 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Def. Sysco charter and it was open bar--we disembarked on 10/16 and the bartenders were all gearing up for 3 days of a very heavy workload;) (Sysco is one of HAL's vendors, so I'm sure they got a great deal on the charter--what do you think?)
