under discussion??? No specifics yet, but these seem iffy… will update with more information when I have more information… if you have information, please post!
Amsterdam July 27 – Aug 2 rumor of large group
Zaandam May 7-13 – no news yet, but this is the one with the notation “Colonial” – could this be Colonial Life
Insurance?
Zaandam November 24 - December 1 –all I am seeing is still about the second half of a 14-day Hawaii itinerary

Eurodam – January 19 - 26, 2013 – 7-day Inspiration Cruise (Gospel Music Celebration)

Thanks for all the information

 

[Krazy Kruizers]

This list of charters and group cruises seems so much longer than what other cruise lines have.

 

[ShipMaven]

The second week of the July 13, 2012 Amsterdam cruise is also chartered (I don't know the name). As of today, HAL does NOT show a rumored large group on July 27th. I just got off the phone with HAL.

 

[Krazy Kruizers]

We all keep hearing the same thing about the July 20th Amsterdam cruise -- just can't get the name of the group.

Someone will get it soon.

 

[vbmom87]

Any new updates of charters for 2013?

 

[seamom]

I have heard the Eurodam Jan 26th which we're on has a religious group of some sort, a cardiologist's group and a gambling bunch... if that's what made the prices so good I'm fine with that..now if they take the cheaper verandahs and leave me with a terrific upgrade on our guarantee, I'll love them all!

seamon

Hope you do get a great upgrade and HAL doesn't give all the better cabins to the "groups".
