Ryndam Voyage Cancelled

(BSaad107) asked:

When are the Olympics? I remember reading that cruise ships were going to
be used for hotels in Greece.

Eleven ships, as I recall. The Olympics start August 13th.

Seven or eight ships at once? They have a lot of ships marked full at that
time.

Perhaps the Ryndam was chartered once again as it was last spring by a
bunch of "rich" poker players.

Not this time, AFAIK. Drydock.

.After hearing the awful news from my
travel agent this morning ( Cancellaton), I immediately asked her to
try once again for a mini-suite on the Ryndam for the "Riviera" sailing
on Oct. 20th. .... It appeared there are now mini-suites available.
Weird!! ...Plus, I had no trouble getting an early seating in the dining
room.

Not weird. Normal. Cabins are available and then they're not and then they
are.
When the cabins become available again, the dinner sitting that was chosen by
the people who booked and later cancelled becomes available, too.

Apples and oranges. Sailings marked sold (and which may or may not be fully
sold, but likely aren't, unless they are chartered) are not the same as the one
sailing which was cancelled. That's the October 10th 10-day sailing of the
Ryndam. The Ryndam is going into drydock then.

Clear now? :-)

It must be if you say it is, even though there isn't a chance all the other
October sailings marked sold out as this one is (not drydock) on their
website are actually sold out.

It's still weird, no matter what you say, that so many sailings for the same
very small timeframe are not available for booking.

Why would they be putting the ship in drydock at this particular time?
...It was only a week ago I received a booklet from HAL that offered a
deal on this "Sea of Cortez" cruise. ...Jon

Is that the 32-page booklet with a hammock on the front of it (and something
Ray will like on the back) and entitled "Close-to-Home Cruises 2004"? The one
that touts the 10-category upgrades?

If so, I received and date-stamped ours on April 3rd. It was sent out
presorted standard mail who-knows-when. Can you imagine when the booklet was
sent to the printers?

Drydock, or chartered by World Poker Tour?
