I absolutely HATE that you have to deal with this, as you have enough to do already! I'm wondering, just as I'm sure others are, if they will try to move all of us to another departure. My worklace already knows that I WILL be going - whenever it is. QUACK

Jacquie - my hope and intention is to move everyone to another date, but there are over 20 cabins involved. I'll have to see what is convenient for the majority of the group and, of course, what HAL is offering.

As I already posted, normally a cruise line has an offer in place when it announces that a ship has been chartered. This hit the fan before even TA's could be alerted.

As I also stated previously, dealing with "stuff" at times is also part of our work. A serious TA tackles the bad along with the good.

We all know that for this year's Amsterdam Chartered cruise the Templeton Group had the July 22 - 29 cruise. For the next 7 days -- July 29 - Aug 4 -- the Gaithers were on board with their Inspirations with Bill and Gloria Gaither.

I checked their schedule and so far they have only a Caribbean cruise in February scheduled for 2012.

So still don't know who has the second week of the 2012 cruise or if it will become a 7 day cruise for anyone.

I suspect it'll be several weeks before they even contact our TA extraordinaire.

As I've stated before, moving a group of 20+ cabins is MUCH more difficult than moving a single booking. But I SHALL be doing my best.

It will take awhile.

Calgon - RUMORS will always be rampant, and in plain English, they can louse things up even worse than the charter itself.

I'm sure it wil all work out. We just don't quite know HOW yet! I'm willing to bet Mama Duck is doing a good bit of QUACKING to Holland America right now.
