We (2 adults, a teen and a pre-teen) loved this ship and the cruise. There was always something to do for each one of us. Well-stocked library, plenty of reading spaces, games, activities.The food and service was great. The ports and shore excursions were amazing. The train to White Summit from Skagway was the highlight of our shore activities. We had an ocean view stateroom on Dolphin deck and we loved it, a queen size bed for 2, a sofa bed and a bed that came out of the ceiling :) The was spacious and clean. So many closet and drawers and shelves to organize the stuff we had. I was actually nervous about embarkation and disembarkation based on my past experience with other cruises and larger ships but on Volendam they went very smoothly. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Never noticed any issues with language as I saw in other reviews. Overall, we will definitely choose Holland America Line for our next cruises.
Watched the Glacier Bay from the deck.
Did some shopping
We spent 3 day in Vancouver prior to our cruise and loved it.
