Review for a Hawaii Cruise on Volendam
Not so happy cruiser
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
We selected this cruise because of the itinerary and wanted to see the South Pacific!
Three ports visited on a Sunday! NOTHING OPEN! Except a McDonalds in one port. Papeete was a two day stop and was closed for a national holiday Veterans Day. The excitement was watching the re-provisioning of the ship. Another port and a canceled port we cruised around the destination and looked at it from ...

Selected this cruise to celebrate my wife's retirement. She wanted to sail to/through French Polynesia. First HA cruise. Despite the warnings about HA appealing to an older demographic (average age is 70), that has not been a problem at all. But after many cruises on Princess & Celebrity, the level of service particularly in the restaurant has been disappointing. The menu descriptions bear no ...

Most of our cruises have been 21 to 28 days but this was a 56 day adventure in the South Pacific.
The itinerary was great although a couple of ports missed due to weather and the laid back South Pacific lifestyle!
The crew so friendly, hard working, accommodating and caring. . Cruise director was outstanding as was the captain . After 56 days we were one big happy family.
It is an older ...

The 2016 Volendam Indonesia Eclipse Cruise March (1 to March 17) from Singapore deviated from the normal route in order to detour into the Makassar Straits to view the Total Eclipse of the sun. Over half of passengers on this cruise were eclipse chasers that were more than happy with the excellent viewing conditions on eclipse day March 9th.
With over 800 eclipse enthusiasts onboard, the ...

We are 4 star Mariners so have been on many Holland America cruises on many of their ships. We just completed a 45 day back to back thru Asia. . Unfortunately we have to rate the Volendam as only a 3 to 4 star . This is not because of the service which was excellent .
The main problem is the condition of the ship . We had numerous problems with the plumbing in our bathroom . Our toilet would ...

WE are 4 star Mariners and absolutely loved sailing on this cruise and ship! Was it perfect? Of course not, but I absolutely loved the ports that we were in. Most of the tours we took were private tours, but we did take some HAL tours. Fortunately. the HAL tours we took ended up being broken into small groups at some points. For Borobadur, we left in large buses, but we went on an antique ...

We sailed back to back on the solar eclipse Indonesia cruise and then the Thailand, Vietnam to Hong Kong cruise (31 days) . We are 4 star mariners with HAL so We have sailed with them many times. We have sailed on every class of ship except the Prinsdendam, which we know is too old and small for us. This was our first sailing on the Volendam and it will be our last on this size ship! We were ...

We are 4 star Mariners which means- among other things- we have sailed on a variety of Holland America ships. As always the staff and crew were outstanding. Our cabin steward was one of the best we have had. We were always greeted with a smile and hello everywhere on the ship. The itinerary focused on Indonesian ports and being in prime viewing space for a total solar eclipse. The captain made ...

Although we have been on many cruises with other cruise lines, this was only our second on a Holland America ship. So mostly we are comparing the Volendam to the Zaandam. We always pick cruises by itinerary rather than any particular cruise line. We selected this cruise because it called in at 7 ports in Indonesia rather than wanting to see the Solar Eclipse. However many of the passengers on the ...

We loved our 30-day, back to back cruise from Singapore and the Far East and Indonesia, including the solar eclipse.
The ship is comfortable and all the staff were wonderful. The itinerary was well planned, with just enough down time for us to recover from the extraordinary excursions.
We noted that the ship excursions were far less crowded and were efficiently manned and coordinated, ...
