Review for a Mexican Riviera Cruise on Volendam

First Time Cruiser • Age 20s
I was looking for a CA based cruise to Mexico during the holidays. I chose this one, because it was 12 days with 8 ports, compared to 3 ports on a 7 day cruise. Also, this one was not so child friendly, there were less than 150 people under 18 on board, and most were teens. We got a really good deal on an oceanview room on lower promendade. I was pretty happy with it. Food not so good. But ...

Back to Back this and Dec. 22. Historical Mexican itinerary. Unfortunately had to miss Rosalina due to winds. A great deal of tendering ports which for many, would be the draw back. As usual great food, and staff exceptional. The combo mix bar for trivia and football days does not work well together. Trivia very well attended. Ship definitely showing its age in many places, but still is ...

Review for a Hawaii Cruise on Volendam
Not so happy cruiser

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 ...

We chose this cruise because it ended at our home port of Vancouver BC .
It was also our first cruise with the Holland America line.
Prior to boarding we had to sit on rows of chairs the were so close together that gave us a feeling of clostaphobia.
Upon embarking we were informed that our suites had not been made available due to cleaning etc, so we had to find a spot to sit untill ...

Bucket list and a .uch needed break! Bonus was returning to Vancouver. We were upgraded from a window G to a larger window cabin 25**. No complaints. Our cabin stewards were terrific and always attended to everything. We both felt at home and after 21 days we hadn't grown tired of the pampering! The Ocean Band was our go to after dinner. And the food! Fabulous! Ate in the dining room, and 2x ...

Get out of the continued long winter in Wyoming. The captain was amazing on communication and informational. Hedro in the Pinnacle was amazing as well. We enjoy the pool, and the DiveIn dining. The Pinnacle Grill is the gem of dining as usual if you enjoy steak and seafood, lamb chops, caviar, carpacio, shrimp cocktail. The surcharge is minimal and very well worth on the items (only a couple) to ...

The Cruisers: we are a retired professional couple around age 70, having cruised for more than 30 years on Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Viking, and Princess (Elite status). We felt we were aging out of Princess and thought this would be a good time to try HAL. We sailed on a 14 day Caribbean cruise (10 ports)on the Volendam 3/18/23 to 4/1/23.
The Ship: the Volendam is an older ship that was ...

This trip was all about the 33 ports and Antarctica. HAL is recovering from COVID like everyone but they seem to expect pre COVID world to return. Nice if incompetent staff. Many things done superbly and just as many SNAFU'S. 5 star passengers who waited many days with no hot water, heat or flushing toilet. I was lucky as cabin worked well throughout the journey. Overpriced spa, who pays $245 for ...
