Volendam Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We chose this cruise because of our wish to see the inside passage and Alaska. It had reasonably good reviews but we had seen that previous passengers had commented about the constant "sales pitch".
Embarkation went well but we were given information about Norovirus and guidance about how to avoid it. The previous cruise had resulted in an undisclosed number of passengers being affected and the ship had been cleaned to prevent further infection. At all entry points and entry to restaurants there were sanitizers and staff encouraging their use.
This was our first cruise and first impressions were of a very smart and well presented ship; food in the Lido was fresh and plentiful and we felt optimistic about the trip.
Cabin Review
Large Ocean-View Stateroom
The cabin was spacious and very comfortable. The beds can be configured to be a double or twins; however as a double the light switches are behind the pillows and when you move, the lights go on or off!
There is plenty of storage space and lots of hangers for clothes!
Port Reviews
Juneau
Worth independently taking a trip on the cable car and viewing the local sights. The museum is well worth a visit.
Glacier Bay
Awesome to see and to hear the ice breaking!
Ketchikan
Missed Ketchikan due to norovirus - it looked very pretty!
