This was the third cruise on our holiday from Sydney Australia. Our first cruise and second cruises on our holiday were on Celebrity Solstice to Hawaii firstly then from Hawaii to Vancouver. We have been on Solstice many times including the same repositioning cruise in 2013, and the second cruise in 2013 concluded in Ensenada where we were conveyed by coach to San Diego (broke down 3 times).
Can I say that the Solstice cruises on this occasion were not up to Celebrity standard, I did write a review however, it would appear to have disappeared!
Holland America (HAL) ship Volendam was a very pleasant surprise after the Solstice debacles.
Clean, large, bath, shower, smaller TV, chair, lounge, noisy at night as we under the kitchen. Plenty of room for storage.
Pleasant city to explore
Not a nice place to visit, lots of undesirable people wandering streets, dismal and unappealing.
Very pleasant town, we walked up the hill to the totem centre, well worth the visit, very interesting indeed.
