I have had my eye on this cruise for some time. Actually we booked the Yokohama to Vancouver this spring, but had to cancel. So now we did the Vancouver-Yokohama-Shanghai cruise. It was a pleasant experience.
The Volendam is a nice ship, not too big, with an excellent crew. The information from the bridge was good and the presentation by the two 3rd officers avout the things they do were excellent.
You can't book the weather, and this cruise lacked badly in sunshine. Lots of fog and clouded skies, Japan rained. An exception, Glacier Bay on a sunny Sunday!
Large cabin with lots of space for our clothes and other stuff. Balcony had enough room for 2 persons. Funny, the floor was not teak as you expect, but some funny triplex. Maybe just a
temporary thing.
Bathroom with tub(why). No separate douche cabin but in the bath(which I hate, and not safe when the ship behaves like a ship).
