I will be in 3350 for the Grand South American cruise this coming Jan. (23) and will be next door 3348 for the Grand Australian in 2024. If you send me your email through the roll call I will send you pictures when I get on. I will be taking pictures to post on halfacts so will have pictures available. 

Thanks neighbor, we are looking forward to doing this cruise again. buddanddawn at gmail dot com

Been away with no internet,

but I would like to thank all who replied, specialty LAFFNVEGAS & LINDALER. My wife is concerned about the closets; are there the same 3 that were in the old OV cabins?. 

THANKS

On halfacts.com there are photos of two Lanai cabins on the Volendam, only on the starboard side.  Your room should be similar.

Cruisedeckplans.com has pics of 3335 and 3339.  I suspect 3350 is not any different.  EM

Thanks for the reply, but these seem to be the same stock photos that show a Lanai cabin for ANY HAL ship.

Hi;

     My wife and I have an Lanai cabin (3350} on the 94 day Australia & South Pacific cruise in January of "24". In searching the web for cabin plans, we have found quite a few, but none of them agree with the others. We would greatly appreciate any plans, photos or videos of  VOLENDAM's cabin 3350. Thanks in advance.

Which Far East cruise in September was cancelled ???    We are booked on the Nome to Vancouver cruise on 9/17/22, and we have had absolutely NO commutation from Silversea whatsoever.  

THANKS for your posting

FYI: Just saw on CBS a map of Africa that showed that South Africa was the only Southern African Country infected with the virus. Nothing more as it was on mute. Wishing you luck.

Just heard, Amsterdam is NOT going to Sri Lanka or India. Will stay in Australia longer, then 7 sea days in the Indian Ocean.

Good news, they extended our time to use the credit so that we could apply to an Aug 2021 cruise and also ket us split the credit to put on 3 different cruises next year.

 

I'm happy with the outcome.

We are very glad that they worked with you, it gives us hope.

same issue except lower $$$ as a single but going to push pcc to get this extended. We have 3 cruises booked with fcd thru aig 2021 and would like to split between the 3. I was surprised it wasnt a refund as all the cancelled asia cruisers received.  I spent all a.m cancelling everything. Flights were going to cost 2 1/2 times the miles I had used to get to Sinhapore and take 40 hrs or so or on airlines I wouldnt want etc.

 

There a

Don't know if HAL will let us board if we were to fly from Singapore.

I'm supposed to be on the segment from Singapore to Cape Town. Waiting to hear what is up.  2 years of research and planning safaris etc. Already changed my flight weeks ago to go direct to Singapore instead of transiting thru Hong Kong when they started denying boarding to those having been there.

We too were supposed to board in Singapore, and haven't yet decided what we will do, as a $26,000.00 future cruise credit that expires on 2/25/2021 is way beyond STUPID. It should have expired on 2/25/2023.

As far as I know, THIS is the roll {or role} call. why not ????????????????

My wife & I just got a Future Dam, our very first one. We are looking forward to crossing another one off of the Bucket List.  Hope to meet you all onboard.

We have had & used a TRAC phone for 4 to 5 years and we have now well over 1700 minutes built up, and for just around $10.00 per month it is very very cheap. By us only using a TV antenna & a TRAC phone is how we can afford to be able to cruise with you; and speaking of cruising how are you progressing with the tour research for our Asia-Australia Grand Voyage ???????

We first met him on board the old Rotterdam V in September of 97 just before the old girl was sold; he really hasn't changed much.

BUDD & DAWN

We wholeheartedly agree with Kween Karen, Little Brucie Scudder & Henk Mensink are an unbeatable combination. we can only hope that they are on at least one of the next three Holland American cruises that we have booked. As an aside, we also completely enjoyed Savannah Rye in 2008, & also look forward to cruising with her again.
