Yes, that was me who posted the picture of the Lanai cabin o the Volendam. I have to amit I actually liked the stateroom and location. We had originally booked a Vista Suite for that Alaska cruise but was told due to a glitch with the booking system they over sold Vista Suites and needed to move people. I declined the first offer but stated if I could have a better offer for a Lanai I would take it. Another week or two passes and they made me an offer I could not refuse. I think if there are no Vista Suites or cost is an issue the lanai is a great alternative. The only negative is people walking by and trying to look into your stateroom and or at night you must remember to keep the curtains closed. Other than that it was all good.
