Rare Copper10-8 Posted April 6, 2011 #2 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I hear that the Volendam is currently in dry dock in Singapore. Does anyone know what changes or upgrades she will be having done??? Standard maintenance and upgrade. Volendam's last dry-dock prior to the current one was in APR-MAY 08 on Vancouver Island (Esquimalt) so she is right on target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himself Posted April 6, 2011 #3 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Drydock does not always mean "extreme makeover" and I think some think that these days when they hear a ship is in drydock. It is what we call the Veendam syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted April 6, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted April 6, 2011 That is not what I thought at all, I was primarlily interested in knowing if some of the lounge furniture was going to be replaced after many comments about it showing a lot of wear. I guess they will. We will be sailing her on a 37 day cruise, so I will be able to report ... although I am sure others will jump at that opportunity before me.

goodearth Posted April 7, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Looking forward to those reports after drydock and how she looks............all spiffed up for a few more years on the sea, hopefully! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare erewhon Posted April 7, 2011 #6 Share Posted April 7, 2011 When we were on board September /October were told that the cabins are to be refurbished. During that time the chairs placed at the tables in the Neptune Lounge, one at a time would vanish to be re upholstered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to leave the old furniture than replace it with the uncomfortable MIX and Showroom at Sea stuff that seems to now be the standard in the redos!
