I just read a pretty bad review of the Volendam. I understand, we all have faced usually something negative about a cruise we have taken. Some cruises are perfect, some are not. A lot of times, I see people make comments about a ship being too small, very little to do, kids club not good, food choices not good, etc. I think if people would take the time to research what the cruise line and or ship has to offer, it would help them make a better decision if they should purchase that cruise or not.
I took a Volendam cruise knowing exactly what I should expect. I knew it was small with fewer activities and usually caters to a more mature crowd.
And for the person who bashed the employees of Volendam who do not speak English well, shame on you.
Can that person who bashed them speak two languages fluently? I did not have any language problems with the employees of the Volendam during my cruise.
