Hello,
I am looking for opinions on the Volendam for a 12 and 16 year old as well as a musician husband. We are also travelling with Grandparents who have sailed on all the various cruise lines and are flexible. The music options on the Volendam seem more limited than on other HAL ships. I think the kids will be fine, they have sailed on Serenade of the Seas and Sky Princess. They do not go to the kid clubs and are fine with entertaining themselves but this would be a 14 day cruise with only the sport courts and a small swimming pool. The big pros for me are the smaller ship, price and the ports. My husband likes to spend a good deal of time listening to great bands but has said that he is happy just relaxing and watching the sea. Not sure if we should look at other cruises. The RC Grandeur of the Seas is a possibility but does not have a sports court ( which was a big hit on the last cruise) but does have a rock wall. Thoughts?
