TheSecondSister Posted June 19, 2013 Author #9 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Thanks for all the kind words... I have expectations to live up to now :) Got up this morning and can hear the Volendam chimes and announcements from our room at the Fairmont Waterfront. Anticipation is killing me!

Rare erewhon Posted June 24, 2013 #15 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Thanks for updating your blog, hope the starboard propeller has been successfully repaired. Did they say why Pea Soup was not served on the bow and outside decks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kish Posted June 25, 2013 #16 Share Posted June 25, 2013 So glad I discovered your blog. We leave on 29th on Zuiderdam and reading your comments has greatly increased my excitement of my first cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSecondSister Posted June 26, 2013 Author #17 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Thanks for updating your blog, hope the starboard propeller has been successfully repaired. Did they say why Pea Soup was not served on the bow and outside decks? Nope never did say anything about it, just didn't serve it. Saw it on a menu for the Dutch late night snack in the Lido, but didn't make it up to the Lido to see or try it. On the other hand, hot gluh wein on the bow in Glacier Bay was pretty hard to beat. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSecondSister Posted June 26, 2013 Author #18 Share Posted June 26, 2013 So glad I discovered your blog. We leave on 29th on Zuiderdam and reading your comments has greatly increased my excitement of my first cruise. Thanks Kish. I've never been on the Zuiderdam, so if you're keeping a travel blog, (whether on the trip or after you get back), let me know. I enjoy reading other people's cruise experiences. Of course, I'd rather be on a cruise, but it's the next best thing ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSecondSister Posted June 26, 2013 Author #21 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Sorry your cruise is coming to an end. Are the Elemis toiletries still supplied on the Volendam? Hi Erewhon - Yes, still Elemis, but the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel are in dispensers in the shower/tub, not individual small bottles. The body lotion is still in the small bottle.

Krazy Kruizers Posted June 26, 2013 #22 Share Posted June 26, 2013 We encountered the shampoo, conditioner and bath gel in the containers in the shower since 2010. I do use the shower gel once in a while and I have encountered the shower gel to be watered down a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The body lotion is still in the small bottle. Thank you for your reply, I had read on another thread that a different brand of toiletries are supplied on some of the HAL ships.

We thought that the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel on the Oosterdam ( December/January)were watered down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
