Thanks for sharing. We'll be on the Volendam in a few weeks and your video has increased my excitement.

We board the Volendam for the first time in April. Loved seeing your excellent video it furthered our excitement about our upcoming cruise. Were the port lectures broadcast at a later time on the in room TVs?

[Bellair]

Hi everyone,

 

Many thanks for you kind words.

 

The shore info talks were still being screened on Tv in the cabins

 

Sad news that HAL has moved the afternoon tea into a very crowded Ocean Bar from the MDR (apparently all ships) We were unable to get a limited table each time so we gave up.

 

Highest port temp was Singapore and Thailand. Starts getting cooler this time of the year s you approach Halong Bay & Hong Kong (18c)

A fantastic video. I was with you on Volendam in 2011 when we diverted to Russia and visited those two awful ports Vladivostock and Petropavlosk, the latter was a terrible place full of rubbish and melting snow. The trip across the Bering Sea wasn't exactly smooth but Alaska made up for it. I look forward to more of your videos. I will be joining Volendam in March for another Asian cruise. John

Hey John,

 

Yes that was a rough trip indeed but we really enjoyed the Russian ports. It was straight after the Japanese Tsunami.

Great to hear from you.

Thank you!

We will board the Volendam on Feb. 14 for the 28 day China, Japan and Far East Collector cruise. The first 14 days are identical to your trip. I was excited before but after watching your video I am beyond excited. I will be impossible to live with for the next 2 weeks. I will blame it on you and your FANTASTIC video.

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to post!!

Great video! Thinking about doing that itinerary in the next year or so and your video helped persuade me that we should. Thanks!

[Bellair]

We are sure you will enjoy the ports and the ship

 

Bon Voyage!!

[HalFan]

Thanks for filming and posting this great video! We were on this cruise with you, but I don't believe that we met. We did spot ourselves in one of your shots. Had to smile when you included the waterfalls in the showroom. Also smiled when you enjoyed a couple of the same menu items as we did.

Happy future travels!

[Bellair]

many thanks for your comments. I wish we had met. A great cruise indeed on our favourite ship.
