Gtex Posted November 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I am considering a cruise next year on the Volendam. I have never been on the Volendam, but know it is an older ship. Does anyone know when it has been or will be in dry dock for updating and repairs? Thanks in advance for any information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Mary229 Posted November 2, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 2, 2019 It just came out of drydock this week. I haven’t heard about the changes yet. There is another thread where someone said they were boarding this week so maybe there will be pictures soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gtex Posted November 2, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Thanks so much for the quick reply. I am glad to hear that HAL is working on the older ships. We will be on the lookout for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted November 3, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2019 HAL works on all the ships. In fact, HAL does dry docks about every 30 months, where regulations only require a dry dock approximately every 5 years, far exceeding requirements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenato Posted November 3, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Not sure of all updates but Vista Suites have large screen TVs mounted on wall opposite beds with movies, accountstatus, limited live Tv available. I am sure there are changes on deck 5 for entertainment but not sure what was there before. Heard of usual hot water, air conditioning and smell problems in different areas of ship. Many maintenance people peering into the ceilings. Any questions I will try to answer . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted November 5, 2019 #8 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Volendam is a lovely ship. Just the bight size IMO. I have memories of some wonderful cruises on her and would happily sail her again. I sailed her sister, Zaandam two cruises his spring and found he ship to be very goof. We sailed her at least two cruises her Inaugural year and again after. Nice ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammy123 Posted November 5, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Just curious on how she came out of dry dock. We were suppose to be on her now, but had to cancel our 19 day cruise due to health problems. Was looking forward to the trip. Oh well there will be other cruises. Was looking forward to see how she was spruced up. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
