budddawn Posted September 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Hi; My wife and I have an Lanai cabin (3350} on the 94 day Australia & South Pacific cruise in January of "24". In searching the web for cabin plans, we have found quite a few, but none of them agree with the others. We would greatly appreciate any plans, photos or videos of VOLENDAM's cabin 3350. Thanks in advance. BUDD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted September 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Cruisedeckplans.com has pics of 3335 and 3339. I suspect 3350 is not any different. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted September 24, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2022 On halfacts.com there are photos of two Lanai cabins on the Volendam, only on the starboard side. Your room should be similar. https://halfacts.com/3339-volendam/ https://halfacts.com/3335-volendam/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM Thanks for the reply, but these seem to be the same stock photos that show a Lanai cabin for ANY HAL ship. Budd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budd Photos on Hal Facts are submitted by cruisers who have stayed in the cabin. While they might have been several years ago, they are pictures of the cabin on Volendam 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budd I think I would believe halfacts.com describing those two cabins as from Volendam. Or the two posters who submitted them to halfacts.com @LAFFNVEGAS and @Vict0riann. Since I've tagged them perhaps they will check out this thread and verify they actually stayed on Volendam. Not sure why you are questioning it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted September 25, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 25, 2022 On cruisedeckplans the pics of 3339 are attributed to member whose username is @LAFFNVEGAS. EM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LAFFNVEGAS Posted September 25, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Yes, that was me who posted the picture of the Lanai cabin o the Volendam. I have to amit I actually liked the stateroom and location. We had originally booked a Vista Suite for that Alaska cruise but was told due to a glitch with the booking system they over sold Vista Suites and needed to move people. I declined the first offer but stated if I could have a better offer for a Lanai I would take it. Another week or two passes and they made me an offer I could not refuse. I think if there are no Vista Suites or cost is an issue the lanai is a great alternative. The only negative is people walking by and trying to look into your stateroom and or at night you must remember to keep the curtains closed. Other than that it was all good. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the lanai cabins and think people really can't see much. The easy acess to the Promenade is a big plus, and we take these cabins if they are available. Some people complain that they are small, but we went on one 49 days cruise and found it to have plenty of space. Of course people generally find something to complain about, no matter what. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida_gal_50 Posted September 25, 2022 #11 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I find it so odd that people would rather look into a stateroom than the beautiful sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, true. I live by the ocean and people always try to peer into my house. Human nature, I guess. I have to close my blinds alot because of turtle season, anyway, but your point is definitely right on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make a point of not looking at houses, people that are randomly walking by etc. I’m struggling with knee problems and I’m in a lot of pain even though I put on a lot of steps daily. In the last week I’ve been called slow and someone decided to mimic the way I walk when I first get up and struggle to get going. When people do things like that it’s a wonder they don’t ring your doorbell and ask for a tour 🙄. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocoLoco1 Posted September 27, 2022 #16 Share Posted September 27, 2022 With a Veranda stateroom booked and $Paid$ for on the VOLENDAM (I have a printed Confirmation that states VERANDA). My QUESTION: Now what??!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My QUESTION: Now what??!! Did you book through a travel agent or direct? If you had used a PCC, you would only have to ring them up and ask. There are no Verandah (with an H always on HAL) cabins on the Volendam. The "lowest" cabin that has a balcony (or Veranda, possibly without the H) is the Vista suite. What is your cabin number? As far as "Now what??!!" the answer would be, pack for your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoLoco1 Posted September 27, 2022 #18 Share Posted September 27, 2022 How odd my HAL PCC person booked it that way, Veranda. No Cabin assigned yet. I NEED a Veranda. I will be on the phone yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two questions about the Lanai cabins, I see from your photo that there are no cushions on the chairs. What do you do if you want to sit and they have been put away by the crew? Do they ever take the chairs away or can you sit out there at night too? And do they have fridges in the cabin? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cushions on the chairs would appear if the weather was good. This was an Alaska cruise I was on.I think a lot depends on the itinerary. It sounds terrible to say but I honestly do not remember if there was a fridge but I think there might have been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen on Veendam a few moons ago, the cushions get stowed overnight. The deck chairs remain in their spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OV's that the Lanai cabins were converted from, do not have fridges (hence no designated place for them). I could find no photos showing a mini-fridge. You can rent one for (used to be) $2/day. Arrange ahead of time! The only place to put it is in the knee-bay of the desk/vanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted recently that the fridges at still $2 so that’s good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TiogaCruiser Posted September 28, 2022 #24 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Only speaking regarding my experience on Veendam (smaller ship than the R class), I cannot picture where you would fit a refrigerator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, based on my experience on all four S-class and all 4 R-class ships. That includes one of them after the conversion to Lanai, when the desk became remarkably smaller.
