We had a great time aboard the Volendam everything was excellent, food, service, cabin staff just wonderful very friendly. Hal seems to go to more ports than the other cruiselines already planning our next cruise probably with Hal
Excellent very impressed
Great clean, beautiful beds
Average- Bingo was a bit dear, cooking classes were interesting.
We went on a few excursions found quite expensive even though we enjoyed them but you can organize to do same when you get off ship for less than half the cost we found out
Overall really enjoyed the whole experience to me cruising is the best holiday Thought it was great that we also not only went to New Zealand but Tasmania & Melbourne as well which was great. First stop Tauranga went on an excursion to Rotarua excellent day. We also went on the Trans Alpine rail /bus trip too much wasn't that fussed too much sitting and driving. In Melbourne went to Ballarat Soverign hill gold rush town this was in our opinion the
highlight of the excursions.
