Life on Board
Facilities
Features
- Dining: A main dining room and a couple of casual eateries plus the Pinnacle Grill which is the premium pay-extra restaurant
- Family amenities: Good, and Volendam is one of the few HAL ships that seems to regularly carry quite large numbers of children
- Top accommodation: Penthouse Suite has a king-sized bed, large bathroom, living room, baby grand piano and private balcony which is no larger than any other suite balcony
- Entertainment and facilities: Volendam is still hanging onto the big Vegas shows which have been rather phased out on other ships in her class
- Tipping: around £5 per person per day is added to onboard accounts – this figure can be altered via the front desk (HAL’s name for what other cruise lines would call the purser’s desk) – and a mandatory unalterable 15% to all bar bills
