Volendam 2 questions . Rough seas? Cabin a/c cool enough?

I am planning to sail on the Volendam out of Vancouver to the inside passage and have 2 questions.

1. When I sailed on the Maasdam in the Caribbean a few years ago, the seas were really rocky. Since the Volendam is about the same size as the Maasdam, am I likely to encounter similar problems?

2. tThis may sound like a silly question about an Alaskan cruise, but I need to sleep in a very cold room. Would the a/c in the cabin be adjustable to a cold temperature? The Eurodam worked well for me last year in the Caribbean, but the Vollendam is an older ship. I know it was refurbished in 2011, but I don't know if that included the cabin a/cs.

The seas can be rough. The ship has stabilizers, but if the seas are rough, you will feel it.

Cruise ship A/C is known to be VERY cool. Don't think you will have an issue.

CruiserBruce is correct, as usual.

When you sail out of Vancouver you may have very smooth seas, or it could be a little rough or even very rough. You just never know.

I would check on the Holland America boards where all the HAL regulars hang out. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=171 You should get current information there, so I won't say anything about my cruise from 5 years ago.

For me, Holland America had the worst cabin air conditioning. I was in a deluxe suite and the cabin was constantly hot. My sister was in a cabin on the same floor, about 20 doors down, and her cabin was unbearably hot.

and I'm the total opposite, I think the cabin gets down right cold! I will say that I have never been in a suite though, just a regular cabin.
