HAL brochure question

[jagsfan]

I'm sailing Dec 3 on Volendam. As I always do, I've been fondling my

brochure, Frommers Cruise Guide and everything else cruisewise.

I noticed on page 67 of the latest (green) brochure, under the heading

In Every Gracious Stateroom, is a list:

Elegant bathrobe

Fresh Fruit Assortment

Luxurious beds etc.

No-host mini-bar service

Ice service, shoeshine service nightly turndown service

Flatscreen TV (except on Oosterdam and Westerdam)

and

DVD player and access to an extensive DVD library.

Now, I haven't seen any mention here on the boards of normal staterooms

having a mini-bar or DVD player. I actually haven't heard anything about

shoeshines, either.

The suites list additional amenities, so the first set is supposed to be for

every stateroom.

I'll bring the DVDs I never have time to watch, if we'll have a DVD player in

our cat EE stateroom.

Thanks for any info......Mimi

There was a DVD player in my inside cabin on the Volendam this past July.

 

That what you wanted to read? :)

Normal staterooms have DVD available. You can rent DVD's at the library for $2 ea. There will be a woven basket in your closet that is for you to put you shoes in at night and leave them outside your door or give them to your room steward, they will be shined and returned you by the next morning. It is available gratis to all passengers.

Well, Lordy Lordy......Volendam sounds better and better to me.

When I asked a res agent on the phone, she said only balconies and up have

DVD players. It pays to ask somebody that's been there. thanks to both of

you for responding.

You will love the Volendam -- she has so many "Dutch" items on board that she reminds you of a true HAL ship.
