I am hoping the water wont be too bumpy as i dont fancy getting seasick!:( We just did NZ to Melbourne this February and the Tasman sea was smooth as glass. Others said it was bumpy. Maybe we just lucked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamcruiser53 Posted March 25, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Oh I am so glad to hear that it is not always rough. We booked an aft cabin this time and I was not looking forward to rough seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamcruiser53 Posted March 26, 2009 #10 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Well those seas are not that bad. I cruised from FTL. to south Caribbean and we were not able to get to port on day 3 due to high winds (40-50 knots) and sea swells that came up to deck 5, the promenade was closed due to swells and wind. I guess it is hit or miss when you book a cruise with regards to weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only crossed it twice and as Mike above says on Sapphire in 2007 it was like glass and then on Dawn last year is was very smooth. I want a trip like yours on Volendam! Maybe one day.
