MISCELLANEOUS PHOTOS FROM THE VOLENDAM

	[

On Eurodam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Noordam, Westerdam, Oosterdam, Prinsendam, Zuiderdam: Every single Stateroom has a cooler (HAL does not like to use the word refrigerator as they don't get as cool as some medicines that require "refrigeration" need... but they will get beverages cold...)
[
On the rest of the HAL fleet (and note the above says NIEUW AMSTERDAM... NOT Amsterdam ) If it has a verandah, it has a cooler!

To make the pages less graphic intensive, I've divided the ship photos into 2 separate pages, the 1st is the Staterooms themselves, the 2nd is Miscellaneous photos of Public Areas around the ship. Click on Page 1 below (Bottom of this page) to see the Volendam Staterooms

[ Neptune Lounge [
[
[
Neptune Lounge: The FAMOUS coffee machine in the Neptune Lounge. Here's a BIG TIP.... If you love your caffeine, punch the latte or cappucino button and let it cycle....THEN push the espresso button to get an EXTRA shot! It has been mentioned by Suite guests that there is at least one (1) lap top computer for the use of guests in the Neptune Lounge. The regular Interent and connection fees would still be applicable. The Neptune Lounge is ONLY for Deluxe Verandah Suite and Penthouse Suite Guests.

[
Greenhouse Spa and Salon: With thermal suites and hydro-pool. Features heavenly beauty and wellness rituals. Enjoy a facial, hot stone massage, steam in a thermal suite and have your hair and nails done for a special evening. Work out in a State of the art Fitness center.

(IRL_Joanie's Note: The Hydro Therapy pools on the R and S Class ships (Amsterdam, Maasdam, Rotterdam, Ryndam, Statendam, Veendam, Volendam and Zaandam) have a much smaller pool which only holds 2-4 people.)

Side Note: Have you been on one of the ships with the Digital Workshop and lost one of the handouts for things you learned onboard? Frank uploaded them all to the Zaandam's corner of the HAL Website under the Online Communities section. You can find all of those handouts here: http://cid-b3ac20bf2d6cd8fa.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Digital%20Workshop%20Handouts
