Our Group Cruise Begins: Volendam Embarkation Day!
The Volendam is BACK, and so are we - this time with 36 Canucklings aboard for an 11-day Eastern Canada adventure all the way to Newfoundland! Watch as Jerry and Jill walk half a kilometre through Old Montreal to the port, sneak on board a full 30 minutes early, and rediscover one of their all-time favourite ships. First impressions: the taco station is gone (devastating), loungers have been replaced by tables, the muster drill is full old-school enhanced style (unexpected), and dinner arrives decidedly cold (between us and the Canucklings). But the Crow's Nest view sailing down the St. Lawrence at sunset, clearing the Cartier Bridge with what felt like millimetres to spare, the beautiful ship that inspired dozens of people to book this very cruise after watching the last vlog series - and 36 incredible group cruisers ready for 11 days together? The Volendam is already feeling like home! 0:00 - Volendam Group Cruise BEGINS: 36 Canucklings Set Sail! 0:45 - Walking from Embassy Suites to the Port: 600m of Anticipation 1:30 - First Sight of the Volendam in Montreal Harbour! 2:00 - Early Boarding: Getting On 30 Minutes Ahead of Schedule 3:30 - Journey the Secret Word: 11 Letters, Two Words! 4:00 - First Ship Exploration: Pool Deck + Frozen Margarita! 5:30 - Bad News: Taco Station is GONE! 6:00 - Buffet Tour: Leo Deck First Impressions 7:00 - Aft Pool + Dutch Flag: Is It Adults Only or Not? 8:00 - Where Did the Loungers Go?!
