ryndam

Can anyone tell me something about Ryndam? Is it too old to stay away from ?

[finemusic]

Does anybody know about the condition of Ryndam? She is 20 years old> I love her size, but skeptical about her age.

We were on the Ryndam in December and thought she was in great shape. We were on the Noordam, which is half the Ryn's age, in March and found the Ryndam felt newer. With that said, we know some people have had a/c issues on the Ryn. We're already booked another cruise on the Ryn for this fall and love this size ship.

I love her size, but skeptical about her age.

I can think of so many come-backs that I don't know where to begin. :D

Hey fm,

 

If the ship is well maintained, "age cannot wither her nor custom stale her infinite variety".

Did I not read somewhere that the Ryndam just got out of drydock in March and is now completely re conditioned?

 

You might try a search in this thread.

It is one of the older vessels in the fleet. Just like the rest of the HAL ships, well maintained and in good shape.

 

Wouldn't hesitate for a minute to sail her. Take advantage of the smaller ships while they are still around. Before long, the smallest ships in the fleet will be 2,000 pax.

Oh, what humor or is it What? humor!:p

No one has figured out how much is "behind the scenes" mechanical dry dock issues and what, if anything, in the cosmetics of rooms/public spaces have been addressed.

 

A repeat Ryndam cruiser could help answer the questions.

We sailed on her maiden voyage (and the other S class ships as well) so the question really makes me feel old.

 

We love all the "smaller" ships for their size and because they bring back some great memories. We also appreciate how well HAL has treated those ships.

We just sailed the Ryndam on a transatlantic. The ship is in beautiful condition. Just came out of dry dock. They spent a lot on her. You would not know she is over 20 years old. Next to the Prinsendam, our favorite HAL ship.
