finemusic Posted May 1, 2014 Author #2 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Does anybody know about the condition of Ryndam? She is 20 years old> I love her size, but skeptical about her age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtn2Sea Posted May 1, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 1, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aruba Posted May 1, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 1, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_r_a Posted May 1, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hey fm, If the ship is well maintained, "age cannot wither her nor custom stale her infinite variety". Ira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewhuston Posted May 1, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 1, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon1 Posted May 1, 2014 #7 Share Posted May 1, 2014 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.

eandj Posted May 2, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Did I not read somewhere that the Ryndam just got out of drydock in March and is now completely re conditioned? . 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. Edited May 2, 2014 by eandj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Walt Posted May 2, 2014 #12 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Does anybody know about the condition of Ryndam? She is 20 years old> I love her size, but skeptical about her age. 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.

Williamsburg Posted May 3, 2014 #13 Share Posted May 3, 2014 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.
