dlopiccolo Posted May 20, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Inquiring Minds want to know! :D We are booked in August for the 7 day Northbound Hubbard Glacier on the Ryndam, Vancouver to Seward stopping in Ketchikan, Haines, Juneau, Sitka & a day in Hubbard Glacier. I would love what ever feed back you can provide for those of you going on the same cruise on earlier dates. When are the formal nights? What cooking & other classes were offered? When? Favorite excurions? Best day to book a meal at the specialty restaurants(s)? Favorite port? Why? Did you use club Hal? Hours? Tips for ship? We have 5 outside staterooms on Deck 5 in the E6xx range. Opinions? Oh...and Wine cards? Internet connections? If you can't tell I can't wait!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EduTravler Posted May 21, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 21, 2009 DH and I are booked for same trip in early July. I'll try and post when we get back. But... surely someone else is doing the same trip earlier, I hope, to let us know how the trip is, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAYEF Posted May 21, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 21, 2009 We will be on her June 5 - June 19th. Of your ports, MY favorite is Sitka.................just because. We've been there many times; it feels like a "baby Seattle" to me.............the Russian history is fun, the whole town is like a step back in time for us. ENJOY!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geshaw30 Posted May 21, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 21, 2009 You might find some useful info from my Ryndam blog ending last week. Sitka is not in there but there are other items that will pertain to you...perhaps. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=981580&highlight= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlopiccolo Posted May 21, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yes, George, your post was a WEALTH of info. I enjoyed every detail. I have been ebay hunting for good rain gear for the family and need to buy the book you recommended. Also, really appreicated the pricing on the Internet and posting advice. I am just trying to build on the fabulous foundation you have laid with all the nit picky details. We will be travelling with 5 boys ages 16, 13, 10, 6, and 4 in our party of 13 (the 2 smaillest are mine) and I for one am estatic at the oppurtunity to build on my kids interest in the world beyond their doorstep. For those going in June and July, if you have a moment to report back with the specifics of this particular 7 day journey...I will love you forever. I think TOMORROW is the first journey, or maybe it was just listed that way because I checked yesterday. Regardless...I'm addicted to details. Sitka = Small Russian influenced town...I can't wait. I am planning on the Otter excursion which I think will leave our afternoon free to roam the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
