Cruise on MS Ryndam Voyage of the Midnight Sun - July 4th
We feel that Holland & America is responsible for this poor cruise.....not the ship. Holland & America were not forthcoming with the truth of how the results of a 'sick ship', was going to affect the next cruise...ours !! We feel that we paid a full price for half a cruise.
Arrived at Harwich after a four hours drive. At the Terminal, we were greeted with a letter informing us of the fact that the MS Ryndam had suffered a 'higher than usual' run of the Norovirus on its last cruise and that the ship was being put through a ‘deep cleanse’. We had received an email a couple of days earlier informing us of the delayed departure of our cruise.
The cabin was clean and comfortable, but showing its age. Drawers kept getting stuck, bathroom had a few faults which were not fixed. TV terrible...out of focus, very little choice of channels. Air conditioning not that good, finally failed and had to move staterooms.
