Ryndam cruise - 5-20-12 Fjords and North Cape ("The top of the world")
We booked this cruise for our 30th anniversary. We have never been to England or Norway before. We sailed in room 382, a class "C" outside on the lower promenade deck. The cabin is in a very convenient location. Having the promenade deck outside the window does require the closing of the curtains any time privacy is needed. On the other hand, only a few steps are required to the "Largest balcony on the ship."
We flew from Philadelphia to Heathrow Friday evening, May 18th, arriving Saturday morning. The flight went well. We were outside Heathrow and waiting for the rental car van about 1 hours and 20 minutes after arrival. We arranged a rental from National and drove straight to Dover. We dropped our luggage off at the East Lee Guest House, a B&B chosen by recommendation from Trip Advisor. We then drove up the hill to the Dover Castle and spent the remainder of the day touring the castle and grounds.
Cabin Review
Large Ocean-View Stateroom
Our cabin was in a very convenient location, near the "Largest verandah." However, being under part of the galley we heard noises from above and also from the promenade deck outside. The rocking of the ship and perhaps the Arctic air may have offset the noise affect as it seemed we slept well for the most part.
