Ryndam (Retired) Review

Additional details
Memorable 7 day Norwegian Cruise on HAL Ryndam! Ever since I was in high school, and my girlfriend's parents talked about growing up in Norway, I have wanted to visit Norway and see the Fjords myself. This cruise did not disappoint! Hopefully I can repeat this itinerary, as there is just too much to see and do in 7 days. Next time I would like to take a longer cruise, and sail around the North Cape. The biggest challenge in doing this is the airfare, as the cruise is very reasonably priced.
Have sailed on 30 cruises with Celebrity, Costa, Holland (65 nites on 7 cruises) and NCL. HAL offers a great value for the price. Each of the HAL ships has a different character and atmosphere, and the HAL Ryndam Norwegian Fjord cruise was very international, with half the passengers from the UK, and the rest primarily from the US, Canada, Australia and South Africa. I have sailed on the Ryndam before [Sea of Cortez Cruise], and find it a comfortable, older ship.

Cabin Review
Large Ocean-View Stateroom
Great loaction, right as boarding on Deck 5. Short walk to aft elevator to dining room, or forward elevator to spa. Nice size window for viewing scenerary. Has sitting area with loveseat and coffee table, and curtains separating seating area from beds. Closets were a bit small, but I didn't bring very much on this cruise so it was not a problem.
