Ryndam (Retired) Review
Rating by category
Additional details
My husband and I sailed the week of 10/12 out of San Diego, CA. The Ryndam is a smaller ship compared to the Oosterdam which we sailed on earlier in May to Alaska. The actual cruise ship itself is in very good condition. We did not see any wear on any of the furniture and the help did a fine job keeping the ship clean.
We did have a little scare halfway toward the end of the cruise "Code Red Alert". About 30 passengers got ill with the intestinal bug, we heard that passengers went on the Topolobamba train ride and the food they ate off the ship made them ill. Thus when they returned back on the ship some may have not sanitized and it spread to some passengers.
It didn't change our experience as we always use the sanitizers either way. It just made the lines on the Lido buffet a bit longer. The cruise ship temperature was a bit hotter than I would have liked it, at times it seemed the air conditioning was not working properly on certain decks. GYM: - We used the gym twice a day as we wanted to make sure not to gain alot of weight. The gym was much larger than I anticipated and it had plenty of cardio machines and free weights.
Cabin Review
Large Interior Stateroom
Cabin: We booked in inside cabin MM #690 it was a much larger room than I thought it would be. Queen size bed with a coach; flat screen tv and a desk with plenty of draw space and closet space for our clothing. The bathroom was a bit small but for a cruise ship very duable. The only channels broadcasted on the tv were ESPN; CNN no local networks. It was good enough as we were still able to catch up with what was happening around the world. The bed was comfortable not too soft or hard.
