Farewell To The Ryndam

It is Friday, our last night on the Ryndam, so we thought we would share a few views of the ship.

Our stateroom worked out great. It was a good size with a sitting area and lots of storage. Our suitcase and backpacks fit under the bed.

Another view. The only TV we watched was the view from the bow of the ship or the channel showing our path and current position.

They had a class on towel folding. You can see our stateroom attendant Danny in the middle.

The hallway outside our stateroom. We were in the center of the ship, so the view is the same looking down the other direction.

The main pool area. There is a retractable cover so they can open or close it depending on the weather.

Roxanne gets us more coffee.

Here is the "Front Office" and the main place to go for help.

Hanging out in The Crow's Nest. It is in the front of the ship, with a great view. We relaxed there some and went there for dancing a few nights, after the Ocean Bar closed.

We hung at out the Ocean Bar every night, where we danced the night away. The group playing there, The Neptunes, was great. The dance floor was small, so it was tough to navigate if there were a lot of people dancing. Most of the time there were only one or two couples dancing. We danced the waltz, the rhumba, and the cha cha, along with some slow dances. Not that it is going to our heads, but we did get compliments from 4 different people on our dancing. Out dance instructors should be proud when we tell them.

This is The Neptunes. They also call themselves The Peter Nickalls Trio. They played a wide variety of music, all of which we enjoyed listening to, and dancing to (if we knew the dance that goes with the song). The piano players family was also on the cruise and was there listening every night. He hurt his right foot on a hike at one of the ports and was forced to use his left foot for the piano pedals for a couple of nights.

The happy couple on the last night of the cruise. Farewell Ryndam!
