Staterooms

Every cabin on Ryndam, from an inside to its biggest suite, got a nuts-and-bolts refurbishment. Accommodations range from inside (182 square ft. ), outside with picture window (197 square ft.), cabin with balcony (292 square ft.), and suites, such as penthouse (1,159 square ft.) and deluxe (556 square ft.). There are six staterooms configured to accommodate passengers with disabilities. All cabins have highlights that include new bedding (from duvets to fine sheets to pillow-top mattresses), and a flat screen television with DVD player. All cabins, save for insides, have bathrooms with tubs that are somewhat abbreviated in length (with whirlpools in higher category staterooms). The bathrooms did not get much of a makeover aside from massage-type shower heads, on-loan bathrobes and quite nice towels, but they were well designed to begin with. One definite improvement: The powerless hair dryers that were mounted on bathroom walls have been replaced by better ones (you'll find yours in the vanity drawer). There's plenty of closet space, an in-room safe, and a telephone that can handle voice mail and one-button calls to the front desk and room service.

Teak-covered balconies on standard verandah staterooms and mini suites are outfitted with rubber slatted furnishings and a small round table.

Folks who book full-out suites are entitled to use the ship's concierge lounge, where special amenities include free DVD rentals and evening hors d'oeuvres.
