Perhaps the only drawback to dining on Holland America ships is the somewhat limited serving hours. Breakfast ends at 10am, including breakfast foods through room service. Twenty-four hour room service is offered in the cabins, but the selection is limited to sandwiches and a few desserts. Like her sister ships, Ryndam has the most spacious staterooms in the mid-price range of ships. They are well lit and feature all the modern amenities in an intelligent layout that maximizes the feeling of spaciousness.
Bathrooms are complete with hair dryers and lovely toiletries.
Six staterooms are equipped to accommodate physically challenged passengers and 52 cabins have connecting doors for families that prefer two cabins. Deluxe cabins and suites feature private verandas, VCRs, stocked mini-bars, and whirlpool baths. The Ocean Spa fitness center offers ocean views, a juice and health shake bar, fitness classes, sauna, and steam room, plus a full-service spa with massages, facials, and a hair salon. There are two pools, one with saltwater and one chlorinated. A delightful feature is the retractable Magradome that closes in inclement weather and at night so guests can continue to enjoy the pool area.
