Laughs on the Ryndam

[Ashie]

We just came back from a great first time cruise to Alaska... at the crew farewell party, the coordinator read out his top 10 list of questions that people on the cruise had actually approached him with on our trip - we sure had a good laugh:
1. What is the current elevation of the ship?
2. Are our TV's connected by cable or satellite?
3. Do these stairs go up or down?
4. Are the waves in the pool artificial?
5. Do the crew sleep on board?
6. What do you do with the ice carvings after they melt?
7. Is that island completely surrounded by water?
8. (On the last nite) Do I put my luggage out in the hall before or after I go to sleep?
9. What time do you feed the whales?
10. What time of the year do the deer turn into elk?
Even though the Ryndam was scheduled for re-fitting in Victoria at the end of our trip and could have used a little polishing up, we had so much fun. The crew was incredible - we became so attached to our steward and dining room table crew they all seemed like family. I just hated to get off at the end of the cruise. I think I've finally found my mission in life: CRUISING!:D

I love those top 10 questions that the cruise director claims were asked of him/her during the cruise. Some of them are really funny.

...and some on them have been passed down by Noah!

Ashie-

We enjoyed the Ryndam very much this summer also!:) She has a fine crew and we found service on her to be above and beyond our expectations.

I am sure she will look beautiful after her major retrofit. I just have to wonder what they are going to move/displace to add the new Greenhouse spa. Has anyone seen the new deck plan for her??? I know folks who will be sailing her soon will be anxious to see it!:cool:

I heard this on Celebrity ... It's funny:

One more: What elevator should I take to get to the front of the ship? ;)

I'm dying here! These are hilarious!

Thanks for posting them.:D

that most of those questions had probably been passed around on other ships but because we were having so much fun and they seemed so crazy, plus we're first time cruisers, pretty naive and thought someone could have actually asked them, (not to mention the couple of glasses of wine we had at the farewell), we decided to enjoy them and have our chuckles along with the rest of the passengers who laughed hysterically as he read them out.
Actually I was so confused for the first day or two, I could easily have decided that one staircase near our cabin only went UP.... :D

From an Oosterdam Alaska Cruise: What time do the Northern Lights come on? Are the glaciers here all year? I do think they pass these questions around since we heard them on our cruise, also.
