The following is an article from a travel industry weekly. Sure wish they'd invite those of us who are booked to sail soon to the ceremony. We'd be happy to drive the 70 miles or so. HAL, ARE YOU LISTENING?
Ryndam to sail with full 'Signature of Excellence' features (10/14/2004)
SEATTLE -- The Ryndam will emerge from drydock next week as the first
Holland America Line vessel to incorporate the line's new Signature of
Excellence features onboard.
Madeleine Arison, the ship's original godmother and the wife of Carnival
Corp. CEO Micky Arison, will rededicate the ship during a ceremony in
San Diego on Oct. 20. The Ryndam was christened to the fleet by Mrs.
Arison in 1994.
The Signature of Excellence initiative focuses on five areas:
accommodations; dining; service; programs and activities; and worldwide
itineraries. Enhancements have been started on all ships and will be
completed by the end of 2006.
