Rare Alphen Posted August 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Just celebrated our wedding anniversary during our 2 week cruise on Ryndam and we were pleasantly surprised by the crew for this special day, although it was not even a “crown year”! Morning started with a phone call from guest services, congratulating with this occasion. Later on we received complementary chocolate covered strawberries in our stateroom and at diner the dining room staff sang for our celebration with a nice cake. In all a great day, the day after, the staff gave us a call to ask if everything was to our satisfaction, which it was. For us, this was a first and we were more than happy with all of the attention we got and we felt very privileged and special. By the way, they were indeed 3 days early, the actual day was 3 days later in this cruise, but we didn’t dare tell them and it did not matter at all to us, we felt very privileged to celebrate this occasion on board Ryndam and had one of the best wedding anniversaries ever! Thank you Ryndam! :D Edited August 19, 2015 by Alphen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean Chris Posted August 19, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 19, 2015 We've celebrated two anniversaries on board Ryndam, the most recent one this past April, and we will miss the ship. The crew was even more wonderful than usual on that sailing. So glad they made it special for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Alphen Posted August 21, 2015 Author #11 Share Posted August 21, 2015 congrats....xxx was there any update on the noro virus that had been on board in earlier cruises.. we are sailing 29th august Strict Noro prevention measures were in force during the entire 2 weeks, but we did not encounter, nor hear about any cases during our 2 weeks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted August 21, 2015 #12 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Were the hot tubs closed, library, no salt and pepper shakers, bread baskets etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Alphen Posted August 21, 2015 Author #13 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Were the hot tubs closed, library, no salt and pepper shakers, bread baskets etc? Nope, none of this. Library open and to the best of my knowledge the hot tubs also, but did not use them, so cannot be 100% sure. We knew of the Noro history on previous cruises, but the only things we noticed that were extra, were the strict (hand) sanitizing rules, also the sanitizing of the embarkation hangar before the check in process started in Harwich and also the sanitizing of buses before the start of the ships tour(s) in all of the ports. Also the serving spoons and forks were frequently changed in the Lido, but no missing of salt/pepper and these sort of things.

ej22ndrow Posted August 21, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) How did they know it was your anniversary? I've had them celebrate my birthday before because obviously they get your DOB as part of your booking info. However, we've spent nearly every one of our anniversary's onboard one ship or another and it's never been mentioned. Happy Anniversary!

Rare Vict0riann Posted August 21, 2015 #15 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I think our travel agent told HAL once, and then they must have had it on file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the booking proces at HAL (direct), one of the questions is, if you have anything to celebrate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
