On previous posts I saw that there were problems on this ship with sickness and water sanitation issues. What is the current status?

I just had clients return from the Ryndam. They reported no such problems. They had a great cruise and thought the food and service were also good.

Do not believe what you read sometimes, if you notice those that post the major complaints, never come back to Cruise-Chat. I was on the Ryndam a year ago with absolutely no problem. I had read the rumors as well. I, along with my travel agent, called Holland-America directly. They had a one-time incident where a pipe broke (we have those at home too) and it was repaired with no further issues. You will be perfectly fine on the Ryndam. Have fun!
