Thread: Looking for some current Ryndam Menus

I will be on the Ryndam at the end of February for 2-weeks to the Caribbean.

I have not sailed on the Ryndam for a few years - the last time a 7-day Mexican Riviera cruise about 5 years ago.

I am looking for the main dinning room menus.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,

Thanks for posting. You can whet your appetite with this older thread focused on Ryndam Menu's while I scour the web and my sources for a more up to date Ryndam MDR menu.

Thanks!

Hi Tom

Those menus are from a special 22 day cruise we took on the Ryndam.

HAL changes menus every year -- in fact -- with every season.

I do have the menus from our back-to-back cruises -- Collectors Cruise from the Ryndam in 2010 -- but remember -- some of the items will have changed.

Just looking over those menus I see many items that are no longer on any of the cruises we have done since that cruise.

Also remember -- the order of the menus may change as well.

Yonnie,

That is the exact itinerary I am going on - thanks - this will give me an idea of how they handle the menus on a 14-day cruise.

Tom

Tom - Enjoy perusing these menus. I am.

Yonnie - Thank you so much. You're advice and information is invaluable around here. Much appreciated.
