Ryndam Holland America cruise - stateroom with 4 people?
We are booked in a "large inside stateroom" with our 2 children. From looking at the pictures there are only 2 single beds, so it seems like the couch must pull out to become the bed to sleep the extra two people. But it doesn't state this anywhere. Has anyone stayed in these rooms with 4 people to tell me how the sleeping arrangements work?

There are three ways this can be set up. One is a pull out couch that sleeps two. Another is a pull out couch that sleeps one plus a bed that come out of the ceiling. Or there could be two beds that come out of the ceiling, like the examples shown in the link below ... http://www.webshots.com/search?query=cruise+quad+cabin&new=1&source=chromeheader
2 :
On this particular ship, quads (rooms for 4 people) have 2 lower beds (which can be combined into 1 big bed), 1 sofa bed, and 1 upper bed (pulls down from the ceiling). You can check out which cabins are quads in the deck plan. They're marked with a square: http://www.hollandamerica.com/fleet/deckPlan.do?ship=ry&deck=m&year=next My cousin and her family have done this. It's OK, but I don't think you'll want to spend too much time in your cabin other than sleeping. Enjoy your trip!

The coach pulls out. It is a little snug. But a lot of fun overall.
4 :
It seems like it should say somewhere if your particular room can accommodate 3rd & 4th passengers. However, I don't think you would be able to book 4 people in a room for 2 (as in the website wouldn't allow you to). As for the other two beds, usually on cruises the couch doesn't pull out. It converts to a bed... the like take the cushions off and stuff and it becomes a bed. The other pulls out from the ceiling. :)Ayelle
5 :
Yes, the beds come out of the wall, like a fold out bunk bed in most cases. Plenty of room, except after dinner when they pull these beds down and make them up for you. So try to pick up before you go to dinner...Also, take SOFT sided luggage to stuff under the beds when you unpack. Also, we designate the left end of the closet as a "hamper" to dump dirty clothes, and stuff them in a suitcase under the bed periodically. Done this OFTEN, and always had fun, just try to maintain a tiny bit of organization and the small space will be no big deal....

Thinking of getting Holland lap ear rabbit
Thinking of getting Holland lap ear rabbit?
I work in a pet store, and Ive fallen for a female rabbit that we have. The only reason Im thinking of not getting her is because of my dogs. I have three dogs. they have their own room, and are in there when they are not out. I would have the rabbit kept in a seperate room, with a secure door. I know I would be able to give her a great deal of attention. The only thing Im worried about is my dogs barking. I do not want the rabbit to get stressed out. Two of my rabbits in the past died of a heart attack. I just wondered if my dogs are barking in a seperate room if this could stress the rabbit out. Just wondered what some peoples opinions are, thanks!

You can get the rabbit if you please. Maybe the dogs have been barking at you past rabbits because they didn't know what it was. Introduce the rabbie to the dogs, and they will become acostom to the smell. Rabbit and dogs can develop fantastic relationships. It really depends on what breeds you have. If you have a duchound, i wouldn't sugest it. Dogs like that were breed to hunt and kill rabbits. Hope all goes well.
2 :
probably you are right - not to have the rabbit, as she might find the dogs too much and die. That would not be fair, and someone else might give her a gorgeous home
3 :
Go for it. I have rabbits and dogs and the rabbits have never had any problems with the dogs. Oh funny story in case you are still plauged by indicesion. Once I was feeding my rabbit and the cage door was open. I turned around and my Golden Retreiver was nose to nose with My NZ buck! I almost had a heart atack but the dog just trotted away and we were happy.

Historically, Holland fought the effects of Global Warming there with sea walls, etc. What are they doing now
Historically, Holland fought the effects of Global Warming there with sea walls, etc. What are they doing now?
My friend was in Holland (The Netherlands) about ten years ago, and said they were already actively working against the effects of Global Climate Change/Global Warming back then. They were building their sea walls and dikes up much higher, and also finding area for water flow in rivers and flood plains to exist safely. But now it is ten years later, and we know things have gotten worse, faster, and I am wondering what they are doing about it now. What are they working on? Technology? Changing housing patterns? Are there people who are emigrating away from that country? What is the latest? Please don't use this question as a forum to argue against Global Climate Change. While it is true that Holland has always been low, and parts are sinking, and the sea level rise wasn't always called "Global Warming" or anything else like that, it is also the case that there are articles from the late 1990's talking about Holland dealing with the sea level, tides and surf rising up higher due to Global Climate Changes/Global Warming. They first began working on the sea rise problem in the fifties. My question is what are they doing about the effects of it now. My question isn't what they are doing to lower the temperature, since Holland is too small to make much impact. The answer that has the two links (one to the NY Times) has good information. "Best answer" will go to someone who connects me to information coming right from The Netherlands, about what they are working on now, and planning in the future.

The only thing walls and dikes help with are longshore current errosion, which is not an effect of global warming, but what happens to ocean shores. They are probably currently/ regularly rebuilding and fixing these walls because they are being erroded by waves and water movement! The Netherlands is probably cleaner than some countries because more people ride their bikes there (so I've heard).

There are areas of holland that were always below sea level, global warming wasn't the reason for dykes
5 :
the netherlands r expected 2 go underwater w/in 50 years
6 :
Well the EU is concidered a world leader in dealing with Greenhouse Gas emissions so I think they are doing quite a bit in terms of sea level rise by using environmental policies like Greenhouse Gas caps, emissions trading etc.. They are currently working on the most important issue Transportation.. Cars are the most prevalent source of human GHG emissions..

What kind of revisionist liberal stuff have you been reading? Holland built the sea walls because they DRAINED a sea bed to make more usable land. They were building the dikes and using windmills to pump out the water for hundreds of years before anyone came up with the term "Global Warming." Your question is based on a premise that has no foundation in reality.
