Really enjoyed our cruise - the Rhapsody of the Seas is a smaller ship, ~2000 guests, which made it a wonderful experience. While the ship could have had a smidge more shops or slightly larger showers in interior cabins, we wouldn't have changed much else. The staff were incredibly friendly, the ship was very comfortable and the itinerary was great. The only thing that could have been better on itinerary was an extended day or overnight in Santorini (maybe skip Crete?). Really a fun cruise and one I would recommend for anyone looking for an intro trip to Greece.

They tried hard on the Gluten Free needs and we were pleased they had them, although hope for some improvements in availability in the future.

The showers are small in this room type, not sure if they would have been bigger in another room type, but that was our largest disappointment. Other than that, not having a window actually turned out to be a blessing - very sound sleep without daylight. The beds were comfortable and for two people there was plenty of room, luggage (Carry on) fit in the closet and there was a nice little sofa in the room. Lots of tucked away storage as well.
This is just a port, but it was a HIKE from the train to the boat that we were glad we didn't take. A taxi van was there and we were able to get in on a group drop off for 5 Euro a person... totally worth it.
If you aren't a party person, I would say skip the beach here, it was quite small and wasn't all that special to be honest (Paradise beach). The town was more enjoyable to us.
This was one of our favorite stops, without ever going into Olympia! Use the little tourist train for 6 Euro and get taken to a LOVELY beach with a great hotel/restaurant and enjoy the gorgeous water. The town (Katakolon) also had really great shopping!
