Review summary

(5/20/18 6-night Western Mediterranean) Wow! Where to start? if you are looking for a cruise with an amazing crew, great facilities, and a beautiful ship; then look at the Rhapsody of the Seas. She is a a slightly older ship, but no less beautiful and packed with state of the art features like wifi, giant video screens, and an ADULTS ONLY area called the Solarium. Our voyage was Barcelona to Venezia (Venice) with 4 ports on a 6 night cruise. The Ship was in port for many hours leaving ample time for longer excursions or great shopping. Pricing for merchandise is pretty cheap if you walk only a couple blocks off the main roads in port. Feel free to explore farther than normal as walking is a way of life in Europe and the narrower the road or alleyway, the nicer the people are. Side note: be alert for potential pick pocketers in congested areas, but that goes anywhere there are tourists. Also, to experience the wonderful people who 95% speak english, begin EVERY conversation with "Buenos Dias" in Spain, "Bonjour" in France, and "Bon Journo" in Italy...they will great you back with a smile and a warm heart....enjoy Western Europe as my wife and I did, can't wait to go back....

Nice! We’re doing a Transatlantic from Barcelona to Tampa on this ship in December and a few other cruisers have posted reviews. Thank you for posting yours!

Our first cruise was on Rhapsody and we felt the same way. It’s smaller, but I think that’s why we liked it so much. Thanks for sharing!
