Review summary

six days at sea and I was never bored. Very relaxing except in the Diamond lounge, where 900 of your newest friends were trying to get drinks at the same time LOL.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was the last of 4 back to back cruises on the Rhapsody. Very nice port

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

They allowed dogs in the dining room. These were NOT service dogs but "comfort" dogs brought on board. I am allergic to dogs, and was seated next to a table with a dog allowed to be in the owners lap for dinner, plus scraps being fed off the table to the floor. Sanitation? Wash your hands and sanitize every time you enter a dining area, but only if you are human. Complained to waiter, head waiter, and Guest Services manager (just a blowhard that told me the dog had over $20,000 worth of training and he would not do anything. In other words, the dog had more rights than I did to a meal in the dining room. Later in the cruise, saw the same dog relieving itself on the Deck 5 walking track, not in the corner provided for it. Owner and dog walked away, just leaving the pee to roll around the deck. Dog must have been a Pinnacle!
