Review summary

All n all, I had a great time. This was a dream trip for my Grandma to have the family together on a cruise. We all did are own thing but were able to stay connected. I thought recommend Royal to other and will probably do it again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Had to charge port from Tampa to Port Canaveral. Royal did a very good job in getting buses lined up to shuttle everyone. Just was an extra 2+ hours of travel time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Only eat in main dining room and buffet. Buffet was a “college dorm” style but that’s what I thought going in and it was solid. Main dining room food was amazing and the service was one of a kind!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Rhapsody of the Sea is one of the smaller ships so it didn’t have a done but still enjoyable.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We probably had the best waiters and room stewards in board. They always would stop work and say hello and ask how your day was. They helped make the trip awesome!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Layout and cleanliness of the ship is fine. Could use alittle TLC, but I also notice small details that most done. My wife had no issues and loved it.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Room was smaller then expected but worked for 2. Balcony could have used alittle cleaning.

Ports of call

Tampa, Florida

3 out of 5
It was kinda dirty outside the port.

Key West, Florida

3 out of 5
Alittle underwhelmed but Key West.

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
The shuttle from Cozumel to Playa was crazy. I do not get motion sickness but I almost did on that ride. 30mins each way.

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
Lots of shops off the tender but they were not pushy so that helps.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

2 out of 5
Way to many shops and to touristy. No signs or info for a taxi to get away from the port.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We took are own bags off so it was pretty smooth. Alittle misinformation but not bad.
