Review summary

Met wonderful people! Enjoyed the time crossing! Enjoyed Las Palmas and Cococay!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Simple as pie! Arrived and boarded immediately!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
RC food is OK but not great. We certainly didn't starve but there is nothing outstanding about the main dinning room food.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Rhapsody is an older ship and does not have the bells and whistles the newer ships have. There are activities but much more sedentary.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Again, we find the stage shows, musicians and entertainment OK but nothing like the bigger ships. The level of musical talent on the smaller ships is OK. There where a couple shows that stood out, a magician and some acrobats but overall the rest were just OK.

Children's Programs

No children.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Again we found the service acceptable. Some are really excellent and others are just OK or good. Cabin steward was great, Waiters at dinner good to OK, bar staff very good and Guest Services excellent.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
For a ship that had just got out of 14 days of dry dock we found it to be very dirty. Cabin was OK but common areas nothing exceptional.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Very nice cabin. Well laid out. Very nice steward.

Ship tip

For a 14 day crossing it is great for reading and relaxation.

Ports of call

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
We had been living in Barcelona for 3 months prior to taking the cruise! Fabulous!

Lanzarote, Canary Islands

4 out of 5
Walked around downtown. Just OK.

Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands

5 out of 5
El Cid Restaurant. Best kept secret in Las Palmas! Eat art the bar!

Santa Cruz De La Palma, Canary Islands

4 out of 5
Walked around town. Nice beaches!

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
First time here. It was great. After a long crossing a nice day to drink, eat and have fun!

Tampa, Florida

5 out of 5
Spent and extra day and had a great dinner in the old part of town at Columbia Restaurant. Fantastic!

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
We were in no hurry but disembarkation was delayed for some reason we did not know about. Getting a cab was a pain as there was no organization to it.
