Rhapsody of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

As previously stated I would give RCCL a C overall. With that said, being a Diamond Plus member, I have two more cruises booked on Royal which I can't get out of. I'm hoping this cruise was the exception since I can only tare it as average. From the customer service to exceptionally poor internet it was disappointing. Absolutely have to do more comparisons with Celebrity and Princess.

Overall a good cruise. Being with friends made it lovely. Food was good, service was actually the best part about the cruise. The shows were good. Overall the ports were nice as well. Some better than others. In the end, we loved: the service, food, shows, St. Lucia and St. Martin. We didn't love: the stateroom balcony not being completely private, some of the onboard activities being different than what they were supposed to be or thrown together, being stung by sea lice in Barbados with no warning from staff.

Although I had to travel alone, because my cousin (Wilfredo P. who invited me and paid the refund) had to leave the ship due to a stomach illness from the previous trip 12-19 in the same ship, I was treated very well by the ship's employees and I did not feel alone. I appreciate the treatment.

very good ship and staff . we enjoyed the cruise very much

The service was truly amazing, 5star+. Not a ton of activities due to it being a smaller ship and although we got the best sweet we could get it was a bit dated and the bed was hard and the pillows were really flat. It’s not what we were expecting in the best room on the ship but the staff made up for it because they were so hospitable

My group of 20 family members had fun of this 7 day cruise on board Rhapsody of the seas. The service staff did a great job accommodating us in the main dinning and other areas. The ship although 27 years old it's still pretty and has it's luxury look in some areas. Food and entertainment was good but yes I guess it's fair to say that it could've been better. Rooms and facilities were cleaned daily. Overall a great experience for the family.

Was disappointed with embarkation experience... did not like the fact that I had to retrieve luggage from stairwell and take to my cabin....

There were plenty of great experiences with Royal Caribbean, but the food could have been better. For instance, the food variety at Windjammer was lacking, with only two types of cheese available for the entire cruise. Additionally, the special restaurant menus remained unchanged throughout the voyage, making it sufficient to dine at each only once or twice. The fixed menu included multiple full portion entries, which seemed unnecessary and turned it into more of a double dinner menu rather than a prefixed one. I was hoping to learn about the captain and senior officers, but unfortunately, it didn't happen. The captain didn't even appear during the crew flag parade, which I found disrespectful to his own country and all passengers. The ship areas aren't very spacious, so the music, especially around the pool, could be too loud at times, which was disturbing for those trying to relax on their balconies.

Please see above for our cruise details for more information.

We liked and enjoyed everthing except the food in main dinning room, Windjammer, and the Solarium. The pizza was horrible! The Cuban sandwich was awful. The salad was ok in the Solarium.

Overall, we had a fun cruise. One major note that greatly upset us was that we booked this as a "bucket list" 7-Day Panama Canal cruise going to Costa Rica then crossing the Panama Canal. Two weeks after we booked this, they changed the cruise and dropped the Panama Canal and Costa Rica. That was the only reason we booked this cruise. We were furious. We have been loyal Royal Caribbean fans, but because of this, we are going to look at another cruise line in the future.

Almost all passengers were Israelis, which for me was like a trip abroad while staying in Israel. The ship is not very big (which I personally like) but has enough things to do while you are on it. The inside cabin size is quite small, but since were were mostly there for shower or sleeping it didn't bother us too much. Most of the crew was very attentive and nice. I would probably do it again :)

This was meant to be a trip of a lifetime. It both lived up to that and failed to meet the expectations. The sites were fascinating. The crew was fantastic. However, I do feel that Royal failed us. We were not given important information about closings (specialty restaurants, the solarium). The staff was overwhelmed with unattended children and gave up trying to enforce any kind of decorum. It felt as though there were no expectations in place to be followed and enforced.

Great staff and shore excursions! However, the ship is showing it's age with outdated rooms, poor expensive internet service, and no designated rooms to accommodate on board activities.

Highly recommended! I have shared this itinerary with a few friends after we had this wonderful experience.

For this cruise to be our honeymoon, we were extremely disappointed. We feel it was false advertising based on what we paid when we booked the cruise. We voiced our concerns to guest services while on board and were given no input or reasons as to why things were changed. We enjoyed the excursions and the service workers, but the food, people on board, and disembarkation were a nightmare. For what we paid for this trip, it was a waste of money and we would not recommend.

A great time. Nice ports to visit. Time to relax on the ship also. Good service in dining rooms.

This was the worst cruise we have been on. Worse than Carnival and all the other we have cruised with.

Great itinerary , if you are not afraid of 8 consecutive sea days |(I love sea days). Ship is of the older type, don't expect Oasis class experience, and you will enjoy the activities and entertainment

I would do this cruise again, however, with a different ship
