Rhapsody of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Good overall cruise was good but I had to point out the little things like the dirty garbage can lids, the smoke in the centrum and the bad service in the 5th deck main dining. 32 cruises overall 16 with Royal. I believe I was truthful and fair with this review.

This cruise was a great value. The food, service, and ports visited were really a treat. I did this as a last hurrah before starting graduate school and it was a great choice. The last day we had rough seas, but we were still able to enjoy a movie in the theatre, bingo and a final dinner with our great waiter Boris!

Probably won't sail Rhapsody again for a long time. We have been on the other ships in this category several times and loved them. This one just didn't have the same feel. Everything just felt lack luster, from the food to the activities to the staff. Just didn't get a great vibe.

We went on this cruise to visit Mayan cultural sites and spend time with our family. The ship, however, was below our expectations. It really shows its age and is in need of an upgrade to compete with other cruise lines.

Not ever going to cruise with RCL. Not ever going to cruise with RCL. Not ever going to cruise with RCL. Not ever going to cruise with RCL. Not ever going to cruise with RCL.

Enjoyed cruise and liked the ports of call. There was not much food to get after 3pm-5:30pm. Not much at midnight either. Most ships have food and snacks during the day and nigh.

Overall good cruise, older crowd (60-70’s) chops disappointing, but dining room food was good. Entertainment was better than average. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

The fact that the women in our party didnt have chairs pulled for them was a total bummer, RC usually is amazing at dinner. This trip the dinner experience was horrible. The head waiter was very good but she is only one person.

Food wasnt great in main dining. Cafe food was just ok. Pool too small and overcrowded. Not much in way of shopping variety onboard. Entertainment options minimal. Dining Service staff paid extra special attention only on last 2days

Expected 6 days at sea because of seas that were too high in Bahamas we did not stop. We were not offered any compensation for not stopping at this port.

One thing I want to see is to have my bill delivered in an envelope. Food isn't the dinning room and buffet needs to improve. Need better selection and quality. Coffee is way too strong.

Rhapsody of the Seas was the WORST cruise I have ever been on. I must note that I have been on four other RoyalCaribbean ships and never had a single complaint on any of them. So not sure if this was just a rare occurrence, but read on, and you'll see just how horrible my experience was on the Rhapsody. First, the VROOM "high-speed" internet was extremely unreliable and far from being high-stream. We were mostly unable to connect at all to the internet, and we could, the speed was very, very slow. We were so frustrated with the service and spoke with the internet manager who was very cold and possessed a horrible attitude. She said either cancel the VROOM package immediately or wait and see if the internet gets better. I eventually requested a refund from the Front Desk Manager. Second, the soda machines in the Wind Jammer Cafe were not working during the entire length of the cruise. I purchased the unlimited coke package before boarding the ship and was shocked to see only the machine on the 6th deck, center atrium, working fine. I was either told by the beverage staff in the Windjammer to either go to the 6th deck to get soda, buy the cans available from them, or drink the consistently flat and horribly tasting soda they had in bottles. Third, the temperature in our cabin was inconsistent and uncomfortable. At first, it was too cold and we requested a technician to come by and fix the matter. The next day, the room became too hot (regardless of our setting) and we had to request another technician to come by and finally resolve the issue. Fourth, one evening I was ill and missed the dinner seating in the main dinning area on the 5th deck by a few minutes. The maître d' or head waiter at that moment (a gentleman) informed me the kitchen was closed and there was nothing they could have done. I was disappointed and we decided to go to the 4th deck main dinning area and the nice head waiter was kind enough to retriever a full course meal for me. I could not understand why the man on the 5th deck dinning room was so cold and and uncooperative, and yet, was happy to receive such amazing service from the other man in the 4th deck main dinning area. More disappointments included the very poor quality of food at the Windjammer Cafe, Park Cafe and main dinning area (had experienced higher quality foods on other RoyalCaribbean cruises), and the Windjammer Cafe being closed in early afternoon after we arrived back on the ship from an excursion organized by RoyalCaribbean. We were also dismayed, ALTHOUGH WE REALIZE NO FAULT OF ROYAL CARIBBEAN'S, that Cococay was canceled due to inclement weather and sea waves, as well as taking almost four hours to exit the ship when we arrived in Tampa. We understand that Royal Caribbean had no control over these matters, but after all of the negative experiences previously mentioned, it was like pouring salt on an open wound.

Wasn't our best. Everything we loved on Sereande of the seas except the crew had dropped in quality. RC used to give good info on local transport and now it was all about their shuttles, which always cost more than the local transport. getting off the ship on first stop were forced to wait until all the paying people were off. We didn't stop at CocoCay, no compensation , not even a free drink. Worst was lying about the CBP was the reason we were let on disembarking, when the truth from CBP was that they didn't get the bags off on time, and there people picked who leaves and when.

Overall dated but very well kept ship. Staff for the most part are amazing but many ancillary services (Guest Services: Poor) not living up to customer focus.

Our dining experience was great and the ports of call are very good. Halloween night was incredibly fun too. Other than that, there is much to improve on this cruise ship. I'm glad I had a chance to visit these ports, but wish I had chosen a different cruise line.

Overall it was a great experience. The cruise allows you to see a lot of Europe and explore what you might want to go back to. We love the cruise experience b/c it also allows one place to unpack rather than living out of a suitcase for the week.

A great itinerary starting in Venice and ending up in Barcelona with just 2 sea days which were used to rest from the port intensive cruise. The food was fine with some meals being better than the others, but all were fine.

Royal Caribbbean ruined their reputation with thisncruise and more refunds need to be made to make me ever trust the cruise line again. Absolutely my poorly handled and terrible service.

The absolute worst display of unorganized chaos -- not the ship's fault that fog caused an 8 hour delay -- the chaos was the way they tried or didn't try to fix the problem. Main dining room had terribly SLOW service and mediocre food. The Buffet was superb. Guest relations is understaffed and NEED TO BE RELOCATED - to an area not near the LOUD music.

Overall excellent but really pissed that there is no free wifi on board and we were forced to buy wifi services which did not always work. This was a huge disappointment and Royal Caribbean should discontinue the practise and offer free wifi on board.
