Rhapsody of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

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 However, the ship is showing it's age with outdated rooms, poor expensive internet service, and no designated rooms to accommodate on board activities.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

My partner & I had never cruised before so were nervous about taking this trip because, it would be a long time to be stuck on a boat, if we discovered that we didn't like cruising. Luckily, the ship's entertainment, service crew, and beautiful port destinations made it all so enjoyable that we never had time to get restless or home sick. Thank you very much for a great first time experience.

First time cruising with Royal Caribbean and was not impressed. Will give them another go on a newer, larger ship and see if our impression of this cruise line changes.

Most definitely need to work on menu options in windjammers - could use a pizza buffet- no Cigar smoke in the casino IS a must.

If you have been spoiled on larger size ships you might be underwhelmed with the size of this ship. It’s much smaller and overall the entertainment was second rate.

Overall, great cruise. Glad to see a cruise departing from Barbados. Counting Barbados, the cruise visited 9 islands in 11 days. Well worth the money.

It was awesome I had a great time. I met new friends on the ship from different countries.

We enjoyed visiting these countries and the comfort of the cruise ship.

Please see above for my brief overview of the cruise.

Had a wonderful time and met some amazing people!!!

I'd been to the Caribbean many times, but this itinerary is, by far, the best I'd been on, which is why I chose it. It took care of all the parts I'd never been to. The ship is beautiful and well maintained, even though it's smaller than others I'd been on, meaning less to do on the ship, but, ...a) you're not on the ship that much, and...b) I really wanted to rest. The ship filled my purposes more than adequately. The minuses were evident. a) Food- sub par. Beautifully presented, but lacked taste. The desserts LOOKED great, but lacked taste...same with the main meals. While there was abundant CHOICES, all the CHOICES were available ALL the time; thus, it got redundant. Switch it up a bit, please. - b) By far, the low point of the cruise was the entertainment. Sub par bands, comedians, etc. - I would rate the entertainment on board as the lowest I've experienced. Sorry guys, but, I dont know if it's cost-cutting but you've GOT to up your game here. As I said above, I chose this cruise because of the itinerary, and boy, I was NOT disappointed. You really get to see a lot. Onboard, I spent most of the days in the adult indoor pool - VERY relaxing. Staff -as I said above, staff & service were the best I've seen -much better than my other RCL cruises and just as good as Holland's. One more thing - if you get a chance to get a good deal on internet - TAKE IT ! The onboard prices are ridiculous; the internet costs more than the cruise base price itself- (yes, really !) In short, very few hiccups on the cruise. Were it not for the entertainment issue, I'd give it a A-plus. Service and ports were the highlights.

Great port intensive cruise. Would have preferred a different port than Trinidad but mostly because it takes way to long to get anywhere by vehicle.
