Rhapsody of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Dinner was always excellent. We stayed on deck two and had a large window which was neat as the morning light would wake you if you wanted it to. It is also possible to have the curtains closed if you are hung over from partying the night before. The crew on the ship was always friendly and treated us like royalty. The excursions on shore were a blast both Dunns river fall and Stingray snorkel and swim were great.

Due to hurrican Ernesto, it was necessary to change our itinerary at the last moment, but we were still able to have a wonderful time. Even though we weren't able to make our original ports we had incredibly wonderful weather the entire trip. The ship was very clean and the entire crew was friendly. The entire experience was great!

The ship was beautiful. All staff were attentive to the needs of those on board and offered assistance. The activities staff were outstanding and provided well rounded activities throughout the week. Kudos to them for organization and whit! The entertainment was top knotch and professional by well known headliners and the Cruise orchestra and singers were EXCELLENT. As a first timer, my husband and I will definitely cruise again and bring other friends and family along for the fun.

Our first impression was wow!This was our first cruise so we were a little intimidated on what to expect. But since we first got to the airport and got our transfer to the port all the staff was great our nerves eased a little and even more when we arrived to the cruise ship we started to relax, when we had questions there was always someone we could ask. We felt just like we were at home so much that we did not even feel the days pass us by.

This was my third time on Rhapsody of the Seas. I'm still amazed by the decor, service and the variety of things to do on the ship.

I thought the ship would look more up to date. It looked old and in need of a good paint job and modernization.

My husband and I along with our 13 yr. old daughter and her friend thoroughly enjoyed our cruise. We took a 7 day vacation and came back very relaxed and rested. Because you asked, the things we enjoyed were: the elegance of the ship, the roominess of the staterooms, and fewer young children, a more self-controlled group of guest--no ludeness and profanity ever that we saw. The areas for improvement I would suggest (because you asked ) would be: to encourage ALL crew members to be friendly and talkative. The head waiters and cabin attendants seemed to be focused on relationship building and were very helpful. Most others were helpful but only spoke if spoken to and didn't make conversation etc...some may think them unfriendly for that reason. We asked for adjoining rooms and were told that they didn't have them on this ship and found out from people we met on board that they did in fact have adjoining rooms. The most disappointing thing to us was the huge push on board for shopping. Shopping and sales on board the ship, several meetings to discuss sholpping at each port etc. Many people remarked about it. Most people wanted to know more about the islands or just relax. Repeat cruisers commented that it was very hook line and sinker but you learn after the first cruise. We had an awesome time. We certainly didn't go to buy jewelry, t-shirts and art---however, we did in fact end up with some! Honestly, it is a well run, clean ship with very experienced and knowledgeable crew members. It would enhance the experience for vacationers I think if the shopping push lessened, talk of the ports increased, and the crew members were encouraged to be friendly and do some random and unexpected things. My husband and I were in airline business for many years, and it is somewhat comparable when looking at needs and service etc. It would be nice for the guests if vendors could package alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for a captrive audience like that. Something similar to the soda drink cards. I just can't see that the average person could spend an average of $5.00 a drink for several drinks a day for seven days. The cruise price is worth it, but it is pricey and many couldn't afford the extra costs attached. This was our third cruise and we intend to cruise again. We even purchased a Visa card to earn rewards for Royal Carribean. Thank you for asking our opinion. We ya again soon we hope.

The food was excellent, and the excursions were great too. I wasnt crazy about Jamaica, but the Caymans and Cozumel were very good. The unlimited Coke card is well worth it for kids. The adult only indoor pool with wireless internet was what I liked the most. And the evening meals were the bomb.

This was our second cruise, Carnival last year. This ship was smaller and I really liked that about it. I didnt get lost like I did on the other one. The adult only pool was indoor and really nice. We could never do the rock wall though, either too windy or too many people signed up.

Our quarters were cleaned 2 times daily. The common areas were always clean and clutter free.

Cruising is so much fun, any ship is a vacation haven for us. We had all our children with us and they would have loved miniature golf, inline skating, ice rink or even a basketball court. This ship had very little in amenities. Kids were bored some of the time.

Easy to get around.

We had a great time. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Our room steward kept us satisfied all week with great service and the dining room waiters were very professional. Took our kids, 19, and 13. Wish there had been more for them to do, but they had a good time. Would recommend this ship to anyone.

The staff on the shipare the best we have had in all the other cruses . 8 total. Royal Carriben is the best!

The stateroom we had provided us three ladies with ample storage places and the bathroom was large enough and had a cabinet for our use also, the room was a delight to enter each night with a new surprise sculpter of towels. The meals were the best quality and quanitity. Beautifully prepared and displayed. Our dining room staff was so wonderful and the entertainment they gave us was awesome.

I would not do this cruise again.

The Rhapsody of the Seas is a beautiful ship of the perfect size - not too large but not at all crowded, even though the ship was fully booked. The wait staff was wonderful, personal, warm; the food was great!

The ship was well maintained , clean and the workers were very helpful and went out of the way to help in any way. You can tell the ship is getting older and does need alot of tlc it might need dry docked in the near future. the beds need to be more comfortable. the bathrooms need to be alittle bigger.

the service was very good,the staff very friendly. the ship was just the right size, not too big or too small.

The ship was beautiful.Everything was very easy to find and the layout of the ship was great!
