Rhapsody of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

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!

The ship was on the whole well maintained. However the sink in our cabin had cracks around the drain. The mattresses were thin and hard. The food in the main dining room was excellent. Our waiter knew which dishes were the best and I enjpyed his recommendations. We appriciated the chance to buy a reasonable wine package which we enjoyed with our dinners, Since we like to read, we always check out the ship's library. Unfortunately half the shelves were empty, there wasn't a librarian and the books were old and in poor condition.

I don't think I found anything negative about our total experience.

Ship very clean and easy to get around on. We knew where everything was by the end of the first day.Beautifully decorated. Service was not what we were used to, i.e. normally both dining and cabin stewards called us by name on the first day and all thru the cruise. We thought the food was fine but again not as exceptional as we were used to. Sat in tender way too long while waiting to reboard ship, it was very hot inside and hard to breath.

Overall this ship was very nice. It did not have the glitter of another ship I have been on, but that does not bother me. There was a lot to do when you wanted to do something and there was also the peace and quiet you wanted when you wanted peace and quiet.

A truly wonderful family vacation. The staff was excellent. From the wait staff and room attendants to the Children's activities staff, Everyone was delightful, professional, and there to make our cruise the best vacation possible. I traveled with a family of eight ranging from a grandmother down to a seven year old. Each an every one of us agreed it was the best vacation of our lives. Great food, Great service, Great accommodations, and Great weather. I wouldn't have traded it for anything. (Except maybe a longer cruise)

Beautiful ship Alot to do.

The ship was beautiful, clean, service great. Pool area alittle to small, with not enough sitting/laying out areas. The children's activities were great but would have loved to see more family thing to do during the day while at see. The kids got bored during the day while at sea. But overall a great family vacation, and would definetly cruise with children again.

From the moment we were dropped off at the terminal we were impressed by the efficiency. A ground hostess saw me coming leaning on my cane and she took us to the head of the line. Twenty minutes later we were boarding the ship and found our cabin ready. After luncheon in the Windjammer Cafe we found our luggage outside the door. The breakfast selections at the Windjammer Cafe were very varied and tasty and the seating wonderful. Luncheon at the cafe was a little repetitous but tasty. Dinner in the diningroom was a culinary adventure, the wine selections were very good and the service the two ladies provided was delightful. Based on previous experience we had requested a table for two, but these are not available. We shared a large table with two other couples and enjoyed their company. We took two shore excursions, skipping Cozumel since we know it quite well. Most tours sold out quickly but in Georgetwon were numerous independent tour busses. The nightclub shows were very entertaining and we enjoyed them. I was looking rather forward to a "Captain's reception but it did not take place. (On several other cruises we were invited to the Captain's table for dinner. All in all- a wonderful experience.

We thought the cruise was average. There was definitely nothing outstanding, and I felt that the boat was in average repair. It definitely could use some repairs. There was a need for new carpet almost everywhere, and paint and or repairs to the walls were needed too.

FOOD WAS GREAT AS WELL AS THE ENTERTAINMENT, ENJOYED PORTS OF CALL. WEATHER WAS PERFECT. VERY EASY GETTING ON AND OFF SHIP IN GALVESTON.
