Rhapsody of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We had an amazing honeymoon on Rhapsody. The staff was attentive and friendly. Our favorites were Max and John the baristas, Adriana the main dining hostess on the 5th floor, Dominic & Paul Dan the servers in the main dining room on the 5th floor. Our cabin was kept clean and other than the service elevator and hallway right behind our room, it was generally quiet. The food was wonderful in the main dining room, I’m a huge fan of escargot and had that every night. The staff at the spa was professional and helpful, I got acupuncture from Dr.Wong, he’s magical! My neck pain was gone for the trip which helped me enjoy it more! I had some sinus issues while onboard and I went to medical on the 1st floor, the nurse was super nice and gave me choices for treatment. It’s wonderful to see them taking good care of the guests! I could go on and on about the personalized service from the staff, which is why I love cruising and also why my husband and I love the smaller ships.

Rhapsody of the Seas to the Western Caribbean was my first cruise and I have nothing to compare this experience with. We had an adequately sized interior cabin on level 2, mid-ship. Largely quiet and comfortable. Our stateroom attendant was Romeo and he always seemed to be there when needed. Staff were always polite and attentive. We enjoyed each of the ports in different ways. We preferred the Edelweiss MDR food to that of the Windjammer buffet. Best of all, Chops Grill. Plenty of distractions onboard, if one cares to participate. We were with extended family, and would often entertain ourselves. It’s a great ship to relax on. If it’s hustle and bustle you want, you might be happier with a larger class ship. Personally, I found the loud music in the Centrum area distractingly loud. One could not converse over the music. That said, I really enjoyed my time onboard Rhapsody I wouldn’t hesitate to board her again to go on one of her Greek island journeys … Though, I would not purchase their wi-fi package again. My one and only disappointment with the ship. It doesn’t work for everyone, everywhere...like my stateroom.

I loved the smaller ship experience. The service was outstanding and everything was clean and in working order despite the ship being on the older side. The food quality in the Windjammer and Main Dining Room was not consistent, but was mostly good...and great for being complimentary. The specialty restaurants were outstanding. The crew and staff were wonderful all around. There aren’t tons of fancy amenities on this ship, but it was just right for us—a younger couple not interested in a lot of partying or extra onboard activities—on a port-heavy itinerary with only 2 sea days. The Solarium is something I was looking forward to, but it was unbearably hot and smelled so strongly of chlorine we didn’t go there except to grab food. The main pool and hot tubs were pretty crowded when everyone wasn’t in port, so I didn’t get to use them as much as I planned. All in all, I am sure it’s not perfect for everyone but I would definitely sail on Rhapsody again.

Nice relaxing get away, no hassels, enjoyed each day.

This was one of our best cruises, and we have been on a few. YES, the room was small but this was expected on a small ship. It was clean, food, crew and entertainment were great. Ports of call, fabulous. BEST CRUISE EVER.

We had a great time. Loved the art auctions. The solarium bar was our favorite(no children). Just wish we could have visited costa maya.

Had a fabulous time in the Western Caribbean aboard the Rhapsody. Choosing “My Time” Dining meant our own private table and the food was really good, no need for specialty restaurants in my opinion. What was truly exceptional was the entertainment- the comedian, James, was so good we went to both of his shows and, yes, there was new material in his second. The singers and dancers were amazing, especially the couple from Ukraine. Our recommendation- sit near the front of the theatre, the personalities of performers just shine through their facial expressions.

Overall a good cruise. Seas were rough but that wasn’t the cruise lines fraught.

Been on five RCCL cruise. This is rated number 5. Service was great. Ship is older but fun. Entertainment was above average. Savannah Jack was five stars plus.

I loves the places we went. I don’t really like this small of a ship but met many new friends.

Just loved our cruise ! the Crews Director Eric and the Activities Director Gemmy was on fire! So fun energetic and made the crews!

7 nights western Caribbean in Rhapsody of the Seas was absolutely wonderful!!!

Big things come in small packages. Where the Rhapsody lacks amenities they make up for in service. I rated it with four stars simply because the ships lacks some of the features I have grown accustomed to such as slides, flow riders, zip lines, etc. Additionally, the one bar I enjoy the most had shows happening all the time in the Centrum, so it was noisy all the time.

I am so glad we choose the Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas ship to go on for our first cruise. Wonderful experience and want to go again.

One of our favorites. We love the mid to smaller ships. Mega ships are not for us

The cruise was great, with the exception of the main dining room, we had a great time.

Love the smaller ships, GREAT skipper. The old girl is starting to show her age but the staff works hard to make up for that. Stewards were a little disappointing, bartenders are on point.

We received exceptional service by staff, and had great excursions at each port.

this was our first cruise and it was wonderful. I did not feel that roton was a good stop but loved the other port we were at. I thought a few more shore excursions could be a little more handicap friendly

Older people cruise, Jr suite not worth the money. Had a good time.
