Rhapsody of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Dubrovnik, Kotor and Pompei a must to visit. The ship is small compared to the more modern ships but very clean and all staff and service excellent.

Had a great cruise on December 1. It was nice to be back on a smaller ship. The staff was excellent and the ports amazing. I would cruise her again. Food and entertainment was also great.

This was our first cruise and our honeymoon. We had an amazing time and just wished it would never end.

We chose the cruise for the ports of call and we certainly weren't disappointed in either the ports, the excursions, or the amount of history gained. To put everything in perspective, it rained several days, the ship is dated, the food was OK, but it was a great cruise and we would do it again. You make the experience, not the ship, the cook, or mother nature.

This was not the normal experience I have had with Royal Caribbean. Very disappointing. Food quality was not good. My husband was flipping channels on the TV one night and they were had porn on one channel. Thank goodness I don’t have kids.

Our first ever cruise, delighted to have sailed on rhapsody for our first. A small ship but very beautiful, staff very attentive and very friendly. Staff really made our holiday that little bit more special. The food was so good, we had the deluxe drinks package and will always sail on that. This cruise was so good that we have now got the cruise bug and have 4 upcoming cruises booked

Older ship with not much for entertainment. Probably didn’t help that we were on the horizon a month before. Food was blah. Staff was excellent. Missed out call in Santorini but we received two additional ports. All in all a really good cruise. Oh and chops was awesome

We took this cruise as our 1st cruise for our 50th Anniversary. It was fantastic and am sure this will not be our last

The cruise itinerary was spectacular. However, the ship itself has very little to do on cruise days. The internet was horrific from our room. We paid for VOOM surf and stream but could barely stay connected let alone stream from our room. Very nice crew. Ship was clean except the windows (which is important on a cruise ship). Hard to find a seat in Windjammer for breakfast and lunch. All in all, we had a good time but the ship needs better activities and better use of space.

Lovely cruise around Greece & Croatia in October. Itinerary changed due to bad weather but all locations were lovely. Staff couldn’t do enough for you. Ship was spotless & well maintained. Food was excellent. A very relaxing & enjoyable week.

It is a smaller and older ship than we are used to. But we were pleasantly surprised. The service and food were excellent. Highly recommend Rhapsody of th Seas.

Overall we had a great time. Getting off and on the ship in the various ports of call went seamlessly. The wait staff at our dining table and our room steward were wonderful. The bartender in the Spa area was terrific. We look forward to our next cruise adventure.

This was our second cruise, first with Royal Caribbean. This was a vastly better experience than with MSC. The crew feel like one big happy family who are welcoming you aboard their home at sea. Although the Rhapsody of the Seas is a bit older with the odd knock and chip here and there it is still beautiful and very clean. The entertainments are great. The quality of the food especially in the main dining room is excellent, we were allocated the same table every night and Shekhar and Milos our waiters couldn’t do enough for us

Long wait to embark. Poor food quality in main dining room, no variety. More variety in the Windjammer court but food quality remains poor.

Although we had another fabulous trip on this ship, I felt compared to other vessels, this one seemed a little tired and old. It didn't help that the destinations were cooler in climate so we wern't able to use the amenities outside which in turn made the indoor activities repetitive. The atrium was small, too small for the activities planned there, it seemed the whole ship congregated there every evening. Over populated in my opinion. I witnessed 2 passengers arguing over seating on more than 1 occasion. Staff were fantastic though, very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. My preference is the ships with the promenade, lots more choice on evening entertainment.

First RC cruise. Unclean cabin windows, and had to re build 2 drawers which basically fell apart. Stayed front right of deck 4 so noise of anchor and ropes was loud and vibrated room in /out of ports. Cabin attendant did his job but hardly seen him (in/out like a flash) Other regular RC cruisers advised us to not be put off and to try a newer ship because even they had noticed the difference at how tired it looked on their return visits. (Rhapsody now the oldest in fleet) Staff pleasant and welcoming, food plentiful but similar menu every evening in anytime dining restaurant. Entertainment rather poor unless you constantly want to watch the Cruise Director if not on the stage on the TV! There was however a band named L'ements who when they were on got the crowd rocking. Formal nights not as formal as we are used to with P&O. More suits and ties for men rather than dinner suit. (So husband although looked the part felt overdressed) Itenary was great and enjoyed all ports but times in and out varied and for some felt we didn't get long enough. This ship is however ideal for those who may not want to get lost on a larger ship (why many retired people said they came back) We met some wonderful people only happy to share their cruising knowledge and look forward to revisiting RC sometime in the future but on a newer ship as recommended.

As first time cruisers we found this ship to be beautiful. The staff were excellent as were the shows and entertainment. Not many children on board and an older demographic which suited us fine!

We had an amazing time! We missed out on 2 of our planned destinations, Due to strong winds. However, the captain made up for this by staying in Athens overnight. He also added an unexpected stop to Split, Croatia. It was a wonderful experience for my wife and I.

Cruise was great, no complaints, all the staff were brilliant, food and drinks excellent, loved the casino. Staff work really hard and do a great job but did realise they need more staff at peak times.

Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. The ship is very well designed. The service was excellent. The entertainment great and the food delicious.
