Rhapsody of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I would highly recommend going on this itinerary. It had the best cruise destinations we've ever been on.

Ship really needs updating. The crew was great always friendly and helpful.

It was our first cruise. We had a fantastic time. Booking another for next year. Couldn't fault anything about ship, staff

Rhapsody of the Seas and the 7 night Greek trip out of venice is amazing! The food in the main dining room was good especially with my time dining. We also did the chef's table which is a great time everytime. A little weak on entertainment....but there was typically a dance party somewhere on the ship after 8. Getting on & off the ship was easy and not much of a wait. The boat was very diverse (families, couples, all ages and diversity). That makes it great as we made great friends from Scotland, Spain, South Africa, Brazil, etc.

We stayed on interior room 2625. It was very quiet, very spacious and had a lot of room for storage, there was storage space we didn't use! The shower in the bathroom always had the sounds of running water, although there was no water running.

The bartenders up in the Viking lounge especially Allen R. and Christopher...you’re all Legends!! Thank you so much for your excellent service. Outstanding!!

Interesting ports of call (although excursions started way earlier than I had expected (6:45 was not unusual!)), fabulous staff and entertainment. If you go during the summer, expect temperatures in the high 90's so take plenty of water, and maybe a water bottle strap, and have a few Euro coins with you as the public restrooms charge. I wished I had done my own exploring in Olympia rather than the excursion. The guide had to rush through some parts to stay on the schedule that I wanted to see more, and spent time in other parts that I didn't find interesting. The excursion in Kotor took us through a series of 25 switchbacks that made me nauseous, so again, I wished I had explored on my own. The activities staff had a good number of activities but not all were well attended, not sure why. The entertainment was top notch! I would recommend this cruise itinerary!

The cruise is really for the younger crowd as it has a lot of beach visits on the islands not much in the way of towns more like small villages

We loved the 28th July cruise experience and highly rated the ship itself. There was plenty for us to do and the main restaurant- food and service were excellent. I would stress the very hardworking staff were wonderful. We enjoyed the shows too. The only issues we had were shore based - long queues in baking heat - (e.g. over an hour at underground lake on the Argostoli stop) but that’s a seasonal issue and we just couldn’t do the trip in cooler, less busy times. Also getting on sea bus at Mykonos, to return to ship, was a nightmare of poor signage and even felt dangerous - but that is all quite independent of Royal Caribbean- them I could not fault and would do it all again ASAP if I could afford it!

Rhapsody was a very clean ship. I think it’s time that the interiors get a little more revamping though especially with what all the newer ships are looking like. It is however always clean. The staff were typical of Royal Caribbean and always above and beyond, and always doing their best to make sure you have a great experience. Would be cool to see a little bit more stuff on the top deck, they only have the one pool. We were on this for a 7 day cruise, so we were actually off the ship for 4 of the days in Greece, Montenegro, and Croatia. Food was very good on the ship!

10/10 to the members of staff mentioned. Maria, Jose Melvin and Beatriz. Thank you for an amazing experience

The ship was nice, just old and the crew was mostly great. Main dining room was excellent with great service. Schooner, shall we dance bars had great bartenders. Martin class was great

The cruise was a beautiful experience for the entire family and friends' group

We were a group of 10 who previously traveled on cruises with Royal Caribbean. Past experiences were great. Seems like they are cutting back on the quality and abundance of food. Breakfast buffet was the same every day, greasy fatty bacon, fake eggs swimming in liquid, food in dining room was cafeteria food quality. Gone are the late night buffets and abundance of food. Only 1 place open after 9pm offered hot dogs with stale buns, cardboard pizza and salad. Same thing for the entire cruise! Luckily my mom had a suite which offered free room service. We spent a lot of time in the room ordering late night snacks. Otherwise there was nothing to eat! Never have I been on a cruise where the food was sparse and quality was horrible. Pools and hot tubs closed at 9pm too. Very surprising for Royal Caribbean.

This was our first cruise with Royal Caribbean, and will surely not be the last. This was an amazing experience!! A vacation we'll never forget and will surely be back for more!!

The junior suites at the rear of the ship vibrate constantly when the ship is at or near 20 knots. The first four days we found it very difficult to sleep. Once the ship slowed down, the vibrating stopped.

I love the ship and the staff, but disappointed with the excursions.

Nice Cruise ! Staff very polite and professional... I enjoy it very much ! Pool a bit small but not a big problem. Food very diversified at Windjammer buffet.

We had a great time on the Rhasopdy loved the carabean band & singer/band in the atrium. Loved the game shows & 70s night was great too. The entertainment team were all great & involved themselves with everyone . Loved the way the whole team of staff & captain were also involved in activities and very accessible. Food in Windjamer was ok plenty of choice, but sometimes only warm and dry. Food in MDR was ok but , repetative menu. Bar staff excellent exspecially around the pool area, constantly asking if you need more drink also bringing different cocktails to try. Staff in general all very helpful & professional. Inside cabin rather dated needs some upgrade, as does some parts of the ship. Iterinary good but needed longer at Split & Corfu leaving at 3pm not really enough time to see much. Katakolon tender slow and a little disorganised meaning little time at port. We enjoyed our first time on Royal Carabean but certain parts of this ship need attention, and not too sure about the windjamer cafe. Celebrity cruises buffet is far nicer and food is cooked fresh.

Ports were great. Could use a few more dedicated lounges and the Windjammer food was horrid. First cruise I have ever been on that offered nearly no variety from day to day. Pizza was not edible and the hot dog buns were kept on a heat lamp which dried them out.
