Hard to Recommend Rhapsody |
Jun 2008 |
|
While my review may seem overly critical, we still had a great time on our trip. I think it is important to report the good with the bad so that is what I have tried to do in this review. The cruise was good, but it wasn't the "wow" that I've come to expect from Royal Caribbean. Overall, I don't think I can recommend this cruise. |

Rhapsody - A Great Time |
Feb 2007 |
|
Intended as a five day cruise with two ports. Rough weather played its hand, so only a one port visit. Still, a great time on a beautiful ship with an outstanding crew. |

Easy Cruise |

In summary this was a great value for a 7-day cruise. I would shy away from scheduling in Aug - Oct due to all the hurricane activity. Feb-Mar (excluding Spring break weeks) are ideal. I highly recommend especially to those that can drive to the port in Galveston. Parking is great and getting on and off the ship is done rather painlessly. |

Expected More? |

This was not a bad cruise by any means.....it just did not measure up to the Princess Line. A great cruise is defined by the "little things". Rhapsody just didn't have the "little things". |

First Timer, Good, and Not |

|
We had a very good time even not getting to stop at ports we had signed up for. They did try to make it up to us by selecting other ports to go to. Would recommend this ship to others. |

Not too bad |

Our experience was average: average food, average service, average amenities. Look for a cruise with at least four ports. |

Cruising out of Texas with Bob |

Very inexpensive cruise, with good vacation value and geared for "middle-of-the-road" families, not just the "jet set" or "senior citizens". You get what you pay for! |

First Class Cruise on Rhapsody |

Our cruise was perfect in every way. Even the shore excursions were excellent. The entire staff was extra helpful and all of the passengers were treated like royalty. Fabulous and plentiful food. |

I highly recommend this cruise; the best was SERVICE, FOOD and SHOWS. The thing to skip were the onshore excursions. |

We had a great time, and will go again (since we are from Texas, sailing from Galveston is very convenient). |
