Great Crew and Staff

May

Pros: Friendly staff and engaging activities

Cons: Overall entertainment could have been a bit more elevated. Too many shows relying on entertainment team as opposed to more headliners. A comedian would have been welcome to break up the consecutive music themed shows.

Recommended: Yes

Food and service at the main dining room and specialty restaurants were very good. We mostly kept away from the buffet due to crowds and commotion. Food at the buffet was generally what you’d expect at that type of venue and a bit sub-par. Activities were quite fun and the entertainment team did a great job engaging the audience and getting people out of their shells. Orlando, the activities director, was a riot and had the crowd howling at his antics and quips. We laughed a lot at these events and enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Anniversary Cruise

April

Pros: It was a smaller ship

Cons: Older ship, needs updates

Recommended: Yes

We had a wonderful time. The staff and excursions were wonderful. We loved every minute of our time on the Rhapsody of the Seas. The weather was unbelievable and we really enjoyed the little piece of heaven! Our room attendant was awesome- Ready Freddy! And our dining staff greeted us with smiles and happy comments always eager to cater to us. Roman and Arismendy

Greece adventure

June

Pros: Dinners and the service were excellent. Entertainment was fantastic

Cons: Lunch and breakfast not so great

Recommended: Yes

I loved all the ports except Athens. I took one tour to Athens through the ship and was very disappointed. Our tour guide was awful. The dinning experience for dinner was excellent. The food for both breakfast and lunch was disappointing.

Solo Traveler

December

Pros: Stingray in Grand Cayman, Room attendant was awesome

Cons: Room service food was cold and tasteless. Soda at bars was gross.

Recommended: Yes

Christmas was fun. Santa included. Room service was slow and food was cold and tasteless. Bought the soda package and it didn’t include water. Destinations were nice. Lady at coffee shop was not friendly. Was not able to go to Key West- port closed due to bad weather. Most bartenders were nice. Casino was good. Comedy show was good. Art auctions were fun. My time dinning called and checked on me- wonderful customer service. Overall pretty good!

Enjoyable Cruise - But

November

Pros: smaller ship get to know more people and crew

Cons: entertainment and things yo do limited by size of ship

Recommended: Yes

enjoyed the ports, weather was great, hygiene not so good a lot of guests did not seem to agree that it was as much down to them as anyone else to keeps as many germs at bay as possible by using hand sanitising provided by the cruise line. Crew were great in the bars, dining and staterooms, officers not very visible and had there own favourite guests or were only being nice to the moaners not sure which! Entertainment - have seen better on other ships i the fleet.
