Recently I had the pleasure to go on the rhapsody of the seas to Fiji ,some where I had not been before. After flying from Brisbane to Sydney I caught the airport train straight to circular quay easy done. No problem at all.
I had sailed with Royal Caribbean before and had no complaints. Because I was a crown and anchor member I had a speedy embarkation amazing really well worth it. I literally walked straight past all the long queues and straight onboard. So that was easy
I was told there was lunch being served in the windjammer so went to try that out. Not disappointed , plenty to choose from and lots of it. Very friendly staff. After lunch my room was ready so I freshened up and put my cruise card on left everything but the camera in the room and went up on deck.
Ocean view cabin deck 3 Everything as expected. No noise. Mid ship.
On another cruise I had an inside cabin on the same ship because it was only 3 nights on that one. But even though there was nothing wrong with the cabin itself, I can't stand being in a black hole you don't know what time it is. I just love waking up to the sun and the ocean in the outside cabins. I also have been lucky enough to try a balcony once a few yrs ago. And it was wonderful no air conditioning just open the door and listen to the sea at night.
