We just returned from our Alaskan cruise on Rhapsody of the Seas. This was our 3 rd time cruising with Royal Caribbean -once on the Mariner and once on the Oasis(too big for our personal taste but the amenities were wonderful). We are an average middle class family of three 2 adults with 1 five year old daughter, and grandparents came too.

Food:

Dinning Room - We had requested 5:30 dinner and. Table for 5. When we got our sea pass cards we noticed we did have 5:30 Dinner but we were at 3 separate tables. So down to the dinning Room we did go to find a long line of others with similar problems. The one trying to fix the problems was not the Maître De but just a waiter who had his hands full. We started talking with others and figured we could all probably fix our own dilemmas much quicker and some people did. We waited for over an our for our turn to be told by this waiter that our tables were next to each other and would be pushed together- really- someone couldn't have told me that before I waited for an hour. We LOVED our server and the food was good too. Training a brand new assistant waiter took a few days but he got it by the 4th day;) We had steaks, prime rib, salmon, chicken, shrimp cocktail, salads, and the cold soup was always a treat. The little one had pizza every night but not for lack of choices on a separate kids menu. The desserts were always a treat- but we are dessert lovers at put house.

Cabin Review

Good room large enough for our needs and great to have a balcony! Bathroom showers are way to small and hated that the shower curtain stuck to you every time you go to turn around but other than that it's what to be expected on a boat. The room flexes and creakes at night, which my husband hated. But our biggest complaint was the sliding door to the balcony made a huge racket when out in the open seas banging against itself. We had to retro fit it with some folded paper in the middle of the night to get it to stop enough for us to sleep.
