First let me say that this is the second time on the Rhapsody and she is still our favorite ship even without the CL/Diamond Lounge and the specialty restaurants. We took my son and his SO along for their first cruise ever and they were not disappointed.
Embarkation:
Everything went fairly smoothly had to wait in a long line to board the ship but the line kept moving and from the time that we dropped off our bags to being greeted on the ship was no more than 30 minutes.
