We just returned from 7 day Alaska cruise on Rhapsody, and we enjoyed it so much. I was a little leery about the ship from previous reviews and her age, but the service onboard and general feeling of friendliness and warmth overshadowed anything else negative.
EMBARKATION - Very easy. Walked right on ship & to stateroom at 1:00 pm. Luggage delivered within the hour.
KIDS PROGRAM - Outstanding. Best of any Princess or RCI ship we have been on. Incredible staff & facilities just fine. My 9 year BEGGED to stay there all day and into the night ( and she is typically shy & not that excited about things like this). Great variety of activities and they keep the kids so busy & happy.
Good space, nice bar & closet area. Fantastic windows across entire wall. Balcony wide, but not deep.
