I chose this cruise because I wanted a family getaway. I know the Rhapsody doesn't specify in children and family, but I loved everything about the ship. My favorite part though was the shows. They were absouloutly marvelous. The cruise director Patricio was absouloutly stunning, I loved his enthusiasm. The ship was small compared to the others I've been on, such as Celebrity cruises, but Patricio enlightened the whole ship and made it seem better and bigger. He was so lovely, and I really hope he'll be my cruise director again soon. He should definitely have a promotion soon, his characteristics should get him to the Harmony of the Seas and beyond. I've actually been on the Rhapsody before, but this time it was like paradise. My last cruise director was definitely not as good as Patricio. I had a suite on this cruise so maybe that's what made it even more spectacular for me. Dining for me was also a charm, I went to Chops Grille and the meat was spectacular. We also went to Chefs Table and that was marvelous. We did so many great Shore Excursions, such as a great water park I took my kids to in Costa Maya. We also did a great beach break in Roatan. There was also a spectacular Ruins tour in Belize. Cozumel honestly we just went to the beach. The waters were crystal aqua, I loved it and so did my kids and my husband. I would definitely go on the Rhapsody again with my kids. My kids thought just the same as me and they would love to go again as well. However we did not go to explore the city of the embarkation. My husband, kids, and I were so glad to be there and so sad to leave. Though we were very surprised at how smoothly getting on and off went. Thank you so much again Patricio. If you read my review then I hope you decide to go on the great Rhapsody of the Seas.
