I chose this ship for the destination, but the ship and the staff of the Rhapsody of the Seas made this vacation for us. It was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable week vacations I have ever taken. From the moment we stepped onto the ship to the time we left, everything was organized and the service was excellent. The port of Tampa was a great place to leave from and made getting on and off the ship a breeze. The food on the ship was excellent (even the windjammer buffet) and the dining room staff was friendly and attentive. The ports of call were great. We did two excursions through Royal Caribbean (in Roatan and Belize) and they were well worth the cost. We did excursions on our own in Costa Maya and Cozumel and they were excellent as well. In Costa Maya we went through "Maya Trips, Island Marketing" to Chacchoben and a butterfly farm...it was awesome. And in Cozumel we went to the Hacienda Antigua Tourist Park.....which I HIGHLY recommend. Also...all of the food in the ports was amazing. If you have the opportunity to take this cruise....GO! You will not be disappointed in the Rhapsody of the Seas and these ports.
