First time cruisers looking for escape and relaxation, we found the Rhapsody of the Seas exceeded our expectations. In a Junior Suite on the forward starboard side we had wonderful, relaxing views of the awesome scenery and ocean life. Boarding early, we were able to switch to My Time dining and were accommodated with a table for two almost every evening. Our cabin attendants and wait staff were amazing and epitomized customer service and hospitality. Junior Suite (8530)had a great balcony, beds were reasonably
comfortable with excellent bedding, club chairs and sofa need to be
updated soon. Plenty of nooks and crannies to store all of the contents
Junior Suite (8530)had a great balcony, beds were reasonably comfortable with excellent bedding, club chairs and sofa need to be updated soon. Plenty of nooks and crannies to store all of the contents of our luggage in addition to the closet. Wish the room had a clock - pack one if knowing the time is important. Bathroom took some getting used to; for someone of short stature, getting in the tub the first few times was a challenge and grab bars are not appropriately placed! Room was very quiet - we kept the sliding door open a bit every night and the ocean lulled us to sleep. The view was magnificent - saw lots of whales and porpoises from both the sofa and balcony.
