We have just returned from a most pleasant 7 day cruise on Rhapsody of the Seas (Feb 27-Mar 6/05 ) For my kids and I it was number 7 for my brothers and sister 1st time cruisers and they really enjoyed it.
1. Dress warm for departure out of Galveston cause it is nippy on board for the first sea-day . Does get warmer as we head further south. Same on return home . Bought light jogging pants in Key West . Coming from Canada I thought Texas was WARM in winter .. NOT SO!!! So carry extra little jogging suits with hoods.
2, Cabin size adequate for 3 with large picture window -Very enjoyable!! Kept clean and had nice towel animals every night . Big kick for my son and adults. Only problem occupied by smokers previously and smell lingered and did bother me all week in spite of air fresheners.
