We just returned from our 7 nights on the Rhapsody. We have done basically the same itinerary to Alaska on Princess, NCL, and now RCI. I decided to try the RCI Rhapsody because everybody seems to be so loyal to RCI. The ship had just been refurbished so I was eager to check it out. We traveled with a 6 year old and an infant.
Pros:
Kids club is superb say hi to "Grandpa" up in in the kid's club. They are great. Programs keep kids busy,and they even do a great talent show and pirate show for the passengers.
4451 & 4453 are directly under the casino and we could hear it but it wasn't bad. Good location to both elevators though in mid-ship. Easy to get to buffet and to main dining from that location.
