This is my first time using a review site of any kind, but thought i would share my Rhapsody Of the Seas experience.

Leaving the hotel at 11am for my midday boarding as advised by my embarkation details, (clearly the guests on the week previous cruises on other RCI ships didn't read their info correctly, having seen the news broadcasts with people lined back to Circular Quay)I was meet as soon as i got out of the taxi by a porter who took my bag and directed me to the priority boarding agents, who very quickly walked me through and past the line of people again who clearly didn't read their boarding times, and i was very quickly given by Sea-Pass card and directed to the gangway for boarding, so from the time of my taxi arrival to the time i was sitting in the Centrum with a Starbucks Hot Chocolate was under 15mins.
