This was our first time on Rhapsody of the Seas and the only other cruise we have been on was a short 5 night cruise last year (Sydney, Melbourne, Tasmania, Sydney) - with RC Radiance of the Seas.
Firstly, Rhapsody isn't on the same level as Radiance of the Seas - we preferred Radiance over Rhapsody when we compared both ships.
Our recent trip this Month was still enjoyable and we hope the following information is helpful. We also tried to pre-pay for as much of the cruise extras before we left (i.e. wine package, spa treatments, bottled water and juice for our cabin etc). We had our elderly mother (80) with us so we wanted to make the cruise special for her and this included having water & juice in the room for her.
hallway is noisy with noise from the centrum. Noise is audible from the pool deck (runnning on the deck and live bands).
