We recently cruised on the "Rhapsody of the Seas" out of Galveston, Texas and she was wonderful. We were four couples from Edmonton Alberta Canada. We decided on the "Rhapsody of the Seas" because we had friends that had cruise on her just a month before. They spoke very highly of this ship out of Galveston, Texas. So on their recommendation we decided on the "Rhapsody" as our ship and Galveston for two pre-cruise nights..
Non of us had ever been to Texas before. We read up on Galveston and Houston, and this just seem to be the perfect place to start our cruise.
Our departure Sunday started a little cloudy, at 12 noon our hotel provided the eight of us a with a free transfer to the ship, which was only a five minute ride from the hotel. Our check in on the "Rhapsody" went smoothly, our bag arrived at our cabins about the same time as we did. We unpacked our bags, met up with the rest of our party and then set out to find our way around the ship.
