This was our 3rd cruise with Royal Caribbean, strangely enough our first close to home. We have previously cruised on Radiance and Splendour and enjoyed Rhapsody which is a similar size and layout to Splendour. We do however prefer the larger Radiance class ships, with their extra dining venues. In saying that we enjoyed the quality and variety of food, particularly the desserts and the fresh fruit muesli in the Windjammer.
EMBARKATION: We were amazed at the smoothness of the check in process we encountered. From dropping our bags off to boarding the ship, the process took less than 30 minutes. It was lovely walking around Rhapsody's top deck on a lovely sunny day and taking in the sights of Sydney's Circular Quay.
SHIP: Rhapsody (like other Royal Caribbean ships we have travelled on) is kept in beautiful condition. The ship is light and airy particularly the Centrum.
