We have sailed with RC the second time, last year we sailed The Harmony. So, we tried not to compare The Rhapsody with The Harmony because these are two different worlds of ships.
Boarding and leaving the ship went very smoothly as did transfers, all very well organised. The food in the Windjammer did not compare to the previous cruise, there was very little choice and pretty much the same each day. The food in the main dining room was very good. Service from waiters and the room attendant was first class. VOOM worked well the whole cruise. The entertainment could have been better. The Cruise Director and the Activities Manager should act more as what they are here for (Director and Manager) and not try to be actors or comedians themselves.
It was annoying that everywhere, including dining areas, photographers trying to take pictures. Drinks packages are overpriced and you had to pay extra, when the price of the glass of wine or cocktail was over 12$, thought that was a bit of a rip off due to the price of the all-inclusive package.
Cabin was small but adequate; service from room attendant was first class.
Boarding and leaving the ship went very smoothly.
Few port facilities.
The scenery was very pretty.
