Rhapsody of the Seas Review

Additional details
Concierge and dining were the highlights of my cruise. Accessibility via wheelchair is difficult on the elevators, but after the first day use the forward elevators if you have a wheelchair or need for them. The centrum elevators are heavily used. It is a gorgeous ship, and staff is friendly & helpful. The port staff didn't seem coordinated with the check in process, and it was very crowded. Seating is limited at Tampa, FL while waiting for the ship after check in. This is a perfect size ship if you want a shorter hallways; I remember looking down the hall and saying it's a lot shorter walk down this corridor than the Voyager or Freedom Classes. This ship does feature the Coca Cola Freestyle machines. I really liked the Solarium, and how the roof was always closed. I do like the indoor style pools rather than the outdoor because they are more quite.
Cabin Review
Grand Suite
Cabin was very well maintained for its age; I was impressed. The doors do feel their age, but appearance isn't bad; they do rub and make noise when operating. The cabin does get a little noisy, but normally stops by midnight (sliding sounds from the deck above...chairs?) The balcony is very large. I was not impressed with the loungers, and upon investigation all the suites had the same loungers next to me (same plastic ones from the pool deck)...good thing was you can fit two of them on the deck along with the table and two chairs. Window wall was incredible!! No wonder it's called the Vision Class. I will say I liked this Grand Suite a lot, and the windows made the views even better than any GS I've had.
