Additional details
In writing this review, I would like to concentrate mainly on the entertainment/activities that can be experienced on the Rhapsody Of The Seas - but to begin with, I shall just quickly cover the basics.
I cruised onboard the Rhapsody for 2 weeks (14 nights) back-to-back, embarking on 4th February and finally leaving the ship on 18th February. The mid-cruise immigration process went smoothly and all of the consecutive cruisers were personally escorted off the ship and straight back on again. I must question though - would it not be easier for the guests, if the Immigration Officer boarded the ship to see our passports, instead of making the people in wheelchairs or on 'scooters' and 'walking frames' to make the journey down the gangways; which were quite steep and difficult to maneuver?
Both of the one week cruises saw exactly the same itineraries and were identical in almost every way. Sometimes that can be a good thing or sometimes not! I'll let you, the Cruise Critic members, decide.
Cabin Review
Superior Ocean View Stateroom with Balcony
On the first week of this cruise, I was part of a group booking with a 'D1-GTY' (guaranteed superior ocean view stateroom with balcony). On the second week, I chose the stateroom myself and elected for stateroom 7594 (also a superior ocean view stateroom with balcony). Both staterooms were on deck 7 and were absolutely identical - apart from the much longer walk from the elevator to the 7140 stateroom (on the first week). The 7594 stateroom was two doors away from the elevator and on the opposite side of the ship.
Both staterooms were easily located, clean, offered a fridge, nice bathroom and balcony. The stateroom attendants on both weeks were male; acquiesced to my every request and did an excellent job in looking after a very British lady, who likes everything prim and proper!
