This was my first cruise experience, and RCI set the bar extremely high. From the excellence of the facilities and shows/activities both on- and off-board, to the friendliness and attentiveness of the entire staff, my cruise with RCI was pure magic! The food, service, entertainment, accommodations, and excursions on Rhapsody were first-rate. I was also amazed by how organized all aspects of the trip were, including the embarkation/disembarkation procedures, mealtimes, and on-board activities - everything ran like a well-oiled machine. Rhapsody of the Seas was an especially perfect ship for me because it is a bit smaller than other ships in the RCI fleet, which helped me to find my way around and get acclimated more quickly. I also had a blast on the RCI excursions my friend and I booked in Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Belize City (beach visit, dolphin riding, and snorkeling, respectively), it was surprisingly easy to get to/from the shipbecause of the way RCI arranged meeting times/places. Although my friend and I are in our 20's and there weren't a ton of people our age, the activities were engaging and appropriate for everyone, and we were never bored! If you are looking for a fun-filled ship with a wonderful staff and incredible activities/excursions, I can't recommend Rhapsody of the Seas enough!
