First experience of RCC and an average one.

Additional details
Our first experience on RCC and the ship, Rhapsody of the Seas which is one of their oldest in the fleet (first sailing 1997 and the most recent refit in 2012).
This was our third cruise having sailed with Celebrity and P&O before and overall would rate RCC third for the following reasons;
Pros - Being an older made ship, had good levels of soundproofing in the cabin with no neighbour noises and a huge Aft balcony which meant it accommodated a table, two chairs and lounges which was perfect for the afternoon sun. The buffet, The Windjammer stocked an excellent range of breakfast plus lunch meals, although at times felt crowded and the dining chairs are poorly designed, being heavy and bulky to move.Embarking and disembarking were smooth and straight forward with no issues. The main restaurant The Edelweiss offered better than average lunch and dinner meal options but unfortunately breakfast was a complete disaster (big queues, poorly organised and cold and below standard cooked food).
Cabin Review
Junior Suite
Decent size with a double sofa, two chairs, excellent storage space, bathroom with a bath over the shower. The balcony was our highlight with a huge amount of space, two chairs, table and two lounges. Overall due to the overall condition, in need of a refurbishment soon.
