We chose Rhapsody based on good reviews from her Aussie season and great value pricing. We chose inside and whilst a window would have been nice, we were not at all disappointed and spent only the minimum "sleep" time in the cabin. The room was certainly no palace but was adequate and we were surprised by the more than ample storage space. We only sighted our steward twice on the entire cruise! - not an issue as everything was in order and always spotless including the mandatory towel pets!

We were quite satisfied with the dining options. Our My Time choice worked well - always walked straight in (no need to pre-book) although the first night we were seated with a table of 8 and the others were already into appetizers as we arrived. Also the mains were rushed as soon as appetizers cleared. On subsequent nights we chose table for two and still found neighbors to chat with, and our waiter was excellent in meeting our request for slower pace of service. menu choices were overall pretty good - the lobster on formal night was not great but steaks always good and fabulous butterfish! Desserts were always fabulous (even if unnecessary!).

Formal night was pleasant but you definitely don't need a tux! I was more the presentable with blazer,tie,slacks and the DW was comfortable in her dress pants and blouse. Read more
