“The ship that will not be named” — that is how my wife and I have agreed to deal with this atrocious memory.
Embarkation was sadistic. Pouring rain in Venice, through which you MUST walk for the final 100 m to the shuttle and check-in location. Then MSC has you wait outside their MSC 5 million square foot terminal (with room for tens of thousands of people inside), in the wind and cold, for ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. The centrum is the common area where they have nightly entertainment. Seating is limited on the 4th floor. People hang over the balconies of higher floors to take part.
On the 3rd day of the cruise, we were informed that a small percentage of guests had Norovirus. So no touching food in the Windjammer and extensive sanitizing around the ship. ...
The locations is why we picked this cruise. There was alot we liked and some we did not. The ship is old and worn It is small.. We had a Junior Suite with a balcony. Embarkation and disembarkation went very well. We bought deluxe dining and beverage packages. We did not do any excursions we explored on our own. That was wonderful. We walked allover and loved it. We visited Mykonos, ...
We are just back from a 7 night cruise around the Greek Islands onboard Royal Caribbean’s Rhapsody of the Seas. All in all, it was a very pleasant cruise but there were definetly one or two things that could have been improved upon.
We embarked in Venice and stayed the night beforehand in the Hilton Garden Inn Venice Mestre. This was very reasonably priced and in a perfectly fine location for ...
We were looking for an itinerary that sails from Venice so this was a perfect fit. While exploring the options we found the only cabin available was aft facing balcony and we grabbed it.
We reached venice two days before the sailing shaken with the news of floods in venice. We reached during high tide and were advised at the ticket booth to take alilaguna water taxi to reach San Mark Square. ...
Sailed with my elderly parents and husband.
We paid for assistance as my father is in a wheelchair although this was non existent.
Service in the bars was extremely slow and staff in certain bars down to 1 bar man.
Food was good can not complain plenty of variety.
Ship is looking tired now furniture in the solarium tatty and worn.
The ports of call were very good.
Beware if ...
We have cruised many, times since last choosing RCI. In fact the last time was around 35 years ago. Since then we have travelled with P&O,H&L,Celebrity and many others of the same calibre. This was our third cruise in 2018.
We chose this cruise as part of a package put together by IGLU to encompass Lake garda as the starting point and a transfer to Venice to pick up the ship.
We had ...
We had an amazing cruise on the Rhapsody of the Seas.
This is a smaller ship but has an elegant and relaxed atmosphere.
The staff are exceptional and work hard to deliver a memorable experience.
There are always activities and games to keep you occupied and the excursions were well organised and interesting.
The cabins and all public areas were kept spotlessly clean and the food was ...
This was our third Royal Caribbean cruise and really we plan to stay with them unless there is an itinerary we need that they do not provide. We arrived in Venice 2 days before the cruise to have some time there. Embarkation was as seamless and trouble free as I have seen, this could be due to the size of the ship. We arrived really early and had to wait a few hours to get to our rooms, but the ...
We chose this cruise because of the Greek Islands that we wanted to see.
Embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly and quickly.
The ship was very nice and kept i great condition.
We were in cabin 7542-a balcony cabin. The room is large and has plenty of room for storage.The beds are comfy. It was great to be able to see such beautiful sites from our balcony. So worth it. Our cabin was ...
