Neesa Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 IF they offer the L & S option for our impending June cancellation my alternative would be this ship. Is the foot traffic and chair dragging a concern (loudly, frequently, hours) for a deck 8 cabin? What is your favorite thing about this Ship? It is scheduled to depart out of Tampa USA if allowed by then June 2022 (oh please let us sail). @twangsterdo you have any photos of this ship/class of ship? The You Tube videos I found made me nauseous within minutes. Wanting to make the best decision for my family, we are vaccinated but my 15 year old is not so eligible so it may be a long while before we step back on board again. I am done with the FCC game (if I can be) and think my prices are really fair so hoping to lock that in for next year. Thanks to all & again to everyone sailing from non US ports PLEASE post those trip blogs so I can live vicariously through you, take good care all!

Matt Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 I did a live blog from Rhapsody in 2018: https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/category/category/rhapsody-of-the-seas-live-blog Heymarco, Tanner and Neesa 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Each of these sisters are unique in their own ways. These ships were built in pairs by two different ships yards at a time when the concept of a ship "class" wasn't fully embraced. Vision is Rhapsody's closest sister. Depending where the cabin is on deck 8, deck 9 noise can be noticeable. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neesa Posted April 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 @twangster@Matt Suite on Deck 7! Sounds good, now I will will a Lift & Shift to be offered Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Just watch out for the aft deck 7 cabins over the deck 6 lounge. Lounge noise doesn't bother me and I have booked an aft balcony on Rhapsody right over the deck 6 lounge, but it's something that could bother some, so...

Mike.s Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 We sailed Rhapsody from Tampa in Feb 2020 and loved it. We had a midship junior suite on deck 8, didn't hear any noise. Being a smaller ship everything is nearby, didn't need to use (or wait) for a lift as we were happy to walk up or down a few flights of stairs. Ship was very very friendly, always found sun loungers whenever we wanted them, sure you don't get a Broadway show by that's not what we were looking for. If you're looking for a relaxing cruise, you can't go wrong with Rhapsody. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got on the elevator on deck 8 out of habit and went up to the pool deck... one deck up. Doh! Everything is so easy to get to without requiring an elevator.

Hammerhead Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 One of my favorite ships, I make at least one run a year. Haven't been disappointed to date. I suspect it will be more & more difficult to secure bookings via USA ports for the foreseeable future. If you're lucky enough too, make it the best! Don't concern yourself with rumors, make your own memories! Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
