Having been on 7 previous cruises with RCI again we were not disappointed. The ship itself was beautiful. We were exteremly overwhelmed by the
size of our cabin ( B deck cabin for four ). The open atmosphere of the ship was wonderful and made it easy to get your bearings. The amount of
space to be by the pools was great. The addition of the quiet solarium was wonderful for those who wanted sun but without the loudness of the pool
area. The Broadway Melody Lounge arrangement was great. Getting rid of the tables and adding cup holders was a fabulous idea. The two teared
dining room was great although it was a little loud at times. We also enjoyed the casual dining in the Windjammer the one night we were to tired to
get dressed from a long day of tours. This was a fabulous idea. The schduleing of the evening activities such as shows and other events was great.
We always felt we were doing things with half the ships capacity since others were at dinner while we were enjoying the casino and activities. The
shore excursions were suberb. We did the De Palm Island tour in Aruba and the Golden Eagle Sail Away in St. Maartin. Overall we we sail this ship
again.

As I said before we have been on 7 other cruises with RCI and this time we were disapponted with the over cruise staff. The cruise director was only
visable at the big shows and I am not sure who the other cruise staff members were since they were never around. When we did see them they
were smoking and drinking and only conversed with passengers if the passenger initiated the response. Although we loved our tours they were not
on time leaving or returning, so this often left little time to do other things when choosing half day tours. The entertainment was not the best. The only
top liners we had was the jugglers. RCI should not say they have top liners if they don't. Other than these few negitives I would highly recommend RCI
and the Rhapsody.
