The Rhapsody of the Seas is one of Royal Caribbean’s Vision Class ships. It was introduced in 1997 and can accommodate just over 2,000 passengers. With a décor theme that often incorporates images of stars and planets, the ship has a magical air coupled with contemporary style.

Plenty of leisure activities are available all over this large ship, with guests having options such as a dip in the main pool or one of its four hot tubs, climbing the rock wall or surfing the ‘net in the “Royal Caribbean Online” internet lounge. Other entertainment choices include taking in a live show at the Broadway Melodies Show Lounge, a drink at the Champagne Bar or a relaxing evening at the Schooner Bar. Spa treatments and workout rooms are available at the ShipShape Day Spa and Fitness Center. The younger crowd will enjoy the Adventure Ocean youth program, offering activities for all age groups.

Dining choices are the more formal, assigned dinner times in the main dining room or casual fare at the Windjammer Café. Royal Caribbean also has soda cards for purchase, giving guests unlimited non-alcoholic beverage options, as well as drink cards for the adults.
