Observatory with endless views out to sea by

all-weather Solarium and pool with

- Two,
scenic, glass-walled elevators with views
not just of the atrium, but out to sea!
- Private
balcony staterooms - almost 30% of the
Rhapsody's staterooms feature
floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading onto
spacious balconies

Recommended for:
|
Not Recommended for:
|
- All
ages but particularly popular with families,
couples, and singles. The ship's youth
facilities are top-notch.
- Passengers
looking for a competitively-priced, slightly
upscale cruise environment
- Active,
"Get Out There" passengers!
|
- Passengers
seeking absolute peace and quiet. The ship
attracts active passengers and their
families.
- Passengers
who insist on ultra-flexible dining. The
Rhapsody offers the traditional style of
dining with assigned dining times and
tables. Although the Windjammer Café offers
a casual, restaurant-style dining at night,
there are no true, "alternative" restaurants
onboard.
