Rhapsody of the Seas receives generally positive reviews for its attentive staff, cleanliness, and enjoyable itineraries. Many guests praise the service and friendliness of the crew, as well as the variety of activities and entertainment. However, there are recurring criticisms regarding the ship's age, food quality, and some aspects of the cabins. Excursions and ports are often highlighted as a strong point, though some guests found the descriptions misleading or the time at port too short. The ship is described as smaller and more intimate, which some guests appreciate, but others miss the amenities of larger vessels. Value for money is mixed, with some guests noting hidden fees and others feeling satisfied. Internet and specialty services are rarely mentioned, but when they are, they tend to be a source of disappointment.
