We recently were on Rhapsody of the Seas out of Barbados. Since there have not been many reviews of the cruises out of Barbados, and especially the Island Hop itinerary where you visit 7 islands in 7 days, I wanted to post this review. I am not an expert review poster, so this might be a little all over the place. This is mostly going to be about our experience on each island, including what ...

This Rhapsody of the Seas “Island Hopper” 11 day cruise out of Barbados was chosen because of the very low price of $345 p/p and the itinerary included three islands we haven’t previously visited. We flew WestJet direct flight from Toronto to Bridgetown and stayed at two different beach hotels. The first two nights at the Accra Beach Hotel and Spa and at the Rostrevor Hotel in St. Lawrence Gap ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

My Husband booked this cruise as a surprise 60th Birthday present, and it was far from cheap. We had a balcony cabin which was clean and quite roomy despite the fact that the fridge did not work. Another fridge was delivered after complaining but was in addition to the broken fridge, so was placed under the dressing table leaving no room to push the chair under the dressing table therefore taking ...

My husband and I are experienced cruisers and have been on many different cruise lines. We are in our 60s. After reading about how terrible this cruise was, we lowered our expectations...and were pleasantly surprised albeit with some potential improvements to recommend as well. The food and service in the Main Dining Room is perfect. It was delicious, a diverse menu and our waiters Donald and ...

We are Diamond members but this was our first cruise on Royal since the pandemic. I chose this itinerary because it visited 7 islands in 8 days. 5 of the islands were new to use. Since everyday was a port day, I figured a small ship would be ok. The crew was amazingly friendly. It almost felt like they are using the smaller ships for "training". Our cabin attendant was new (he told us) and ...

Barbados is or was an easier country ton get in to, Home Security in the US being aggressive in the best of situations, and with a stop every day little time is wasted. Most things went okay but when they didn't they tended to be shore side. First problem was actually getting on, I had an 11.30 boarding slot, I had four days in a hotel before hand, but I arrived on time and handed over my ...

I knew the ship was dated and I paid next to nothing for this cruise, so I came with eyes wide open. Let's get the slight negative out of the way. I wasn't happy with the cabin. We had 2636. Second from end aft. I didn't request my cabin as I wouldn't have even known where to choose. The issues I had were with noise. The sound of the engine woke my baby several times, not ideal. I ...

Chose this cruise for the transatlantic crossing and some of the ports. Having been on Rhapsody before the ship is in need of some TLC however the overall experience of the ship was good. Embarkation was a little slow with the girl behind the counter more interested in joking and carrying on with a fellow worker than serving us and getting the job done. As soon as you got on the ship you ...

Our travel agent got us a good deal, to include extra nights in Brazil and Barcelona. Never been to Brazil before, and the itinerary suited us with 7 days at sea, the cruise ended in Barcelona and we only live 1 hour flight away. We were mid ship deck 2 with a window, the cabin was big enough and clean, the windows were rusty and needed renewing. We had booked a table for 2, after many ...
