New to Royal, going on Rhapsody

[PlanningToCruise]

been on 9 carnival cruises, but have our first Royal cruise booked for Feb. because my cousin was already booked. What differences is there? any tips/tricks I should know. Anything specifically about Rhapsody? Must eat foods? I'm seeing yes and no about freestyle machines on the Rhapsody, anyone recently off that can tell me for sure. Room service, I see there's a charge of $7.95, so if I just have morning coffee delivered it's $7.95?

Looking forward to our first one with Royal. Thanks

Rhapsody has Freestyle Coke machines.

 

Continental breakfast (which includes coffee) is free from Room Service in the morning.

Rhapsody is a nice ship, sailed on her this past February. I've sailed many Carnival cruises before I became more exclusive with Royal Caribbean. My preference is now Royal Caribbean. Though I'm now more exclusive with Royal Caribbean I still try to keep up with the going ons with Carnival. One day the time will come and I'll sail one of their newer ships.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are some things that Carnival and Royal Caribbean are alike on the smaller ships and some things are completely different. On many of the Royal Caribbean ships they will feel more nautical. Knowing what ships you sailed on with Carnival will give us a better idea on what some of the differences may be for you on Rhapsody.

There's a secret staircase from Deck 8 starboard aft (around Junior Suite 8584) up to the lobby of the spa, which means VERY easy access to the solarium. But that's about as sneaky a thing I can think of.

Thanks & thx for the pics. First thing I noticed when my cousin told me which ship was that it was smaller and older, but that's ok. SHips I've sailed are in my signature, Mostly the Liberty when it's at my homeport of Canaveral ( I'm 25 mins away) lol

Ok thanks. Still learning names on RCCL like solarium lol. Is there a bunch of shops for shopping on board?

Yes

 

 

 

 

 

And, to be more specific, there are three soda machines. Two in the Windjammer, as you walk in each side, and one on the 6th floor, near Lattetudes.

Room service is complimentary for continental breakfast including coffee. RCI introduced the $7.95 fee to cut costs on late night food orders by passengers that ultimately leave uneaten and food is wasted.
