Rare aussielozzie18 Posted November 28, 2013 #76 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) I am so looking forward to being on Rhapsody over Christmas but I have to say that after reading everyones blogs and photos of the "Oasis" and "Allure" on CC, Rhapsody looks small in comparison!

The_Big_M Posted November 28, 2013 #77 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Once we got to Airlie we took a walk to the edge of town (it's not large!). Both of us have been here before (I worked in this town for a few months on a movie in my old life). We didn't opt to do any shore excursions as they were things that we have done before. I can highly recommend Ocean Rafting out to Whitehaven Bay. http://www.oceanrafting.com.au/ For whatever reason they write: "Any guests arriving into Airlie Beach on a cruise ship are kindly asked to book our tour through the on-board shore excursion team.

ThirdGenCruiser Posted January 12, 2014 #82 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) I see on your cruise review blog that one of the Production shows was Pure Country. What was the other production show (I assume there were two)? How was the suggested dress code? Was it mostly casual wear aside from 2-3 formal nights? On my last cruise (on VOTS) the Smart Casual suggestion seemed to have been dropped (outside of specialty restaurants, at least!). Maybe this is the case on all tropical-based Australian cruises with RCI? Also, what theme nights were there? I'd imagine a Hawaiian/Island night would feature due to the tropical climate. The days are counting down to the first Rhapsody experience!! :D Edited January 12, 2014 by marquisite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
