What is Rhapsody doing in Nov 2016?

[suncityga]

Do you know what Rhapsody of the Seas is doing the early part of November 2016?

 

The RCI schedule shows a 7 nights Western Med on Oct 27 2016 ending in Barcelona. The next cruise on the schedule is a westbound TA from Malaga starting on November 19 2016. There is a two week gap in the RCI schedule.

 

Is it a ship refurbishment or is it a charter... or is it something else?

 

Thanks

Royal has not added Rhapsody to their official ship revitalization schedule yet nor has she turned up on the website that normally tracks all cruise ship dry dock activity. I would have to assume ship charter.

 

News of these charters sometimes leaks out. Charters used to appear on a price comparison website, but that is no longer the case.

Currently onboard the Allure westbound TA and we are booked on the Rhapsody TA out of Malaga on Nov 19 2016... I have spoken with C&A Loyalty on Allure and was told 'dry docking for Rhapsody has been approved for Oct/Nov 2016 prior to the westbound TA'. The dry docking will be done in Cadiz, Spain ending on Nov 17th and then sailing empty on the 18th to Malaga to pick up passengers for the westbound TA on Nov 19th.
