*Live* - Rhapsody - Sydney to Singapore

[susie2shoes]

Great video Matmar! Looking forward to the next installment. We are sailing on her in April 2009 - a long wait for us! Can you please tell me did they scanned your hand luggage in the overseas passenger terminal and again when you boarded Rhapsody? Thanks.

Rhapsody of the Seas sounds good, might have to try it next year. It is cruising Asia, have to look up my best cruise site for a flycruise on it. Susie2shoes, I note you have done 4 RCL ships, are they OK ? As you can see we are mainly Princess people, with a drop of P&O and Carnival on the side.

 

Cheers..Les;)

Hi Les,

We think RCI are fantastic but we don't have anything to compare them with. We have only sailed on one ship - Brilliance of the Seas this April. It was very elegant with a 9 storey atrium in the middle of the ship. There was lots of glass so you had amazing views of the ocean everywhere you went. The photos we have seen of Legend and Rhapsody look equally as impressive so we have booked cruises for 2008 and 2009. One day we hope to sail in Princess and P&O. Someone else who has sailed on RCI as well as other lines maybe able to help you. I don't think you would be disappointed with RCI

Thanks Susie, now I see you have a couple to go on RCI. I have asked the question on RCI boards.

 

Cheers..Les:cool:

Yes they scan your hand luggage at every port, so no chance of sneaking any grog on board after the initial embarkation

Hi Mark,

I am really enjoying your photos of Rhapsody. Now I really can't wait till April 2009! It seems just as elegant as Brilliance. Shame about the scanning at every port!

[croydonCruiser]

Fantastic photos Mark! Thanks for sharing them with us.

Have watched all your video's posted on Youtube and they are great.

The finale video is a wonderful assortment of photo's of the ship. I get to enjoy our cruise all over again. Apart from the tendering hiccups, it was a fantastic cruise.

cheers
