Frequently Asked Questions about Rhapsody of the Seas
On Rhapsody of the Seas, I always recommend choosing mid-ship cabins on Decks 7 or 8, as they offer the smoothest ride on Mediterranean itineraries. I also suggest spending sailaways in the Viking Crown Lounge, where the elevated views are far better than the main deck and much quieter.
