Introduction

My wife and I have booked a seven day cruise aboard the Rhapsody of the Seas, leaving Galveston, Texas on the 17th of September 2006. This blog will detail the adventures and review of our cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s ship and should be a great way to share our cruise with friends and family as well as provide information for other cruisers in the future.

My wife, Kasey and I took this same cruise in June and had such a good time that we wanted to do it again. Since we do not have kids in school, we are able to go during off peak times (a.k.a the school year) and cruise for about half the price. Our cost for this was $549 per person for an oceanview room, which is really not bad considering all that you get! The down side is that we are going during hurricane season, which may mean rainy weather if not a storm. Luckily, there do not seem to be any hurricanes heading our way right now. I have also found a great website from the U.S. Navy that has awesome wave charts. I actually use the Gulf of Mexico view for a surf report. When the green hits Corpus Christi, it is time to go boogie boarding (Woo Hoo!!).

We will be stopping in
Ocho Rios, Jamaica,
George Town, Grand Cayman

I will be sure to include all kinds of good stuff about each place and pictures.
