We loved this cruise, it’s one of our most favorite experiences on Royal Caribbean. Really want to do it again one day. Let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you so much. This cruise was one of our absolute favorites and I think about it often. Really hope y’all have an amazing time. If you have any other questions please let us know and we hope you have an amazing cruise!
Booked this cruise in 2024 for our honeymoon so I’ve been following along with your videos. We took our first Royal caribbean cruise 2 years ago and the Bahamas was less than impressive. Your comment had my dying 😂 thanks so much for posting!
Thank you so much for watching! I’m not the biggest fan of Nassau as you can tell, but don’t worry the ports on this greek isles cruise are a million times better than the Bahamas. 😀 y’all should have a blast.
@@letsgetwanderlost it was totally on par with our cruise on The Odyssey, but less crowded. Great service! Loved the specialty restaurants! We would cruise on Rhapsody again for sure
We did the first week of June. The weather was good. A tad hot at times but nothing like the middle of summer. It was hot in the city of Oia on Santorini, it was Windy in Mykonos, a bit hot in Ephesus, and kinda perfect in Naples.
Thanks for the video. Same feelings about Nassau…lol. Question about the Mykonos port, since it’s not a tender can you get on and off the ship, is it easy enough? We plan to do snorkeling on our own there, and I was just wondering if it’s easy to get back on the boat change and then go explore the port.
Yea, since it’s a regular dock you can just go down to the gangway and get off the ship, no tickets, no time frames, and you can get on and off the ship as you please. You’ll just have to clear security when getting back on the ship. You’ll definitely be able to get back on and change and then go explore the port.
In most of the ports (other than the tender) did you pull in forward? Just trying to decide which side of the boat may have better views, if its even matters...
Santorini was a tender and both sides of the ship should have had decent views. Mykonos the starboard side would be facing the port and have the best view Ephesus - docked front of the ship facing the port, dock on starboard side; port side should have the better view since there’s normally a ship blocking the starboard view. Naples the ship backed into the port and the starboard side would be facing the dock so the port side and aft would have the better view So, I don’t think it would matter, we had aft facing and the only port we didn’t have a good view was Ephesus.
Another great video!!! Was it hard knowing what time to reserve dinner each night? I heard that even with my time dining, you have to select dinner times before boarding. Trying to figure out if earlier dinner times are impractical
We didn’t eat in the MDR for dinner on this trip, but we have on previous cruises. What we typically do is kinda assess what our plans are for that day and what time we think we’re gonna want to eat and then go into the app and book a time slot reservation for dinner in the MDR. You don’t have to book dinner times before boarding, you can, but it isn’t necessary. We usually do it the day of. We like the flexibility of planning our dinner around our day rather than planning our day around a specific timeslot. With my time you can also just show up during the times the MDR is open and get into the no reservation line and wait. Our wait has typically been between 10mins to 45 mins.
Perfect!!!! And then my last question lol, although I’m sure I’ll have more as you all share more videos… I am so bummed that the ifly experience is sold out on the app. Did they have any complimentary options for that?
We didn’t look into iFly unfortunately, so I don’t have any answers regarding it. We spent so much time at the ports on port days and basically spent our sea days just recovering. Sorry I don’t have much information about that.
thank you so much for watching! We really enjoyed this cruise and it’s so much better in person. We recommend this cruise to everyone, it was one of our favorites.
So much fun so excited can’t wait!
This was one of the best cruises we’ve ever taken. It was a blast!
When is your sail date?
Thanks. I’m looking at this exact cruise for 2025.
We loved this cruise, it’s one of our most favorite experiences on Royal Caribbean. Really want to do it again one day. Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much. The cruise should be amazing. We loved ours. Keep a look out we should have another video or two about this trip coming up.
We are doing this Same one 2026- June to July. However, when did you folks go? How was the weather? Thanks for sharing! ;)

Travis doesn't look like a happy camper.
Well, depends on the day and if we’re on vacation or not. 🤷♂️

@@letsgetwanderlost This totally makes sense. How late were you all eating, after getting back onboard from ports?
This past trip we ate around 730-8pm every day after our ports for dinner except for Santorini where we ate around 10pm
Perfect!!!!
