TXSailor Posted September 24, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hi Everyone: Rhapsody of the Seas' final 7 night sailing from Galveston,Texas will be on August 26, 2007. Many of us are sad that she is leaving. She is a beautiful, friendly ship and will be truly missed. But- Before she goes, we plan to organize a group consisting of loyal Rhapsody cruisers, to celebrate the great times that were had on this wonderful ship while she was in Galveston. If you are interested, please post your name on this thread and how many are traveling with you on this cruise. NOTE: You must have cruised at least once on the Rhapsody in order to be in this group.

lawsoncd3 Posted September 24, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2006 That's pretty neat that you're organizing a farewell to her. I don't qualify, yet... in a week I will!! I'll check back in at that time! D :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurseone Posted September 24, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 24, 2006 8/26 cruise and there is already a roll call for the cruise. It will be our 4th time on Rhapsody. If you're going to be on the cruise come on over to the roll call board and join in. Also don't forget to register for the M&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylaner Posted September 24, 2006 #4 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Is the Rhapsody moving to another port? We cruised on her last July '06! Had the time of our life! Would love to make the farewell cruise! Keep us posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiw0318 Posted September 24, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Looks like my third Rhapsody cruise in May will be my final one. We've already planned and booked a fairly expensive land trip in June. I was just wondering this morning if the last date had been announced. Fausto, I am so glad you'll be among the ones to send her off in style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted September 24, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Is the Rhapsody moving to another port? We cruised on her last July '06! Had the time of our life! Would love to make the farewell cruise! Keep us posted! Yes, Kylaner. RCI is going to re-do her and send her over to Asia to cater to the local Asian market.

TEXASMUNK Posted September 24, 2006 #7 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Jim, Suzan and Grandson, Konnor. We head out in 56 days for our 4 time on Rhapsody of the Seas and would love to join a group of Rhapsody Affectionados Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitra Posted September 24, 2006 #8 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I would love to go on her final sailiing BUT dont know financially if I can, or what my schedule will be at that time, but it does tend to be the best time of year to take off. I can tentatively say yes but you know me, I might not be able to. Just too far out for me to say right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missybirchfield Posted September 25, 2006 #10 Share Posted September 25, 2006 We are already booked on this one, so count us in!!! Missy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bargeo Posted September 25, 2006 #11 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Wish we could do the last sailing with you, however we have an expensive one planned in February. We sailed only once on Rhapsody, Feb of 2004. It was, without a doubt, one of my favorite cruises. She is a gorgeous ship, lovingly taken care of by a wonderful crew. The passengers were fun loving and friendly. If you didn't have fun on that ship, it was your own durn fault. I have read the many reviews you have written, and I think it only fitting that you host her farewell party. Keep us informed, and have a blast!!!!

cruiseequalsfun Posted September 27, 2006 #15 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Sheesh! :mad: My thoughts exactly! How rude. I'm booked on that last sailing. Not sure I'll keep it or not, since I had originally wanted to cruise out of TX in Sept. Guess I can't join your little "group" since I have not been on Rhapsody before. Don't worry though, I'll have fun anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we also like the AOS, we don't see us doing it again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurseone Posted September 27, 2006 #17 Share Posted September 27, 2006 on the roll call for the cruise Missy and cruiseequalsfun. Am not sure what celebration TxSailor has planned but the rollcall is for everyone regardless. I think it will be FoxTrot's first cruise on Rhapsody but not sure - We want everyone to join and don't forget to register for the M&M also. Goin to be a great cruise. Look forward to seeing you on our roll call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitra Posted September 27, 2006 #18 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Anyone that knows Fausto would understand he is not being rude. He is not saying that if you have not cruised on Rhapsody you cant go on this sailing, He is talking about the gathering he is pulling together. It is like putting together a group for say Widget sales people, if you dont sell widgets then you could go on the same ship but not be in that particular group. We are all a very friendly bunch, have a great time when we cruise and can be found in the club every night, usually until closing. We love this ship and knowing Fausto, he will be the first to help you around the ship, or intro you to crew and staff he knows from all his sailings on her. He is really a good guy and I am thankful for these boards and Rhapsody because of them I met him and others and am proud to call them friends. They welcomed me with open arms when I finally met them on board the ship and have always tried to include me every cruise they take, not that I can go, but it is nice to know they want me a long. Please dont take it wrong the way he put it, it was not meant in a fashion to hurt anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm booked on that last sailing. Not sure I'll keep it or not, since I had originally wanted to cruise out of TX in Sept. Before you call someone rude, ask to clarify... :) Guess I can't join your little "group" since I have not been on Rhapsody before. Go take a cruise on Rhapsody before Aug.26,2007, then you can join our little group and have fun with us. This group is for "loyal Rhapsody cruisers"...past Rhapsody cruiser. Now that she is leaving Galveston, we would like to throw a "Bon Voyage" for her, on her last passenger revenue sailing from Galveston. Now I hope everyone understands what and who this group is for. Sorry for any confusion. Fausto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXASMUNK Posted September 28, 2006 #22 Share Posted September 28, 2006 had this image of all of us, that last Saturday night, at dinner...both early and late seating..standing and singing two songs..... Because of all the Texans that have grown to love this vessel...The Eyes of Texas..followed by auld ang siinge (Spelling?) We are booking while onboard for our Nov 19, 06 cruise... No matter what ship RCI brings, we will miss this really great vessel and the crews that have made many wonderful vacations. I still believe most of the credit for her success was her first Galveston Captain, with his Stetson and great attitude!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
