Rhapsody Of The Seas

The ships' main pool, midship of deck 9, is a heated pool which incorporates a shallow end for children to splash around in, separated from rest of the pool by a metal barrier.

Surrounded by deck chairs and four whirlpools the pool has a maximum depth of 1.7 metres (5ft 6”) and is catered for by the pool bar.

Entertainment around the pool includes lunch time buffets, live music and films and concerts aired on the large outdoor movie screen flanking the pool.

Please note children in diapers (including swimming ones) are not permitted in the pools or whirlpools in accordance with United States Public Health regulations due to the way the pools are cleaned and maintained. Additionally the pool does not have a lifeguard on duty at any time.

A towel station is also located by the pool for guest to borrow towels from which can be exchanged for clean towels throughout the cruise. All towels must be returned by 10pm the evening prior to departure to avoid a $25 supplement per towel being added to guests SeaPass accounts.

Table tennis tables, located on deck 9 by the entrance to the solarium and sheltered from the weather, are available for guests' use either with friends and family or to take part in one of the organised table tennis tournaments.

Rhapsody of the Seas' complimentary outdoor Rock Climbing wall, is aft of deck 10, 200 feet above sea level and offers a number of routes for guests to try from beginners to more advanced climbers with both open climbing and bouldering sessions available.

All of the equipment including shoes, helmets and harnesses are provided and socks, tops and shorts or trousers must be worn and clothing must be dry. The minimum age to climb the wall is 6 years and waivers must be signed to take part in the activity (by adults for all children under the age of 18). 6-12 year olds must have adult supervision at all times and sessions last around 30 minutes and are based on a first come first served basis.

Outdoor shuffleboard can be found on deck 10 of the ship by the jogging track.

The ships' outdoor jogging track on deck 10 enables guests to run laps while taking in the view. Open to anyone and with proper running shoes recommended, the track winds around the perimeter of the deck with around 5 laps equal to 1 mile (or 2.5 laps equal to 1km).

The track is divided into two lanes with the left hand lane for walking and the right hand for running.
