While cruising the Deep Southern Caribbean on the Rhapsody of the Seas, you will have the chance to savor a melting pot of European flavors, spiced with West Indian zest and warmed to perfection by the warm Caribbean sun.
Imagine... you're stretched out in a deck chair soaking up the warm sun. You lift your hand and an attentive waiter is at your side with a cool drink to quench your thirst.
Your taste buds are on a culinary adventure around the world, you don't have to be in Madrid to enjoy spicy tapas, and you don't need to learn French to order Escargots. Other specialty dishes give you a taste of the Caribbean right on board, using the freshest ingredients in the tropics. The dining experience on Royal Caribbean Cruise Line is an event in itself. They have a wide selection of delicious foods that will satisfy everyones taste. You will find your favorite dishes, and discover some new favorites too. Low fat, low cholesterol and vegetarian dishes are available also. No matter when you have the urge to eat, there will always be something available. Earlybird Coffee is ready for the early risers and the Midnight buffet is waiting for the night owls. Whether you feel like feasting or just grabbing a snack, the choice is yours.
While aboard the Rhapsody of the Seas the entertainment is nonstop. In the casino, you can gather around the blackjack or craps tables, spin the roulette wheel, play Stud poker or just have a seat and enjoy a game of video poker.
Move to a rhythm of your own in one of the many lounges aboard the ship. Big band tunes, golden oldies or the top 40 hits are guaranteed to put you in the mood to dance. If you prefer a quieter evening, head for the Viking Crown Lounge and watch the world go by from the best seat in the house. Whether you choose to kick up your heels or kick back and relax, you can be sure you'll find all the options you need to make this the perfect vacation.
All of us at WICS-TV hope to see you in January for this wonderful luxury cruise. For additional information on how you can participate in this luxury incentive program, contact your WICS-TV representative at 217-753-5620.
