Rhapsody of the Seas questions, please.

[txtraveler]

We're sailing Rhapsody of the Seas, and I've emailed some of these questions to Royal Caribbean, but haven't heard back yet. So, please indulge me with a few basic questions: our first time with Royal Caribbean. In the Casino, do we need to take cash, or do we "charge" our casino action to our room?
Do the outside staterooms (no balcony have bathrobes?
I've read in reviews that there is a Wine and Dine program, where you order your wine for dinner ahead of time. When / how do I look at that, and possibly sign up?
thanks!!!

AS far as the casino I think it's either or. We always took cash, but I did see people using their charge cards. For the bathrobes I don't know. Never stayed where that might be an option. The wine and dine package is the way to go. They will have a table set up outside the dining room, and you can place your order. This is a copy of the email I got from RCCL on this matter. Hope it helps. Let me know if you have any other questions about the Rhapsody.

You are SO kind to have provided all of that to me....Still haven't heard back from RCCL....I think that the wine and dine is the way to go! Reasonable, for sure. Thanks again!
