Rhapsody of the Seas and Internet Access

[Mr FancyPants]

I can't seem to find much info on the speed, quality, and options for Internet access on RCCL. I'm sailing on Rhapsody of the Seas on 3/28 and unfortunately I will have to work some on the ship. I've heard that some ships have in-room internet connections? Is this true? Also, what kind of speed/quality have you folks experienced?

Also, what is your advice for dining? It has been 9 years since I've been on RCCL and I can't remember what the best arrangements were. I signed up for late dining thinking that would give us more time to do stuff during the day and we wouldn't have to hurry off to dinner.

Thanks!
Allen

The Rhapsody does not have cabin internet access, but they do have an internet cafe. The cost is $.50 a minute (no package deals) and speed varies from ver, very slow to adequate.

As for dining, personally, I prefer late seating for just the reason you mention. Be aware, however, that some of the shows (not the main production shows) are scheduled as pre-dinner events for 2nd seating.
