Rhapsody of the Seas Cruise Review by UndecidedCruiser: First timer's honest opinions
Overall Member Rating
First timer's honest opinions
Destination: South Pacific
Embarkation: Sydney (Australia)
Rhapsody of the Seas 3/12 April 2013.
The wife is 64, I'm 65 and she was happier with our first cruise than me. No doubt a review written by her would be more positive.
Our choice of cruises was made after reading other people's reviews so I'm taking a significant amount of my time to write this review so others can benefit from our experience in turn.
Positive things:
1) Cabin steward and Edelweiss restaurant waiters were great. Happy and attentive.
2) Most all of the crew with the exception of those we encountered at the Park Cafe were very friendly and efficient.
3) Food was plentiful, available, varied and well presented. Some of it was very good.
4) Stateroom was clean with plenty of storage.
5) Ship was clean and well maintained - we had no breakdowns or safety issues. Maintenance appeared to be ongoing.
6) Some good activities (more about this later).
7) Izumi Japanese restaurant was good value for the More money.
Negative things:
1) Forced gratuities. When you sign up with the travel agent you are enticed to prepay your gratuities with a promise of selectable dining times.
We elected to accept a fixed dining time of 6:00 PM so we could reward good service after it was delivered, not before.
Upon arrival we were informed that the new policy was to automatically deduct gratuities from our C-pass card daily. US$12.00 per day per person (total of US$216 per cabin of 2) plus 15% of purchases.
So we ended up losing both control of the gratuities and selectable dining times. I found this irritating enough to insure I will not use Royal Caribbean International (RCI) again.
2) Sewerage smell. Others have commented on this and I'm surprised that this should occur on a modern cruise liner.
3) Mini bar? Didn't exist unless you think a few warm bottles of water and a few warm cans of soda in a cabinet constitutes a "min-bar". Advertising hype only because who would pay to drink a warm coke?
4) No toiletries, paper, pen or coffee in stateroom - even the cheapest motel provides these amenities. Soap, in-shower shampoo(?) dispenser and tea bags only.
5) Entertainment was disappointing - some good, most mediocre, some of poor quality. The entertainment was mainly singing with a bit of dancing. A little more variety would have been nice.
6) While there were a few interesting activities, the few good ones were so well attended that there was not enough room (e.g. the dance floor was too crowded during dance lessons so you couldn't help stepping on others and getting stepped on).
7) The Edelweiss restaurant menu mostly promised more than it delivered. The scallops/pasta mains had so few tiny scallops that my wife found it necessary to comment on this and we had to laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation.
On the other hand the duck mains were both good and generous. You take your chances here.
8) Wi-fi was both expensive and slow at 18-25 kbit/sec, slower than dialup at US$0.65 per minute. Don't plan on surfing the internet at these speeds - emails only. You can get the rate down to $0.40 per minute if you buy a package of 250 minutes for US$100.
9) Could not get restaurant reservations at either Chops Grille steak house or Giovanni's Table Italian restaurant unless we were prepared to eat at 6:30 despite trying to make reservations two days ahead of time for 7:00 or later.
10) The large video screen at poolside had big non-working sections the entire 9 days.
11) Alcohol was on the expensive side. Some cheaper wines were available but only barely drinkable.
12) We ended up paying for fresh squeezed OJ at breakfast because the regular orange juice is so watered down. Less

Seems like a huge market that's never been addressed well. I know at least once a company tried it with a pill, but I tried that pill and was not reliable... and ended up in the trash heap of sleep medications. A pill's rate of uptake is too variable to address the need.

- it was the highlight of the party! Review by tweetyrock
initially was going to use as table decor, then decided to give to guests to wear during party. as host i wore it myself. After seeing it on me, everyone wanted one to wear, young and old. it was the hit of the party. A few either flickered or did not turn on at all, but the majority of them were fine, worked all nite, and were easy to use.

HTC EVO 4G - Gently Used
A great phone for the value, and certainly met the 9/9.5 level for cosmetic quality. The used battery is just that. USED and unable to hold much of a charge. So be aware you might have to fork over for a new battery - but at $5-10, not a major expense considering the phone price. Just something to be aware of if we are being professional and transparent on our listings.

evo 4g
I personally have owned (including the one I presently own) 10 HTC Evo 4G phones, not because they break easily, not because of misplacing them... I have had just no luck with keeping things on my person. I have lost 6 evo's inside of the same gas station and the others just from normal things like dropping in a toilet by my nephew, a girlfriend smashed my last one with a hammer. They are so reliable under normal circumstances.

Google Market / Play App download / install ills
I've had three of these devices
One was locked in Boot Looping mode.
Bad ROM, no Recovery, no Factory Restore.
So I went looking for others, here on eBay
One had a cracked screen, but worked
Am using it's logic board
Another worked with battery and backdoor from
previous machines...
PROBLEM downloading Apps from Play / Market
Says: Starting Download, but nothing happens...
After many minutes
I have had experience with HTC myTouch 4Gs that gives no such problems. from Google Play.

No longer works with Sprint
This was one of the best phones ever released. However it is no longer functional on the Sprint network...
Please note that this phone is not LTE. I tried to connect this phone 2/2016 and the calls failed. It would not work because this phone uses older WiMax technology that was phased out by Sprint in 11/2015. This phone was released in 2010 and it was out of service by 2015. Amazing how fast the technology changes.

Nice inexpensive smartphone.
Not the latest and greatest smartphone but it does the job. It's very easy to use and it runs all the apps I need. Add a SD card for best results.

List of ALL
MADONSELA poems
Dark clouds circle me like sharks
As the storms prepare to strike
I lay vulnerable awaiting the sparks
Awaiting for one last fight
And my courage pulls up and parks
Then suddenly this all seems like spite
Life greeting me like that, with a knife and fork
Life seems barren, it must be a dungeon
And the after-life, a force fed fantasy
Pulling me down as I hang on to religion
Refusing the whole live and die mentality
As being truly alive fuels my rebellion
And I watch as sociality slaughters Humanity,
I watch as morality falls in its legions

Me and my family (6 members) booked athe Isla Tortuga tour from Montezuma earlier this month. We found the staff to be very pleasant and helpful; from booking (online, and follow up questions) to the boat captain and mates.
Our tour included a hour boat ride to the islands, snorkling, lunch, play time, then a boat ride back to Montezuma.
The staff on the boat were very friendly; I've never launched a boat from the beach before, but the staff were helpful to ensure we all boarded safely, offered everyone a drink of choice (great beer by the way!), and we were on our way.
While snorkling, our guide spent a lot of time pointing out fish and other sealife to whomever was swimming close by, and would make sure everyone had an opportunity to see something unique (like puffer fish, starfish, eels, sharks, etc.); things snorklers might have missed otherwise.
There was plenty of fresh fruit on board (pineapple and watermelon) and at lunch (more melon and coconuts), and drink as well. After lunch (which was good, but nothing to write home about) we had plenty of time to take it easy in the water around the beach before boarding the boat for the ride back.
I found the tour to be interesting, and fun. Zuma seems to be a first-class outfit!
I don't know if it was intended or not, but we booked online and received an automatic 10% discount off the advertised rate.
Thanks Zuma!

American defense plans fail to engage with the reality of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I'm the mom of a 3-year-old daughter. I wasn't sure how she would react to the book. There are no cute characters. No flaps to lift. No scratch and smell, lights, music or holograms. LOL - it's truly a book! And it's made up of primary colors, circles, and basic sentences - that's it.
So, I put her on my lap and began to read. Did she like it? Well, we had to read it 8 times the first night, 7 times the second night, 10 times the third night, etc., etc., etc. She hasn't gotten tired of it yet.
This morning, my daughter had a doctor's appointment. As we sat in the waiting room, I took the book out and we began to read. Within moments, we were surrounded by every other child in the waiting room as they watched and listened in fasciation.
This is truly a wonderful little book that proves imagination is more important and more effective than batteries!
Product Update 11/16/13
Well, my daughter is now 5 1/2 years old. As many books do, this one eventually ended up on a shelf filled with many other books. We're packing for a move and Press Here came to light again. I told my daughter that it had been her favorite book when younger, so she asked me to read it to her.
My voice was soon tired as we had to read it six times in one sitting. Though she's old enough that the book doesn't seem quite so 'magic' anymore, she was still delighted with it.Read more ›
There are books and then there are books. PRESS HERE is fun, simple, and brilliantly executed. In some ways, I like to describe this as an iPad app for people without an iPad. It should be noted that the book is designed in a way that also allows for heavy use. With a book that encourages interactions, it is critical that it can stand up to lots of handling. The pages of PRESS HERE are thicker and coated which will support frequently use.
If you are looking for gifts for young children in your life, or just like collecting unique books, I would seriously recommend this one. I am already making up a list of who will get a copy.
You know what kids love? Being told what to do. Seriously, it's a thrill for them. Take Press Here. From the title onward children are given specific directions like "press the yellow dot again" and "try shaking the book". For every action the child takes, the book seems to respond with the turn of a page. Dots flit and fly in all directions. Sometimes child readers turn out the lights. Other times the dots grow huge on the page with every clap of the reader. By the time you've reached the end all the book has to say is, "want to do it all over again?" and you can bet that every reader in the room, tall or small, will scream out an appreciative "YES!!!" in response.
I wonder . . . is this the first picture book of the picture book app age?Read more ›

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
- Ford launches the automotive industry's first open mobile app developer program enabling software developers to integrate their apps with SYNC® AppLink™
- The Ford Developer Program provides a software development kit, technical support from Ford engineers and a developer community
Providing developers the information and tools needed for the creation of relevant, voice-activated experiences inside the car, Ford Motor Company today announces the launch of the Ford Developer Program (http://developer.ford.com) at the 2013 International CES.
Utilizing the SYNC® connectivity system and AppLink™ application programming interface (API), Ford becomes the first automaker in the world to launch an open developer program that enables software developers to directly interface with the vehicle and create apps that will enhance the driving experience.
"The Ford Developer Program marks a dramatic shift in how we will innovate new features and add value to our vehicles throughout the ownership period," said Hau Thai-Tang, vice president of Engineering, Ford Global Product Development. "Opening the car to developers gives consumers a direct voice and hand in the creation of apps that can help our products remain relevant, up to date and valuable to our customers."
According to a recent Nielsen survey, more than half of all American mobile subscribers now use smartphones of some kind and two-thirds of newly activated phones can run apps. Globally, there are now more than 1 billion smartphone users, a population that is expected to double by 2015. More than 55 billion apps have been downloaded from the leading digital markets, and American users have an average of 67 apps on their devices.
"When we first introduced SYNC in 2007, there was a need for an appropriate way to connect and control cellphones and digital music players in the car due to the massive consumer adoption trend," continued Thai-Tang. "Offering voice control so drivers can keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road has proven to be popular with our customers. Now, with an even faster adoption rate of smartphones, there is a need for a renewed focus on voice control for the unique capabilities of these devices, especially for the use of apps."
A recent Frost & Sullivan study shows one in five survey respondents acknowledge using apps while driving with absolutely no connection to the vehicle. While SYNC provides connectivity and voice control for phones and music players via Bluetooth® or USB, AppLink provides a voice-activated interface, allowing drivers to control smartphone apps without the need to pick up their devices. First launched in 2010, SYNC AppLink provides industry-leading voice command and control of mobile apps including popular services like Pandora personalized radio, Stitcher smart radio, NPR News, iHeartRadio digital radio and Scout personal navigation.
"The car presents an all-new opportunity for developers, especially the millennial market, and we're looking forward to seeing what results," said Thai-Tang. "Engaging innovators outside of the company is a key part of our strategy to be consumer-driven in all aspects of our business, helping us not only satisfy what's going on today, but setting us up for innovative solutions to the challenges coming in the future."
Millennials – those aged 18-33 – are particularly interested in customizing their experience with consumer products. Four in 10 respondents to a survey of millennials by Edelman 8095 want the opportunity to influence the products they use. Selecting and using apps is one of the easiest ways to personalize the functionality of both communications devices and vehicles they connect to for a unique user experience.
Ford Developer Program
Ford has been in a beta test with a group of invited developers as they work out details of the software development kit (SDK), documentation and technical support systems. With more than three dozen AppLink-compatible apps publicly available on Apple iOS and Google Android, the SDK is now mature enough that Ford engineers are ready to let the vast ecosystem of developers try it out.
The Ford program is similar to those at technology companies including Apple, Google and Facebook. App developers who want to enable their creations for AppLink can now register at http://developer.ford.com to download the AppLink SDK. The SDK contains code libraries and documentation for the APIs that enable two-way communication between mobile apps and the vehicle including voice commands from the driver.
"Since launching AppLink, we've worked with developers ranging from a two-man startup at Roximity to large organizations like National Public Radio and Major League Baseball," said Julius Marchwicki, global product manager for Ford SYNC AppLink. "The experience we gained from these projects as well as supporting hackathons at TechCrunch Disrupt and Facebook has helped us refine the development and testing process."
In addition to the libraries and documentation, developers will have access to technical support directly from Ford engineers and online discussion forums where they can share lessons learned with other developers.
Developers who have a great idea for an app but need some help building it can turn to jacAPPS. Michigan-based jacAPPS will be the recommended mobile app development house for the Ford Developer Program. The company has been chosen to provide development and technical support to third-party developers wanting to create voice-activated smartphone apps for Ford SYNC AppLink.
"Our focus is to enhance the driving experience by minimizing the distractions caused by hand-held usage of smartphones while driving," added Marchwicki. "We know consumers are using apps such as music and navigation while driving; therefore, by making AppLink available to developers, we can help ensure relevant apps can now be voice-controlled."
Currently, the three main categories of AppLink-enabled apps include: News and Information, Music and Entertainment, Navigation and Location.
Once a developer has incorporated AppLink code into the app, it will be submitted for review by Ford engineers to ensure it works properly and is suitable for use in the vehicle. Once approved, Ford will then work with the developer to provide a distribution license, after which the app is submitted to the relevant app marketplace.
New AppLink-enabled apps
In addition to the launch of the Developer Program, Ford has worked with several new partners to offer SYNC AppLink-equipped vehicle owners all-new voice-activated versions of their apps.
To showcase the global nature of the Developer Program and launch of AppLink in Europe and Asia later this year, Ford has announced a collaboration with Sina to enable its Weibo mobile app with AppLink for use in Ford vehicles to provide news, weather, microblogging and location-based services. Sina is an online media company serving China and the global Chinese communities. The digital media network of SINA.com (portal), SINA.cn (mobile portal) and Weibo.com (social media) enables Internet users to access professional media and user-generated content in multimedia formats from the Web and mobile devices and share their interests with friends and acquaintances.
"Our Developer Program is open and available to anyone around the world," said John Ellis, global technologist for Ford Connected Services. "A key advantage of our approach is the ability to quickly have relevant apps and services to support the launch of AppLink in Europe and Asia, by making it easy for local developers to tell us what the most popular and important apps are to suit the buyers in that region."
Other new app partners that joined the existing Ford AppLink ecosystem include:

SYNC history
SYNC was co-developed by Ford and Microsoft based on the recognition that consumer electronics evolve much more rapidly than vehicles. The connectivity system was architected to work with the mobile devices that drivers use every day, while providing an upgrade path that can bring new capabilities into the vehicle.
Since debuting in 2007 on the Focus, Ford has added numerous features to SYNC including AppLink, 911 Assist, Vehicle Health Report and SYNC Services, a cloud-based service network featuring traffic reports, turn-by-turn directions, business search, news, sports scores and movie listings.
"Thanks to our partner Microsoft and their expertise, we have turned the car into a development platform with extensive opportunities to continue to add value through new features delivered at the speed consumers now expect," said Doug VanDagens, global director of Ford Connected Services. "With more than 1 billion smartphones now in service around the world, we expect mobile connectivity will continue to grow in importance."

It's Bake Cookies Day! At our house Christmas cookies are a must and everyone has their favorite. For my daughter, it's the no bakes and Buckeye bars. For my stepson it's Snickerdoodles and even though he no longer lives with us, a box gets mailed every year. For Tadpole, there isn't a cookie he doesn't like. However, sugar cookies in different shapes are required, including Santa Claus with black boots. He even special ordered Santa cookie cutters so I could make them like his mother use to when he was a kid. Sometimes they disappear before I can even ice them. Those are made last so they last through the holiday. Plus my daughter enjoys icing them with me.

A description of a wide-aperture 90-degree bending magnet is presented. This magnet was designed as a part of a beam delivery system of the heavy-ion therapy facility developed in GSI, Darmstadt, Germany. A concept of the "almost window frame" magnet with the air slots in a yoke ensures a homogeneous field (ΔB/B<±0.01%) over the area of 200×200 mm2 in the central part of the magnet in a wide range of the flux density variation. The expected integral field homogeneity of the magnet is better than ±0.02% and corresponds to the required beam positioning accuracy of ±1 mm. The dynamic behavior of the magnet is investigated. The main time constant of the magnet is calculated.

Nine bombings mainly targeting Shiite-majority areas of Baghdad killed at least 14 people and wounded dozens more on Wednesday, officials said, as Iraq suffers its worst violence in years.
The country has been hit by a year-long surge in bloodshed that has reached levels not seen since 2008, driven by widespread discontent among its Sunni Arab minority, and by the bloody civil war in neighbouring Syria.
Baghdad is one of the most frequently-targeted cities in the country and is hit by near-daily bombings and shootings.
The seven car bombs and two roadside bombs, which struck in six different areas of Baghdad, also wounded more than 70 people, the sources said.
The deadliest single attacks were car bombs in the Karrada district of central Baghdad and Shuala in the capital's north, each of which killed three people.
While there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attacks, Sunni jihadists often target members of Iraq's Shiite Muslim majority, whom they consider apostates.
The Baghdad blasts came a day after suicide bombers attacked the city council headquarters in Samarra, north of Baghdad, and took employees hostage.
Another bomber detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle after police and anti-Al-Qaeda militiamen arrived at the scene, while the two inside the building also blew themselves up after exchanging fire with security forces.
The violence, which showcased the impunity with which militants can strike even targets that should be highly secure, killed five people and wounded 47.
Militants have carried out similar assaults elsewhere in Salaheddin province, north of Baghdad, and battled security forces for control of the Sulaiman Bek area, leaving dozens dead.
The Iraqi government also faces a more than two-month crisis in Anbar province, west of Baghdad, where it has lost all of the city of Fallujah as well as shifting parts of provincial capital Ramadi to anti-government fighters.
It is the first time anti-government forces have exercised such open control in major cities since the peak of the deadly violence that followed the US-led invasion of 2003.
More than 370,000 people may have been displaced by violence in Anbar during the latest crisis, according to the United Nations.
Violence in Iraq has killed more than 1,790 people since January 1, according to AFP figures based on security and medical sources.
