Cruise Ship Emerges from Shipyard Virtually New Say Owners

Royal Caribbean International's 'Rhapsody of the Seas' completes extensive refit in Singapore's Sembawang Shipyard

After a month-long $54 million dry dock, Royal Caribbean International's cruise ship Rhapsody of the Seas has emerged from Singapore's Sembawang Shipyard (a subsidiary of Sembcorp Marine Ltd.) as a virtually new ship say the owners. The newly refurbished liner will have a host of new dining options, visual entertainment and  amenities following this bow-to-stern transformation.

Guests also will find that staying connected at sea will be easier with Wi-Fi availability throughout the ship and enjoy a host of technology enhancements that include, flat-panel televisions in all staterooms, an outdoor LED movie screen on the pool deck, as well as a digital way-finding system, all of which made their debut on Royal Caribbean's latest and world's most innovative sister ships, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas.
