Editorial Summary

Ali, a crew member on Royal Caribbean's Rhapsody of the Seas, documents a shore excursion to the uninhabited Rhenia Island while visiting Mykonos, Greece. The creator explains that crew members with time off can participate in these excursions, acting as escorts during the initial organization phase before enjoying the activities themselves. The trip includes a boat ride to a secluded beach area intended for relaxation and swimming. Upon arrival at Rhenia Island, the creator notes the lack of infrastructure, observing that there are no stores and very few buildings. The excursion features activities such as snorkeling and enjoying local treats. While the creator mentions having difficulty with a snorkel mask due to eye sensitivity, the overall experience is described as a peaceful escape from distractions. The day concludes with a sailboat ride back to the main port. Although the return journey caused some seasickness, the creator concludes that the excursion is worth the effort because of the quiet environment and the helpfulness of the boat staff.
