I chose this cruise for my 40th birthday gift. I traveled with my husband along with my best friend and her husband. The itinerary was what initially peaked my interest. When I saw that the ship was brand new, I was even more sold. Harmony is truly an amazing vessel. There is so much to do aboard. I wish we had more time. Embarkation in Civitevecchia was a breeze, five minutes tops!! The ship was gleaming with newness! We were greeted with a smile by staff everywhere we went. Staff was extremely helpful and polite. We did my time dining so we were not supposed to have a set table every night. The head waiter went out of his way to seat us with our favorite waitstaff for most nights. The dining staff was exceptional. They truly went above and beyond. We thought the food in the main dining room was great. We also snacked at Sorrentos pizza and the Park Cafe. We only dined in the buffet once or twice simply because we preferred breakfast in the dining room. We enjoy being served our meals.

We saw Grease and the Fine Line. We enjoyed both shows. Be sure to reserve ahead of time as they do get very crowded.

The ship can feel crowded at times but I didn't find it was any more crowded than smaller ships I have been on. All ports were beautiful. We did a few excursions through Royal and chose to explore on our own in Mallorca and Barcelona. Read more
