Ok, so this will be an extremely honest review of our cruise using Royal Caribbeans Harmony of the seas. This was our first cruise ever. The ship is beautiful, huge and spotless as it can be. You can hardly feel it move through the water. The staff was fantastic from top to bottom. The state rooms (we had a balcony room) were of good size, lots of closet and drawer space and the bathroom was small but roomy enough. Again, the room was maintained at least twice a day in spotless condition.

The food, slightly disappointing. The windjammer had a good selection of food but it was just ok. The main dinning rooms were beautiful but again, the food was just acceptable. Most of the entertainment such as the Grease show, ice show and the comedy act were very well done and we enjoyed it. The "Headliner" magic act was terrible, don't waste your time. But what made it even more unsatisfactory was the number of small children running around in front of the stage making noise, bumping into other guests and making it impossible to watch the show. Even the performer said to one of the fathers (during the act) in the front row that he should get control of his kids. I blame the parents more than I do Royal Caribbean but it might be a good idea to keep kids under the age of 6 from attending shows after 7pm.

Casino, it was beautiful and well staffed but it was smokey to the point where we didn't even want to go in.
