This was our eight Oasis Class cruise but our first on Harmony. We wanted to see all the new features and Harmony did not disappoint. We had 8 in our party from first time cruisers to veterans of 35 cruises. We all had an amazing time. The upgrades throughout the ship were all well received. I liked the fact that Royal Caribbean decided to expand the solarium another deck and add another hot tub out front. My friends really enjoyed the water slides and Ultimate Abyss even more.
My wife and I stayed in the Central Park view room and found it to be perfect for our needs including two closets, thank you Royal Caribbean. The room was well appointed and very comfortable. We did the 5 night specialty dining package and had amazing dinners at 150 Central Park ( get the filet for two ) , Wonderland ( new menus upgrades from Anthem ) , Jamie's Italian and Chops twice! We also had lunch at Sabor and it as good as ever. I recommend all of them. We did not go to the main dining room at all due to Ship being at full capacity and the appearance of long lines. We did use the Park cafe and windjammer which were both excellent.
Service was excellent throughout the Ship with special attention to Kazim at the Trellis Bar. We met him on Anthem last April and he still remains a favorite. Overall, I ignored a lot of negative reviews and was smart to do so. Harmony is a Home Run! We've already booked next Super bowl...Go Pats
Cabin was bigger than anticipated with lots of storage. The rooms are designed perfectly and we really enjoyed the couch overlooking Central Park. Only complaints are the bed was more stiff than we like and our door handle was impossible to open partially broken I think. Overall, fantastic room and location.
We love Fort Lauderdale and find it to be the most convenient port.
We walked to Junkanoo Beach which was very cold water and kind of run down. It was worth a shot but won't return. We did hit the Pirate Republic brewery on the way back and had a great time there. Overall, this port is to short to really do anything. I wish Royal Caribbean would lengthen the stay.
Amazing Island. Jet ski if you can
