We have travelled on various Msc ships, and really enjoyed the experience. This is their first venture into large ships, and they haven't got it right.
The buffet area seating increases in size, but the service area has not, its chaos at peak times. They have done away with the bar lounges and made them open plan, its lost the atmosphere totally, and the service is terrible, as again the bars ...
Fantastic ship and great entertainment.
Food in 5 dining rooms was poor.
Cold food and slow service. Moussaka and risotto like stodge. And tasteless.
Small portions for a three course meal. The roast beef was the only decent main course and it was 3 little slivers of meat. Not suitable for male diners.
However the puddings were very good.
We didnt try the specialises restaurants. ...
We take two cruises a year and this is the first time we saw a disaster in the accommodation for the sitting at restaurants and fine-dining establishments. The service was terrible, with absolutely no manners from any part of the crew or staff. The Buffet had poor selections along with even worse choices in the dining room. I never saw a beef steak, shrimp, or a lobster. The water in the dining ...
The ship is very nice, we boarded at Genoa for 7 nights. We have never done MSC, always Celebrity, NCL etc so was looking forward to a change. It certainly was!!
We had booked Aurea class so checking in was quick as you by-pass the lines. The cabin wasnt ready till 4pm, as clearly we were the first to use it as it was covered in dust and I had to ask the the steward for our key cards.
We ...
We are on a trans Atlantic crossing from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale on the inaugural cruise of Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas. We chose a balcony room overlooking the Boardwalk - #11723.
The room is quite spacious - the king size bed is close to the balcony with two very small nightstands with no drawers. The bedding is very comfortable. There is plenty of storage space - room ...
We have never posted a review on cruise critic before. We are not sure if we are just not so much in awe of this class ship as we previously were on the Oasis and the Allure but we felt this ship did not compare. We were happy with our Ocean balcony cabin but our cabin steward was mediocre. The dining room food was decent but again, mediocre. The Windjammer had better food than the dining ...
We have over 18 cruises under our belt. But this ship topped them all. We were privileged to cruise the historic trip from Spain to Ft. Lauderdale and witnessed first-hand the coming together of Allure and Oasis with the Harmony in Ft. Lauderdale. What an experience! And what a beautiful and well-appointed ship. Despite the 6,000 passengers, we did not feel crowded or boxed-in. The food was ...
We were nervous about this ship as we usually prefer Radiance class ships which are rather smaller but the ship was fantastic and the entire cruise was great. We never felt that the ship was too big, and the ambiance and the extra facilities were wonderful. The shows were outstanding and the use of new technologies helped immensely . Really enjoyed the abyss and water slides with no queues but I ...
More and more we enjoy the transatlantic cruises - sea days are a blessing for us so having so many in a row is a wonderful chance to kick back and truly get in relaxation mode. The one way airfare booked through RCCL is so reasonable that it makes the decision to do both fall and spring TA's a no brainer for us. Plus, we live in Florida so either the beginning or end of our journey makes it very ...
Embarkation and disembarkation went very smooth and fast.
The ship itself is awesome and big.
There are enough things to do on board.
The stateroom was big, comfortable and had enough space to put your clothes and other stuff away
Dining was excelent and the food delicious.
Entertainment and activities are good.
Service was very poor (I had booked a stateroom decoration as a ...
