The Biggest but not the Best

We have chosen the Harmony because she is brandnew and huge......That was a mistake! We never had the impression to be on a ship but more in a big shopping mall and on deck Disneyland! The whole ,of my life, I have been working at sea and I have never seen a vessel where the lifejackets are NOT in the cabin. My stateroom was on deck 12 and in case of emergency I should go to deck 5 (Royal ...

Being a curious cruiser I wanted to get to know the ship. It was just too crowded, everywhere. Just too many people even for a ship of this size. You had to qeue up most everywhere. Except for the paid restaurants the service was poor. Cleanliness in Windjammer and pool-side was poor. Stuff were mostly friendly. Variety of food in the free restaurants like Windjammer and Solarium ...

We have cruised twice before with Carnival and P & O. Each time we had heard how much better Royal Caribbean were, so we were super excited to get aboard the ship. My wife and I travelled with our 18 year old daughter and 17 year old son. We picked this ship mainly for the variety of things to do on it to interest them. The good points: Embarkation was a breeze. Probably about 30 mins max ...

We were a family group of 12 with ages from 5 - 74. This is the 12th ocean cruise for me and my husband and the 5th with RCL. We had sailed before with Princess, RCL, NCL and Oceania. The ship is beautiful and the atmosphere is very vibrant. Because of the amount of activities onboard, it is very suitable for family reunion. However, the service level was very mediocre. Main Dining ...

We wanted to try out the new ship which definitely didn't disappoint. it's modern feel and spacious layout were great. The cabins had so much storage space the layout was great. A couple of times we turned on the TV to watch the olympics, the TV was so big and bright. Our stateroom person, Jingjing was awesome, great service and she had a wonderful personality. Unfortunately this is where the ...

Let's do the good to bad game. EXCELLENT: the ship is an engineering marvel, and your jaws will drop the moment you set foot at the ship. It's like stepping into a DreamWorks movie. Choice of food in the main dining rooms is extensive.The evening shows are the best we have ever seen. The rooms were clean. GOOD: most staff is friendly, the guest service is doing everything to help you, the ...

Cruised with my husband and our 2 adult daughters. We picked this cruise based on the ports, because we've never been to Europe, so it seemed like a great way to get a taste of a few cities. We enjoyed all of the ports and our excursions, even though one was cancelled due to lack of participation and we had to select another. We selected traditional dining, but did try one of the restaurants ...

I will preface this review by stating that the ship is beautiful, the service was excellent, and the food onboard was probably the best I have ever seen on Royal Caribbean (We have cruised with RCL 10+ times). There were a lot of "wow" factors about the ship but there was one aspect of the ship that was a source of major disappointment for me - I'll start with that first and save the good stuff ...

Having cruised with Royal Caribbean on Navigator and Allure we couldn't wait to cruise the Med on Harmony to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Let me say firstly, we had a great holiday and if you were a first time cruiser you would be blown away, however as a repeat cruiser I was left a bit disappointed. Pros - Great Ports and excursions. We booked two through RC La Speiza ...
