Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) to the Bahamas First-Time Cruisers Cruise Reviews

My husband and I who are in our early 60's booked this cruise ship as we prefer a 8-night cruise over a 7-night, along with the fact that we had never sailed on this RC ship before and it had a previous port favorite - St. Thomas and a new one - Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. We've sailed on other RC crusie ships such as Jewel of the Seas, Radiance of the Seas, Adventure of the Seas, Oasis, ...

It was a gift from my daughter and son in law. My wife and I were looking forward to dressing up for formal nights. The first night my family wasn’t impressed at all with the Silk main dinning rooms food or atmosphere. It was very cramped at dinner and disorganized.We were almost done with dinner before we could get a refill on our drinks. It wasn’t what it used to be like on my last cruise. The ...

We chose to sail on the Harmony of the Seas because we had not been on Royal since 2011, when we sailed on the Monarch of the Seas. We were tired of going on Carnival over and over again and we needed something different. That's exactly what we got on the Harmony. This was hands down the best cruise I have ever been on. The ship was absolutely stunning. If you have not been on an Oasis class ...

We chose this ship because it was a newer ship and the fantastic reviews. Embarking was quick & easy. Unfortunately the only time of year we are able to go is Spring Break, we expected a lot of families and children on board. What we didn't expect was parents allowing their children to run wild all over the ship day and night. Children were allow to run through the Casino while it was ...

What a great ship, this was our second time on Harmony and she continues to impress. This time around we opted for the 9 night itinerary and I don't know how we can ever go back to a 7 night cruise. One of the reasons Harmony continues to impress is the staff, the ship is great don't get me wrong but the staff from Captain Johnny, Mark the cruise director to our cabin steward and everyone else was ...

Harmony of the Seas is HUGE - and has something for everyone! We are an active family of 5 (with 3 teenagers) and all really enjoyed our cruise. We scored a 9-day itinerary instead of the usual 7 days, and loved the extra ports plus felt like we had time to relax and enjoy the ship. Embarkation - we flew into Ft. Lauderdale the night before, the airport / hotels / cruise port are very close ...

Overall the cruise was good with the potential of being great!!! BEWARE of the spa services.... I called twice to inquiry about the 5-7 day exercise pass. I thought this would be an opportunity to try cycling. I was told that where would be other cycling classes and the opportunity to change the time of the class. Went ahead and bought the package. Went down on the first day to verify ...

This was my first time ever cruising and probably my last with Royal Caribbean. Most of the restaurant servers are wonderful, very friendly and professional. Most of the housekeeping staff are great and the rooms and the ship are impeccably clean considering there's 6000 people on board. The cruise director was hilarious. Everyone else needs to return to customer service training or get a better ...

I had a great vacation on the Harmony of the Sea ship. The staff was excellent and very friendly. Any concerns I had were quickly resolved. I was advised on two shore excursions that were great. Particular thank you to Saghordhary Umbay Naiko, guest service officer. She was very friendly and helpful in resolving all my concerns. The rock climbing attendants gave me and my friends an exceptionally ...

My husband and I have done several cruises always have a great time but let me start by saying this by far great customer service which we have not felt this way in a long time. Shout to all staff we interacted with through out our 7 days cruise but hands done to Mercelyn, Igede, Joseph and Richard from On air bar, Nizar and Imade from American Grill Icon dining. Since day 1 we encounter smiles, ...
