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

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 ...

Firstly I just want to say how good the service was at every restaurant especially at the main dining hall. We ordered kosher food every and within minutes the food arrived. And every meal was so delicious. The ship was so big I could've been on it for another year there were so many things I didn't get to do that looked like so much fun. There was entertainment every night whether it was an aqua ...

This ship was great, since we are now doing the suite life, the suite lounge and staff were great, from the time we got on till we got off. I would recommend this cruise to anyone. We had the dining plan so only ate once in the main dinning room. The food was great at every venue. Found our new favorite restaurant was Wonderfand. The food was both fun and amazing. The wemsical and happy ...

First of all sorry for the bad english :-) 3 years ago i got cruising on Oasis of the Seas and i was so well impressed that i decided to sail on another Oasis Class ship. We were 6 women (around 50 yo) from Rome, Italy. It was my 4th cruise with RCI, and 1st for my friends. I could find some differences from Oasis of the seas, more kids on the Harmony maybe caused by the introduction of ...

Always heard from earlier cruisers that once you go cruising, you can't go back to your beloved "all-inclusive destinations" and now I know why. Only thing that I can't stress enough is always, always and always take a direct flight no matter the cost. Even though I had planned well,our connection was delayed 8 times ( not a typo ) before it really took off. Never again AA. Speciality ...

We planned this vacation around visiting family in Florida and were so excited to cruise with Royal Caribbean again after many years. The ship was large, fun and the staff was very professional. Since it had been many years since we cruised with RCCL we didn't know what to expect. The food in the main dining room was better than we had read in cruise critic reviews. We enjoyed Chopped Grill ...

Hi everyone: I have previously reviewed my cruises on Silverseas, Crystal, Oceania, Regent and Seabourne. This time, we figured “OK, so we won’t eat steak and lobster every night, let’s save some money and try Royal Caribbean.” We were pleasantly surprised. As my title suggests, despite the fact that the ship was full to capacity—well over 6500 people, you would never know it. The ship ...

I traveled with my wife March 1st. . We had an amazing time. Got to and on the boat with absolutely no issues. T he boat was full and loaded families with kids. Later I was told it was still spring break not aware of that it booking time but it Didn’t matter we were able to escape to the solarium where we spent our days, The reality is though the the pool area was overrun ...
