Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Harmony of the Seas

I have never gone on a ship this big and in fact when the Freedom of the Seas first came out I sailed on it and did not like it as I thought it was too big. That being said, I absolutely LOVED Harmony of the Seas. While it may hold 6,000 plus guests it did not feel crowded at all! The pool area was usually busy in the day but the Solarium for adults only was always quiet and uncrowded. The ...

I have cruised many times on many different lines and was skeptical of taking this large ship with so many people. My grandsons ages 11 and 6 have a spring break from their school so we try to schedule different family trips. I thought what a fun vacation for the boys and they would be fascinated with the size of this ship. They thought the Disney Fantasy was big but nothing compared to Harmony. I ...

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 booked this trip about six months ahead and we were super exited. I managed to book all our shows before we left and also booked our excursions ahead. We received an email a few days before we were due to sail explaining they are completing a deep clean and asked us not to arrive until 12. This was disappointing but we honoured this only to realise lots of people were onboard from ...

Warning, long review incoming. We have sailed Disney three times, and this was our second RC cruise. First time on this class ship. Ship/Cabin: Getting on board was a breeze. We were emailed and asked to show up not before noon. We showed up at noon and were on the ship by 12:25. Our room was ready at 1:00 and our luggage was already there. Very nice sized balcony room, and worth the ...

So, let me preface this review by saying that I am NOT a cruiser. I’m more of a secluded, quiet, adults-only resort type of person. But I have children, and we all need to be happy on vacation, so we decided to take a cruise. We had been on a Disney cruise once before, which my children loved, but we were reluctant to pay that much again, so we decided to try Royal Caribbean. We chose it because ...

We were excited to try out the new ship. There was my husband, myself and 2 sons (aged 16 & 22). Cabin - 10320 it is on the port side and had a convertible sofa. Configuration is bed first and then sofa by the balcony door (some cabins have the sofa bed when you enter the room adn the bed by the balcony door). First off the second "bed" is a trundle bed under the sofa - both boys said that ...

This our third cruise. Many positives. A few negatives. First the positives. Dining room food and service exceeded expectations considering some of the reviews we read. Food was good. Portions are small but that is fine with me. Don't like overeating. Service was perfect every night. My Time Dining was flawless. Longest wait to be seated all week was 5 minutes. Our enjoyment of the shows ...

We opted for this cruise for the experience and time to explore the Harmony of the Seas and also escape from northeastern winter. Embarkation was delayed for some reason and it was a canumdrum when boarding began as we stood for over an hour. The ship, staff and entertainment was excellent,especially the bar service and the main dr waiters. We had been to the ports of call many times ...
