My family of 9 went. My husband and I (28 y.o no kids). My Brother and his wife (30 y.o with 3 kids) and my Parents (67 Y.o). So we can give you a broad overview of each family type. I wrote a lot, so I headlined everything so you jump to the part that is relevant to you. LARGE GROUP REVIEW We choose this cruise line 1.5 years ahead of time to celebrate my father retirement. We scheduled ...

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 ...

We decided to sail the Harmony of the Seas this year, and we have sailed with Royal Carribean before (Allure of the Seas) as the previous one. This time, we felt like we had the worst service and experience possible. We went as a family of 8, we had a total of 3 rooms. Service: 1. When we went to grab food from the buffet, which took forever to get in because there were constant lineups. I ...

We had a noisy cabin next door, loud music at 2am. It took 4 days and a lot of complaining to get the ship’s crew to do anything. This basically ruined the cruise and is justification for 1 star on its own. Staff are told to “push” specialty restaurants, their words. So, if you aren’t one of the many people who are happy to go to the windjammer and shovel copious amounts of sub-average food ...

Picked an Acqua Theatre suite for a first class experience. Review is mostly a comparison to NCL which I cruise on a lot. First the highlights - ship is beautiful with great wow factor (central park, acqua theatre, skating, variety of shows), acqua theatre shows were great, wifi worked well, good mobile app for your phone, nice fresh fruit smoothie bar by gym, and nice gym. Areas for ...

Poker tournament director a dink. First tournament I could not join because 5 min late. 2nd tourment one player short and he canceled 9 minutes after published start time. Main dining waits long. Only spent two days at ships pools but seen over 20 people fall on slippery deck. So dangerous. Complete incompetence to use such a slippery surface. Food in windjammers average. Chops and other ...

I choose to spend one week with my daugther cruising in the Caribbean sea. The Harmony of the Seas, to me seems a big disneyland on water. No relax. Two small pool, full of people, all the time. We did not even touched the pool for the all week. It’s a pity but it was a terrible experience to me. Never again. Maybe I was unluky, but the previews cruise experiences that I had in Europe, were much, ...

We chose this ship because i thought it would be great for my son to have his kids club and i could have alone time to read and relax. The kids club was one single room for his age that the kids never left, hence no exercise at all. Also there was only one attendant for 50+ kids and another checking people in. There were no games, no artwork, nothing. My son was so board, he just wanted to be ...

We flew to the US specifically for this cruise. Extremely disappointed. Service was non-existent, we were constantly made to feel as an inconvenience in the main dining room and Chops Grille was terrible with service and food. We were left standing in the middle of the dining room while we waited for a table as there was no organisation. The food was so disappointing, some food was inedible and ...
