After experiencing the Diamond Club on Allure of the Seas, high above and looking out over the beautiful ship and the ocean, the Diamond Club in a closet atmosphere (deck 4) on Harmony of the Seas was very disappointing. Poor atmosphere and same set up on Symphony of the Seas. They do virtual balconies so they should at least do the virtual views in the enclosed Diamond Clubs.

My mom and I went on this cruise because we wanted to try out one of the big ships, and we have to say we loved it! The way the ship is broken into neighborhoods it never felt crowded. Overall fun vacation!
Embarkation and debarkation:
Very smooth. We're used to other cruise lines guiding you to certain locations upon getting on the ship, but it was a free for all, figure it out yourself ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
My mom is a travel agent so I have been cruising since I was about 10. In that time I've been on four Princess, one Celebrity, and three Royal Caribbean. The Harmony of the Seas takes the cake. I was nervous that a ship that holds 5500 people would be crowded, but I can tell you at no point did I feel overwhelmed or crowded. The ship is designed to feel open. Four pools, over eight hot tubs, a ...
