Crowded but Fun

I haven’t bothered to write a review in a number of years but thought I should, as Harmony was my first full capacity cruise since Covid hit. I’ve sailed on Harmony many times and the entertainment and activities are what keep me coming back. The food, however, leaves much to be desired. We felt the need to purchase the Unlimited Dining Package this year because of the decline in main dining room ...

I disembarked this morning so this is fresh in my mind. This itinerary took us to Labadee, which is a private cove in Haiti. We also went to Curaçao and Aruba. Included in this were 4 sea days as well. Ship: The good. The ship was incredible! From the variety of places to eat, explore, and entertainment venues. We did not do any speciality restaurants on this trip but I was amazed that ...

Were were Back2Back 11/26/22 and 12/4/22 We are long time cruisers. We have loyalty to Royal and achieved D+ some years ago. We have experienced Holland, Celebrity, Carnival, Costa, MSC, Princess and Norwegian and it is disappointing to see the cruise experience changing to an experience looking at the bottom line more than the passenger experience. First the ship is beautiful. The decor ...

We have always enjoyed RC cruises--as the entertainment and food have been top notch. We loved our experience on our first large ship, The Allure, in October, and were hoping for a similar positive experience on The Harmony. Activities and Shows: The Aqua Show, Broadway production of Grease, the RC original stage production of Columbus, Ice Shows, Magic Shows, and Comedy on the Harmony ...

We had been on The MSC Seaside pre Covid and had such a wonderful Yacht Club Experience. This time we weren't as impressed. Here are a few of my in no spacific order observations and thoughts. There were a few things in specific we were not at all pleased with. Although the food quality is often what one sees on MSC Reviews our first experience we actually liked the options and quality of the ...

First, although Cruise Critic insists on calling this a 5-night leaf-peeper run, it was in fact a 13-night repo from New York to Miami via the Eastern Caribbean. My wife and I booked this cruise as a target of opportunity: a nice way to celebrate her birthday, a nice opportunity to see our kids in New York before the cruise, and a nice opportunity to visit cousins in Florida afterward. We chose ...

About the Reviewer: I’m a 37-year-old male who sailed with his mother to celebrate her milestone birthday. This was my second MSC Cruise, my first being on the MSC Seaside in October 2018 (there’s a review for that voyage as well). However, this sailing I was celebrating a milestone of my own as this was my 47th cruise overall and my accomplishment was hitting a full year of my life at sea! Other ...

This is another one of my part two reviews from our back-to-back Meraviglia sailings in October and November. The first part was a ten day Canadian/New England cruise in a Yacht Club interior cabin beginning October 18th. On this sailing beginning in New York City on October 28th we headed straight towards warmer waters so chose a forward facing Aurea Suite with large balcony. I’ll try to keep ...

I’m writing this review for the October 18th Canada and New England sailing from New York City. This was our seventh MSC cruise, and fourth sailing in the Yacht Club. If you look at my signature on the discussion forums you can see my other reviews where we’ve previously spent an enjoyable two weeks in a Seaside Yacht Club interior, so had no hesitation booking the same type cabin for this 10 ...

We were on the Meraviglia departing New York doing the 10 day Canada/New England cruise leaving October 18. We have been on more than 20 cruises with Princess, Holland, Celebrity, Carnival and Norwegian. We have cruised previously on the MSC Seaside and the Divina. The Meraviglia is a very large ship carrying 4500 passengers. The ship is beautiful and was very clean throughout. We found all ...
