First Cruise on a Mega Ship
"So putting this all in perspective to us means we always have a GREAT cruise and never complain about customer service.This was our first cruise on a "mega" ship and we have been on both cruise lines when past ships were then categorized as being the biggest and newest build at the time, but Harmony takes it to a different level...."Read More

We chose this cruise to get as far south as we could as we like snorkeling and beaches. We chose Harmony for the shows and entertainment. Our group consisted of my spouse and two adult daughter <30 years of age. We like to travel but have limited cruise experience. Executive Summary: I had a great time and loved the ship. We did a 3 night dining package and thought it was very good. The ship ...

Overall the cruise was fun. The crew was great and did a good job. Cabin attendant did a great job. Our balcony cabin on deck 11 was awesome. Good view. Shows were awesome! Especially the skating and aqua shows. Drinks seemed watered down. The only thing that was disappointing was the food. Windjammer was the worst we have experienced in 6 cruises. Stopped going there after day 2. Johnny Rockets ...

Embarkation: Very easy and smooth. The line moved quickly and we were on with a few minutes of being dropped off at the pier. The new pier is beautiful and well designed. The facial recognition piece is really nice. Rooms: Available right at 1:00 pm as promised and one piece of our luggage came quickly. We had an issue with the loudness of the family/children next door to us and they ended ...

The Grease performance was unnecessarily crude and vulgar. How many times do high school girls need to flip people off. The performers were good, the sets only okay. Would have been better if they’d stayed closer to the original movie. I felt many parts just seemed slow and boring. “Journey in Time” was very good. Amazing skating very good story. They took us back in time with great costumes, ...

We had wanted to take an oasis class for a very long time, and a year ago, some friend suggested we take this cruise to the eastern Caribbean. After having a previous eastern Caribbean cruise taken out from under me, due to a hurricane, we chose this cruise with the idea that the itineraries would remain the same – yes we know it was hurricane season, but we took a chance. two days before ...

In preparation for any trip, I read as many reviews as I can. I am submitting this short review of our recent Harmony of the Seas cruise in the hopes that someone might find it helpful. My husband and I wanted to take our adult children on a special trip to celebrate my retirement from 30 years of teaching. We decided upon Harmony of the Seas because we wanted to have a multitude of activities ...

Harmony of the Seas is quite a ship! We were part of a large group so this ship was chosen for us. Our room was beautiful, balcony overlooking Boardwalk. However, it was noisy. Our room steward was the best of all of our dozens of cruises. The entertainment was amazing. Two aqua shows, two ice skating shows, two musicals (Grease is full length). Good comedy show. We did not care for the ...

Most of my calso when you book reservation ask about how doyou like riuises are in Royal Caribbean International Cruises especially on Oasis class I love those ships but lately the food in Windjammer aren't very good and it's because the entrees, all of them, have the same taste. Also the cabin TV doesn't have the spanish channel 24 hours as Symphony of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas do only ...

Having gone on Allure, Quantum, and Oasis, this ship is a perfect blend of all of them. We honestly didn’t have time to do all the activities but the Abyss slide was really fun! The kids pool area was perfect for our six year olds. The food, and service were as expected fantastic! But St Maarten…I was expecting something like Nassau, or Jamaica, but the island is in disarray. Besides that, ...

This was a family vacation that included my wife and myself, our son, and our daughter and her husband and our 2 grandchildren ages 2 and 6 months. My wife and I have cruised many times with both Royal and Princess so I consider us seasoned cruisers. This was our first cruise on a "mega" ship and we have been on both cruise lines when past ships were then categorized as being the biggest and ...
