We were greeted at Southampton port by very friendly helpful staff and because we had already printed our sea passes they checked us in on their iPads. We were then free to board the ship we live in hythe near Southampton and we got a taxi to the terminal and from leaving home to getting to our room was 45 minutes very impressive. When we entered our room there were hats flags and pass holders ...
We were sold this as an inaugural cruise, it was not, in fact even the cruise director alluded to it as a test voyage or words to that effect, And it certainly was testing! areas closed down, not enough seating, at times it seemed like there were more contractors on board then passenger's, areas all around the ship still being worked on. Toilets on one deck had no fittings, no proper sanitary ...
My wife and I have just returned from the maiden voyage of Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas from Southampton to Barcellona sailing 29th May 2016. As you can imagine, the ship is huge, but don't let that put you off. There is so much to do, even on a sea day, you run out of time before its time for diner. With all the neighbourhoods that are availible there is always something to do. A coffee ...
This was a family get together and 3 nights was a good option for us. Embarkation experience was excellent but do advise on line check in beforehand. Lovely cabin, spacious, nice decor. Windjammer buffet cramped. Difficult to move around in so would not recommend. Dinners in Grande dining room normal cruise fare- nothing outstanding and food often not warm enough but Shadiek was wonderful ...
We have been wanting to go on Oasis of the Seas and hand to got round to it, so when The Harmony of the Seas released it was sailing from Southampton we couldn't wait to book it.
Prior to going we had booked the drinks packages for our family but was unable to book for our son who was 20 and Royal Caribbean usually make you sign a waver for people under 21, this proved very difficult as the ...
First off I would like to say this is going to be a fantastic ship, but not everything was completed when we sailed on it. We recently cruised on allure, so for lots of things it's the same, but there are many changes, mostly improvements! We only had 3 nights so didn’t get to experience everything, but I’ll tell you about the things we did see!
Check in took 25 mins from arriving in a taxi to ...
So we stayed on from the 1st cruise and still it's not the proper 'maiden' voyage.
Just under 300 people stayed on and we queued to swap Seapass cards over. We keep our Seapass cards as souvenirs but they never delivered our first cruise cards back to us as they did on Ovation last month.
There was nowhere to sit outside comfortably as workmen were frantically trying to get it finished. We ...
Hello I am new to this site but I thought I would like to tell about my trip on Harmony of the Seas this week There has been lots of negative reviews but I thought I would tell you all about what I thought . This is my first ever cruise I thought I would do a short one in case I didn't like it.
I was celebrating my birthday so this was a treat for me and my friend as its her birthday soon as ...
this ship should be renamed the disaster of the seas,
I booked what I thought was a maiden voyage but it was really a test run for a building site at sea.... I paid full price for my cabin which I have to say was nice but no flushing toilet for day had to use communal toilets.... the water to the wash hand basin did't work for 1 day either which was a pain... there was work men everywhere ...
We found it so exciting to be on this ship - one of the first sailings from Southampton....26 May - 29 May 2016, just me and my husband. We were looking for a short break and this was just at the right time
The Harmony of the Seas is absolutly outstanding. I really don't understand people's gripes!
The room was fantastic, the amenities, the restaraunts, food and bars. Staff so helpful and ...
