First of all I'd like too mention the Staybridge Suites in Fort Lauderdale where we stayed the night before. Nice hotel with complimentary transportation too the cruise port which I thought was a huge perk. This was our fourth cruise and embarkation was the fastest we have ever experienced. Popular opinion is too get on the ship as early as possible. In my opinion I am going too wait till later ...
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 ...
The last few years, my vacations have consisted of going to All-Inclusive Resorts instead of cruising. It had been over 15 years since I've been on a cruise. As I had some vacation days I needed to use before the end of the year (Use them or lose them scenario) I decided to mix things up and do another cruise this time instead of going to a resort. Deciding on doing a cruise instead of going to ...
We selected this cruise for a 50th-year reunion of college frat. Entry to the ship was very organized and quick as was exiting the ship at the end of the cruise, The problem was the cruise. They are not designed to handle 6,000 people on this ship. all of the venues are too small to handle the crowd. They have one main show at night but have 2 main dining sittings, Does management have ...
HARMONY OF THE SEAS - GOOD, NOT GREAT!
Our trip began in Tallahassee on October 29th as we drove to Orlando for a 7-day Eastern Caribbean cruise. We stopped in Gainesville and enjoyed a great breakfast at the Metro Dinner on Archer Road. We stayed at the Hampton Inn ($170/night) in Orlando near the airport (a 45-minute drive to the port). On Sunday, October 30th, we left the hotel at 9:00 am ...
I chose this cruise because my close friend wanted to sail on an Oasis class ship. I have sailed on other Oasis class ships prior to this one. The ship is full of things to do and see. However, it can be very crowded at the "My Time" dinner hours. We've waited on long lines to enter the dining room for dinner. The dining room supervisors try to get everyone into the dining rooms from the ...
My wife and I took this cruise in oct of ‘22. I’ve done about 10 cruises thus far and this was by far the most frustrating experience I have had.
First the good: only two sea days. The first stop was coco cay. Beautiful private beach, large enough to find a peaceful area.
Next stop was Nassau. Although it rained, it was still a good time hitting the straw market, craft beer bar and ...
We've enjoyed RC before multiple times but this time in every single bar there are elementary age children bellied up to all the bars at all hours. They don't enforce adults only even in the adults only solarium. No place to get away from bratty children. Even the late night shows were toned down and were full of kids. The dining was standard okay. The solarium is good for breakfast and lunch ...
