The Harmony of the seas is a beautiful ship and the cruise was a lot of fun. But there are some real issues with the number of passengers which clearly affect the quality of service and activities. I do want to add the kids loved the cruise but they recognized the limitation with having 5000+ passengers on a cruise ship. This cruise was only 80% full and the staff and activities felt very ...
This was our 2nd time on Harmony.
Issues: It was clear that there were issues with staffing. We found long lines for Guest Services, Bingo and shops during “special sales”. Lines were long at embarkation. When docking in St. Maarten there was no one at the gangway to direct us to our Shore Excursion. At Cococay we had to wait 20 minutes for a trolley to the island. The public restrooms ...
HARMONY OF THE SEAS -----MAY 2022
ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL
Our May, 2022 cruise on the Harmony of the Seas was our fifth cruise on the Harmony and the fourth cruise since cruising resumed after the covid pandemic. The good news is that cruising is almost back to normal. Notable exceptions included: Ship staff wear masks, and there was no regular aqua show with an aqua showcase substituted. The ...
Ship itself is rather stunning! Cabin was good, but smaller than we had on Carnival. A few stains on couch that apperead removable, but were not cleaned. Shower had a leak at the connection to the controls, and tv remote was broken. Replacement remote was broken as well. Food wa good, but not exceptional. Several dishes were somewhat overcooked. Ship sailed well, minimal ocean sway. ...
This cruise had the following itinerary: Depart Port Canaveral, two ocean days, one day in St Maarten, one day in St Thomas USVI, another ocean day, one day in Coco Cay, returning to Port Canaveral the following morning.
We have done several Royal Caribbean cruises in the past. The cruise was fun but not great, especially after two years cooped up due to COVID. This cruise was our second time ...
This was our first voyage on an Oasis class ship. Overall, we had a great time. The ship can be overwhelming but there was a lot to choose from. The first thing I would recommend is to get on early, find a place to camp out and get on the app and make your event reservations for events during the cruise. The staff was outstanding during the entire cruise, I did feel bad for them having to ...
Harmony itself was great but you can tell they are still struggling to get on their feet post Covid.
The good: We had a great cabin attendant. As usual my family of four (two adults and two teenagers) put him through the ringer with keeping up and he didn't disappoint. Cabin was perfect the entire time. This service is what we've come to love about RCCL. The Windjammer is good for grab ...
The staff's English was not that great. Passengers did Not have to wear masks crew did which is stupid as they all are about to get mandatory 4th booster.
Staff don't feel or act as a team. All very sperate departments. Example, getting a latte and the bakery share the same counter. You walk up to the counter where the employee is alone and ask for a latte she points to the other employee who ...
We sailed on the Oasis in July 2018--were very impressed. We liked the big ship atmosphere & food-service.
Had booked a 2020 trip on Harmony, but COVID caused the trips to be cancelled, so this trip was a make-up for that one.
I completed all documents I could on line before sailing. Wife completed the remainder on her Royal App. This made check-in very quick. Only 3500 pass . on ship ...
We were very excited to try out a large ship and Royal Caribbean, having only been on Carnival in the past. I can't believe how shocked we were with how much further ahead in service, amenities, and overall quality this ship was to our previous Carnival cruises. This made my fifth cruise overall, so I felt confident in comparing the two against each other on the first impressions and knowing what ...
