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 ...
Cannot comment on the Eastern Caribbean itinerary as this 7-Night Eastern Caribbean cruise ended up going to Cozumel and Costa Maya due to the hurricane and subsequent last-minute itinerary change the week of. Even with that, outside of the confusion surrounding excursions and making reservations the first 2 days of the voyage (reservation system was down and excursions were slowly being added), ...
Fourth cruise with Royal and sixth cruise overall. We choose this cruise for the ship. Always something to do on a Oasis class ship. Overall this was a great cruise. I will list the pro's first then what few con's
PROS
1)Ship overall was great. Always something going on for you to do. Never had a problem doing anything we wanted, just had to have a reservation or allow enough time to ...
Over all the trip was great. Few minor mishaps on embarkment day and the one day my eye glass flew overboard. Embarkment was a chaotic. No direction really. There were set boarding times but no one was following them. Ours was at 11:30 and we had the Key program (highly recommended, at least for us). Key - early check-in, special security and check-in lines, free lunch on the first day, free ...
Booked this cruise because the date worked for us.Started with RC losing our bus transfer. Sat at airport for 2 hours waiting for the bus once they figured it out. Had no idea how big this boat was. Room 14708. Terrible! Under the basketball court. Thump all Day. Worst bed We've ever slept in. Rock hard, like sleeping in a hole. Room was beautiful. Room steward Hernaldo was exceptional! Great ...
We have sailed on most of the major cruise lines such as Holland, NCL, Princess, Carnival, and Royal. We're Diamond Plus on Royal. Our August '22 trip on the Harmony was one of the best we've experienced.
We arrived within our appointment window and were whisked inside quickly.
We particularly enjoyed our time at the entertainment venues like Grease, the ice show and the aqua theatre. Food ...
After my father passed, we (my mom, my daughter and I) decided to book a cruise for summer vacation. After years of caring for my dad, my mom decided that she wanted to go big so she wouldn't have to worry about anything, so we booked a 2 bedroom, aqua theater suite (9330). This is a star class suite so nearly everything is included.
Pre-Cruise: We were very concerned about COVID. We had not ...
Harmony of the seas, our home port ship out of Port Canaveral, is leaving later this year to be replace by the Wonder of the Seas. We bid it a good-by with a back-to-back cruise as we await the arrival of the Wonder. We took several cruises on the Harmony between 2018 and 2022 and enjoyed every one of them. We witnessed the ship and crew recovering from the Covid pandemic and their return to ...
Clearly from the heading, one of us got COVID. It was towards the end of the cruise (thankfully, I guess) and Royal did a great job of taking care of us. This was our 3rd cruise since COVID. I had some concerning symptoms an went to the medical center. Was diagnosed there. The head nurse was nice, the male nurse practitioner from the US was not nice. We are both vaccinated and boostered. ...
