Harmony of the Seas is a beautiful ship. Embarkation was breeze with no wait time. We arrived at 11:20 and were on the ship by 11:30 (30 minutes prior to our scheduled embarkation time). Our room was not ready so we went and had lunch. When we got to our cabin at 1pm, our luggage had already arrived and we were unpacked on enjoying on board activities by 2pm. We had a junior suite and it was lovely and clean. We did miss the "lounge" type atmosphere that we have found on the main deck (promenade) on other ships. This level on this deck was more like a shopping mall. I missed having a nice carpeted area with comfortable chairs to sit and listen to music, watch people or have a drink without having to go into one of the bars.

The crew was extremely attentive to our needs, from our cabin steward to the wait staff in the main dining room who were all excellent. I am vegan and our head waiter went out of his way to ensure that I had something I could eat with my dietary restrictions at dinner each night. The food was amazing.

We found personnel in the shore excursions department and guest services to be somewhat helpful. We were given mis information about a shore excursion and about returning a watch by someone in guest services and had to research on line what the return policy was. However, another guest services employee went out of his way to assist me in making phone calls to report a lost credit card in one of the ports, and another shore excursion rep cleared up the misunderstanding on the shore excursion.

Cabin Review

Junior Suite with Balcony

Cabin JS

Room was large, plenty of storage to include walk in closet. Cabin was clean and well maintained. Bathroom tile was lovely and very well kept and clean. Sliding glass door to balcony so you could leave it open. Couch was very uncomfortable however, how much time do you spend there? No outlets in bathroom so you had to do your hair in the cabin. No double sinks in bathroom. I have seen larger bathrooms in smaller cabins on other cruise lines. Adequate outlets in the main cabin, except only one nightstand had an outlet. No drawers in the nightstands.

Port Reviews

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

We decided to some shopping at the port. What a mistake. The people working in the shops were pushy, hard sell and wouldn't take no for an answer. It was annoying to the point that we went back to the boat early.
