We chose the Harmony because it was the Harmony - the newest in its class. We cruised on the Allure and the Anthem in 2017 and enjoyed both experiences so cruising on the Harmony was the natural progression. We are spoiled by the classes of these particular ships. The amazing part is that we never felt like there were around 5,999 shipmates on board. The ship's public areas are scattered about and "break down" such large numbers of passengers. The major flaw that we noticed was that there was no pool in the Solarium. Other than that, the total experience was delightful. Eben the disembarkation and embarkation at port of calls is easy breezy! The entertainment and the variety of entertainment options is awesome. Lunch and dinner in Jamie's was exceptional. My Time dining ran smoothly and the menu selections, although limited, were excellent. The Assistant cruise director hosted an outstanding Meet and Mingle Cruise Critic party with abundant, valuable prizes. We opted for a Central Park inner balcony on the 11th floor and had immediate, convenient access to the elevator banks. The room was spacious with extraordinary storage space. Our room steward was completing her contract with our cruise ending but was on top of absolutely everything and delightful to talk to. We gave her cash in a card and chocolates as it was Valentine's Day and that evening, she left a heart shaped towel animal with a gorgeous rose. The Diamond Lounge was filled to capacity most evenings but the wait staff was attentive to our requests and we joyed the quick and perfect responses of waiter Francis. She was a very hard worker. A good time was had by all.

Cabin Review

Central Park View Stateroom with Balcony

Cabin C2

well designed and perfectly maintained by our room steward, Abundance of storage space and a great location to access other areas of the ship easily. Generic shampoo/body wash in a pump on the shower wall, but I did discover I could have asked for small bottles of such items. Limited hooks to dry the bathing suits; missed the pull out drying line. Television channels limited to MSNBC or FOX; no movie channel but Movies On Demand available for $12.99. Internet connection was strong.
