We traveled the week of Thanksgiving, the boat was packed but never felt crowded. The shows were top notch and enjoyable. They had a great jazz band (Les DeMerles) at Jazz on 4, Grease was well done and the performers outstanding.

We dined at Wonderland, Central Park 150, Izumi, Jamie's, Chops and last but certainly not least, Solarium Bistro. First day on, we had lunch at Chops. One of the best meals of the cruise and excellent service from Bojan (from Serbia) started our cruise on a happy note. Wonderland was a unique experience and our server, Kevin made sure we enjoyed every minute of it. Solarium Bistro for dinner (included in cruise price) was great and we only wish we'd tried it sooner. It also offers a nice buffet for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is a combination. We had a server offered select items from a menu, but could also partake of a well stocked buffet offering entrees, salad, sides, desserts. Not many folks seem to know about the Bistro, but if they discover it, I'm sure they'll start going there again and again. Our meal at Central Park 150 was wonderful. One of the best meals on the ship. We dined a few nights at Coastal Kitchen and were pleased, and we ate most breakfasts there as well. Actually, the only meal onboard that was a disappointment was Jamie's. We all selected something different and none of us enjoyed the entrees enough to finish them. The appetizer plank that came out first was plentiful and better than the main courses.

We were in a Grande Suite, #14660. While not crazy about the wall in the center that divides the bedroom from living area because it makes the room seem much smaller than the same suite on the Freedom, the division did come in handy for giving our son some privacy for his sleeper sofa when pulled out. If we sail the Harmony again, we would not book deck 14. We've been on upper decks before but never experienced as much noise as we did on this cruise. Fortunately, we weren't in the cabin enough for it to affect our pleasure with the ship. Our steward, Marcelino (from Guam if I recall correctly) was the best we've ever had. He was accommodating without being intrusive and always seemed to know what we needed before we realized it ourselves. That man was a gem! Read more
