Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Harmony of the Seas

We had a noisy cabin next door, loud music at 2am. It took 4 days and a lot of complaining to get the ship’s crew to do anything. This basically ruined the cruise and is justification for 1 star on its own.
Staff are told to “push” specialty restaurants, their words. So, if you aren’t one of the many people who are happy to go to the windjammer and shovel copious amounts of sub-average food ...

Picked an Acqua Theatre suite for a first class experience. Review is mostly a comparison to NCL which I cruise on a lot.
First the highlights - ship is beautiful with great wow factor (central park, acqua theatre, skating, variety of shows), acqua theatre shows were great, wifi worked well, good mobile app for your phone, nice fresh fruit smoothie bar by gym, and nice gym.
Areas for ...

Poker tournament director a dink. First tournament I could not join because 5 min late. 2nd tourment one player short and he canceled 9 minutes after published start time. Main dining waits long. Only spent two days at ships pools but seen over 20 people fall on slippery deck. So dangerous. Complete incompetence to use such a slippery surface. Food in windjammers average. Chops and other ...

I choose to spend one week with my daugther cruising in the Caribbean sea. The Harmony of the Seas, to me seems a big disneyland on water. No relax. Two small pool, full of people, all the time. We did not even touched the pool for the all week. It’s a pity but it was a terrible experience to me. Never again. Maybe I was unluky, but the previews cruise experiences that I had in Europe, were much, ...

We chose this ship because i thought it would be great for my son to have his kids club and i could have alone time to read and relax.
The kids club was one single room for his age that the kids never left, hence no exercise at all. Also there was only one attendant for 50+ kids and another checking people in. There were no games, no artwork, nothing. My son was so board, he just wanted to be ...

We were disappointed in the following:
1. The adults only solarium area on the ship had kids in it all the time. We even said something to someone and their response was “well as long as their parents are with them they will be fine”. Very disappointed. We came without our kids so we didn’t have to deal with them and the only adults only place allowed kids in there
2. There was supposed to ...

We flew to the US specifically for this cruise. Extremely disappointed. Service was non-existent, we were constantly made to feel as an inconvenience in the main dining room and Chops Grille was terrible with service and food. We were left standing in the middle of the dining room while we waited for a table as there was no organisation. The food was so disappointing, some food was inedible and ...

To be fair this cruise departed Ft. Lauderdale when TS Alberto was in the GoM. Many activities and areas were closed Days 1 - 4. It seemed the crew followed that lead. Only on Day 6 - 7 did it become a good cruise but clearly way over crowded.
Our first RCI cruise. Bad luck or the future of mega ship cruising?
So where do I start?
Pools at 4x capacity, spas at 2x capacity. Pools ...

Chose this cruise due to this being the biggest boat and I had a bad experience with a previous Royal Cruise and was willing to try again but only was disappointed snd this was the WORST!!! We paid over 300.00 for a couple massage that came with the hot tub soak. The massage was great and relaxing but afterwards you were pressured very hard into buying the product they used on you and many times ...
