I just finished a week on Harmony of the Seas from March 24-31 and wanted to give my thoughts on a few things. I used plenty of reviews in my planning process, so wanted to return the favor.
For reference, this was probably my 5th or 6th cruise. First one on Royal Caribbean and first once since Covid. This was a Spring Break cruise, and even though we are toward the end of Spring Break ...
Our recent cruise was a delightful surprise for my family and I, especially considering the negative reviews we had read prior. Despite initial concerns about poor food quality, rude staff, and other issues, we found our experience to be quite the opposite. Harmony exceeded our expectations with its excellent maintenance and upkeep. Food across all dining options surpassed our expectations, with ...
A basic cruise that went just as expected. This is not the largest or fanciest cruise but it is well maintained. The itinerary is what you can expect from a four night cruise.
We ate at the Italian and chops specialty restaurants and the service in those was great as was the food. It was very pricy in there though and they do try to sell you a picture in those restaurants.
The buffet was ...
The experience was memorable because of the world class customer service. The dining room staff were very diligent. The room service staff were excellent.
The common areas were well taken care of. All staff members were very responsive and went over the call of duty to help make client comfortable.
The pre cruise experience was great. I was kept informed of potential client board ...
We have cruised quite a bit over the years and this one amazing ship. It is large (we had 7026 total guests and a crew of 2000+. We had an inside balcony at the aft end of the ship overlooking the arcade area. We could see the carousel, the water show and the gulf looking back. Not an ideal ocean view but not bad. At least we could sit on the balcony.
The food overall was very good. On lobster ...
Cruise: Voyager of the Seas 2/19/24 5-days from Galveston to Costa Maya and Cozumel.
Who: My DH, DD, DD's best friend who we invited along to keep her company, DD's best friend's parents who decided to come too, and of course me.
For my family this was our first cruise, for DD's best friend I think that was her third, for the other parents they cruise once or twice a year. ...
We sailed previously on the Allure out of Galveston in February 2023, and we wanted to experience the Harmony, since it had been upgraded, and the Allure had not been.
We had checked in early and had an 11 AM boarding time so we headed there early in the day especially because Royal had sent multiple reminders of the Mardi Gras parades impact to traffic. However, traffic was light and we ended ...
This was a company paid cruise and my first one to go on. We had a great time and now would like to go on another! The crew were amazing! The ship was clean and full of activities for everyone in our group of all ages. The food was fantastic. The service in the main dining room was perfect. The rooms were spacious with lots of storage and the stewardess that we had was so kind and beyond helpful. ...
This was my first cruise since the COVID-19 pandemic, and I can surely say that Royal Caribbean has not only maintained its excellent service, but it has improved remarkably. I travelled with my siblings, cousins, and grandfather, the youngest in the party being 13 and the oldest, 80. We all left satisfied with our trip and are looking forward to book again with Royal soon.
The embarkation ...
I selected this cruise because it was out of Galveston and the dates lined up with what I wanted. I put blind trust into the hope I would enjoy the experience. I find that all reviews have to be sorted through to understand what to trust or not trust. Any vendor, ship, resort, product or whatever I am interested in has reviews written by very negative people or people planted to write reviews to ...
