This is my sixth cruise and second this year on Royal Caribbean. The first one this year was on Allure of the Seas in a Sky Class Suite and this most recent cruise was also in a Sky Class Suite. The ship, room and room steward were great. In fact the whole crew was really outstanding. Most of our meals were in the Suite Lounge or specialty restaurant and other than Jamie’s all food and service ...

Trip was for Granddaughter to see some highlights of Europe... Especially of Barcelona, Florence, Rome and Naples. The staff for the most part was quite good. Loved the concierge in the Diamond Lounge, our cabin steward and our waiters. Had a 2+ hour wait in line to get to see a member of the Guest Relations staff. In calling for a wake-up call, had often a 5 to 10 minute wait to speak to ...

We chose Royal Caribbean because we thought they had a good reputation but we definitely should have investigated ahead of time on Trip Advisor. We wanted a great trip with our university-aged children as a last chance at a family vacation with "just us". We booked nice staterooms with balconies and prepared for a great experience. We even booked business-class airline seats as a surprise and ...

I decided to go on this cruise because I have been on the sister ships, Oasis and Allure. Even though I was looking forward to the cruise it did not start off well and things went from bad to worse. I booked a Balcony cabin on deck 8 but when I arrived at the port they told me that my cabin had been sold and I would have to go into a different cabin. They put me in one on deck 14. ...

Too much hype. Do not go IF you are Indian Vegetarian.

We thought it would be a lifetime moment; cruising on the biggest ship in the world but soon found out that it was so over rated. -Food: this was the most let down. RC is a disaster when it comes to quality of food. The buffet restaurant Windjammer serves mediocre food. The choice is particularly limited for Indian Vegetarian. My advice for Indians...just dont go for the hype. RC just does not ...

Worst cruise ever; Harmony of the Seas should be renamed Hazard on the Seas!

We were sold this as an inaugural cruise, it was not, in fact even the cruise director alluded to it as a test voyage or words to that effect, And it certainly was testing! areas closed down, not enough seating, at times it seemed like there were more contractors on board then passenger's, areas all around the ship still being worked on. Toilets on one deck had no fittings, no proper sanitary ...

this ship should be renamed the disaster of the seas, I booked what I thought was a maiden voyage but it was really a test run for a building site at sea.... I paid full price for my cabin which I have to say was nice but no flushing toilet for day had to use communal toilets.... the water to the wash hand basin did't work for 1 day either which was a pain... there was work men everywhere ...

Largest ship in the world; biggest disappointment

Extremely disappointed with this cruise. My husband and I were excited to be going on this brand new ship on its first cruise - being regular cruisers with Royal Caribbean we expected their usual high quality and standards. The on boarding was managed very quickly and within 15 minutes we were on board. This was the only organised part of the cruise. We headed straight to the Windjammer for ...

Harmony of the Seas - RAW Chicken and Poor Health and Safety

Harmony of the Seas – 22-26/05/2016 I'm not able to attach here, but I have photographic evidence of raw chicken that was served in the Windjammer buffet on the Harmony of the Seas and video footage of the ongoing construction, which will be put on Twitter. The cruise was sold to us as the ship’s maiden/debut/inaugural voyage, however when it became apparent that the ship would not be ready, ...

You would not want to experience a cruise as bad as this one.

This was the first sailing of Harmony carrying fare paying passengers. The ship was like a building site and no regard was paid to passenger safety. I saw a missing glass panel missing from deck 16. Yes the panel that prevents you falling overboard ! It was not fitted till 24 hours AFTER we set sail. There where trailing wires and ladders all over the open decks, no caution signs of any kind. ...
