Harmony of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Quick cruise to Cozumel with extended family. We had a large group of 4 couples. The ship was incredible. The staff friendly. The amenities unparalleled. I want to take a 7+ night cruise on Harmony of the Seas.

Not everything is covered on the ship. Got lost ship is big and forgot card in room multiple times( need it for electric in room).Great staff and was nice getting away.

I was unsure of what to expect with this being our first cruise, however, my 13-year-old daughter and I are now hooked for life on cruises especially if they are anything like this one! We had a blast and cannot wait to go again! We stayed in cabin 9522 which was in the front of the ship and we felt the movement of the ship throughout the cruise whether we were in our room, walking through the ship, sitting at the pool or at dinner. It was not anymore than the feeling you get in an elevator though. The room was plenty spacious for my daughter and I. It was clean and cozy. Our room attendant was so sweet and did amazing work while we were out and about. We did not get the food or drink packages (although my sister did end up purchasing the beverage package for my daughter) and we did just fine. I enjoyed iced tea, lemonade, fruit punch, coffee and water for free throughout the day. I also purchased at least 1 if not 2 alcoholic be a day and still didn't reach the amount it would have been for the package. I traveled with 15 other family members and even though we did the my time dining after having an awesome experience the first night in the main dining room with our head waiter Raj and Assistant Head Waiter Chadrick, we decided to book those tables for the rest of the week at 745. Dinner was amazing 3 course meals with the option to get multiple items for each course. The steaks could have been less chewy and grisly but all of the other items were amazing!!! We stopped at St. Martin/St. Maarten and did the beach and shopping. I wish that we had researched which beach to go because if you ask the taxi driver like we did, they will take you to the closest beach which in this case was Great Bay Beach and it was not the best beach due to all of the debris and trash on the beach. They do this because they want to get back to the taxi station in order to fill up passengers again. Be sure to take cash with you for taxi. It was $5 per person one way in St. Martin but in St. Thomas it was $15 per person one way!!!! In St. Thomas we booked excursions through Coral World Ocean Park including the sea lion swim and the seatrek underwater adventure. Both of these were phenomenal experiences!!!! My only advice here is to make sure you give yourself 45 minutes to an hour to get from the ship to Coral world by taxi and 45 minutes to an hour to get back to the ship afterwards. If you miss your scheduled time for your activity, they will charge you a $50 rebooking fee. Also it is advisable to have them arrange for a taxi when you book your Excursion. Also make sure you allow yourself time to look at photos in the gift shop if you are interested in buying those. They will not allow you to take phones or underwater cameras to either of the adventures. We ran out of time to look at them and had to call back which resulted in having to buy all photos taken during our adventures for a total of $175. As for CocoCay, I really don't have a lot to review for this because we were at chill Island for maybe 2 hours which was really nice, but then a big rainstorm came and there were literally no places to go for shelter other than the bathrooms. The area at chill Grill only barely covered the food, but there were no covered areas for eating your food therefore everything was soaked and completely inedible. We just ended up going back to the ship. I cannot say enough about Wind Jammer and Raj the head waiter in the main dining room. They work for 8 months straight with no time off and still somehow manage to keep their energy up and smiles on their faces. Be sure to tip them extra at the end of your cruise! Also be prepared to buy photos because they are a fantastic opportunity for family photos and are extremely professional!

We had a great time on this cruise and would highly recommend this itinerary

Overall a fantastic vacation. A few too many kids though.

First recommendation is to avoid mega ships - they are all about having a shopping mall taking up the majority of the non room space on the ship. Next don't expect a cruise to be as good as your last one. I expected the cruise to cost more, but thought it would be the same experience. The food is lacking and the internet and drink prices are insane. Cruises used to be the cheapest vacation out there, but no more. When the food is lacking, everything is packed, and you can't get into the shows, you can do better getting a big room somewhere and doing the food and entertainment on your own. Unless you need 21 buffet meals of lackluster food. One great meal a day is enough for me. And if you are a moderate drinker, plan on at least $60/day for 3 drinks. And $30/day for internet, which costs the cruise line zero.

Absolutely worst cruise I have been on. Even Carnival was better than this ship

I thank you very much for giving me a good opportunity to enjoy perfect vacation with your cruise. I will take your cruise tour again next time.

I would definitely pay for the dinner plan, the dining room food was bland and the dinner was rushed (1/2 hour from bread to coffee..) Burgers at Johnny Rockets were great!!

Over all ok, But I have found while on cruise and afterwards , That the customer service isn't all that helpful and bordering useless. Biggest problem was they said I had to pay for shuttle bus back to airport, $32 for 2 people. Ended up being free for who ever jumped on it. Royal Caribbean refused to give refund and just ran me around circles and gave lots of dumb excuses. Going back to Carnival next year.

We feel Royal Caribbean gives us the best overall value for our vacation. The food & service in the main dinning room, is not to the quality & levels that it has been in the past, and that is disappointing.

This whole trip exceeded our expectations, even with the last minute itinerary change. We are already counting the days until our next cruise (522!!)

Overall the Harmony is an awesome ship and her crew was fantastic! We did specialty dining 6 nights, all were great except Jamie’s Italian and it was like Windjammer food, it was just ok! All the shows were great.

I was impressed with the staff, their attitude, the cleanliness of the ship and the food in the Wind Jammer was outstanding. Kudos to a job well done. I have cruised a lot, and I will book another cruise on the Harmony of the seas

over all good time, shops over priced and hated price matching items, main dining lacked flavor, staff friendly

It was a wonderful trip. I wish it was a longer trip!

I love the Oasis class! So much to do for the kids at every age level. Mine are older, so lots of zip lining, mini golf, ice skating, rock climbing, flow rider, and the water and dry slides. Oh, and pizza 😂 The shows were great, especially the Aqua Theater. The Main Dining Room was crowded, one of the reasons I love booking a suite and getting access to the Coastal Kitchen. Also, the food in the Coastal Kitchen is better. We splurged on Wonderland this year for my sons birthday, and they did not disappoint! Food presentation is just as important as the food itself, it was amazing! Such a show between the food and the Mad Hatter! And they definitely paid special attention to my son for his birthday. Wonderland has been my favorite specialty restaurant so far.

We would do Harmony Of The Seas again in a heartbeat! We loved it! We are Royal Loyal, so we'll be looking again soon to get back out on the ocean!

We have cruised many times on Royal Caribbean and other cruise lines and have never been disappointed. This was the first time we feel we were treated poorly by a cruise company. They actually lied to us. Guest services helped us speak to a manager and we were told we would get a full refund for our beach excursion to St John. We did not want to spend $205 to sit on the beach in the pouring rain. When we got home and the refund never appeared on my credit card I called Royal, spoke to a manager after an extremely long wait, I was told we were only receiving a 50% on board credit. We were lied to and that is unacceptable!

This cruise vacation was everything and more. The Harmony of the Seas was such a great selection thanks to our Travel Advisor's planning services. The ship and its expansive amenities and things to do. Everything was set up and our travel advisor helped us a ton when we even had some last minute changes. What a perfect family vacation. Cannot wait for the next one.
