Caribbean - Southern Cruise Reviews

Good cruise with many choices. The staff seemed genuinely interested in making my trip memorable

Wonderful cruise. All ports of call excellent. Could have spent more time in Bonaire.

Really enjoyed our room & it's location. The staff was always polite & helpful. The food was good & entertanment was good most nights. The pool deck was very crowded & too much loud music, but the indoor pool area was much quieter. Would have liked a bingo night, but enjoyed entertainment in theater & several sing alongs in main area. Fun to have bocci & pickleball available.

Great cruise and fantastic weather. Had a wonderful time with friends and the staff were great!!!

We have gone several times the particular week we went & it was never this crowded. Many of the staff seemed new and not at all sure of themselves. Additional training definitely needed. Kids needs to have a pool of their own and not be allowed in hot tub.

Great staff, relaxing trip, loved the 8 nights. I wish the larger ships did more 8+ night cruises.

Harmony is a great ship, just very large and I felt very much for children/teens. For a couple, there wasn't a whole lot for us to do. We stayed mainly in the Solarium during the day which was peaceful, but there isn't a plunge pool to cool off. We did get into the shade eventually in the Solarium and enjoy some games and drinks with friends in the afternoons.

My only regret is that it's over! We had a fantastic time as always!!

As stated,Ports were excellent, insufficient time to enjoy Bonaire. Too much time at sea for such a small ship.

Not one of the best royal Caribbean ships ports excellent but main menus has been downsized buffet crappy

Our first cruise was amazing. Everything we hoped for and so much more. Thank you to CruiseOnly for making this happen with little effort on our part. Will definitely be taking another one next year!

The food in the specialty restaurants was great. Main Dinning room was mostly good for dinner. Breakfast and lunch was not took too long. Windjammer was mostly good. Not enough choices for snacks and mid-day eating.

Lovely experience, but we still enjoy the larger ships even though we never use the water slides. Overall, glad we went on this ship as it has been about 12 years since we were on one of the smaller ships. I guess we just like the many things to do on a big ship.

Booking was a horrible experience. You have to be 21 years ago to room by yourself. allowed us to put 2, 20 year olds in a room together. Royal threatened to cancel us, over 11 hours on phone, plus 1hr at Royal boarding counter.

The ship is clean, the food very good, the staff very helpful. We would enjoy sailing on the Rotterdam again.

I would have rated this cruise as average or slightly above if Holland had not totally messed up the itinerary. As it turned out, we only had one port (Curacao) to enjoy a beach or excursion.

This is nice ship, not too big, with a relatively logical design. There's a lot of activities, mostly the usual games, trivia, show, comedians. Newer to us on this line were coloring, a painting class, a mixology class, tai chi classes, some educational talks, and live classical music recitals. The Crow's Nest is a great place to relax indoors and still watch the ocean go by. There are also some good drink deals which I've never seen on any other mainstream cruiseline, including a complimentary sail-away party on our one real port day. The one smoking area unfortunately is particularly offensive, as the smoke permeates the entire aft pool area plus many indoor areas in the vicinity. Overall, a good cruise with very good food (try ALL the breads!) and fabulous service.

Overall, we had a great trip. The ports were great. Staff on the ship were friendly. I enjoyed the reggae band that played on this cruise, especially when they played on the pool deck. They were phenomenal.

Relaxing, I loved meeting the captain, and the crew, I know so many working behind the scenes to make this a great voyage. Food outstanding. Entertainment was good and varied. I need to embrace the virtual communications better, as I miss the write ups that were given regarding each island and what to expect. Did not like the drink package option of all in the cabin must purchase, I understand it, but do not like it. I am a '1 star mariner' but did not know if that included anything? but no matter, I prefer Holland America ships for the size and pace. Thank you - I brought a friend that had never sailed before, and she is ready to go again, so you made another cruiser of her.

Definitely purchase the KEY option with Royal Caribbean (early embarkation; late debarkation; VIP seats in theatres). DO NOT purchase the Internet package. I'm still fighting with them about a refund. It was so inconsistent that we couldn't rely on it. One of us had to fulfill some work obligations while onboard (or we wouldn't have been able to go at all), and he missed two meetings and multiple emails.
