For that many people to be on board and keep ship that clean is nothing short of amazing!

Ship tip

Read your cruise planners, find the things you want to do and do them. Don't try to do everything as it's not possible, remember to relax!

Balcony shot, plenty big enough for the week.

Nightly turn down. More room than I expected.

On our first RC cruise aboard the Harmony we booked her again a year later which was this past Nov....we booked our third cruise while on that second cruise. We are sailing on the Allure for a change in 45 days!

Maravilhoso

Fun cruise

Had a great time! It is a huge ship with lots to do. Although the cruise was sold out, I did not feel way overcrowded. We were a group of 30 and already began planning the NextCruise on the Harmony as several of us booked onboard. Can't wait.
