Review summary

The Harmony is a beautiful ship! And we found the general staff very helpfull. But the ship really needs a lot of help with crowd  control!!!the Windjammer cafe opens too late, and when it does they only open one side! Which creates a very long wait to get in. We did have a soft drink package but the fountains were out of order most of the cruise .

And my time dining still created a long wait into dining rooms so it became very frustrating to eat or get a drink!

So going to guest services to complain was the only way to get dining room seating worked out. And we were credited for the drink package. Once that problem was solved the dining room staff was wonderul! I will say the tours were very well organised, and we enjoyed them but coming back to the ship to now deal with the mob scene every night made it unfortunate! We've traveled with Royal Caribbean many times and will continue to cruise with them . But this ship by far was our least favorite

I also disagree. We came off ship today. This was my first cruise and concidering there were 6000 guest on board i found we were not having to wait around to long. No mobs only time we found eating a problem was after one of the late shows when Food was alway plentiful and always a good choice. Well don Harmony of the Seas and all your wonderful staff

Well I'm very sorry but don't agree with mob I'm just home today n we didn't queue ever at my time dining in main dining rooms which were class n never felt crowded as 6500 passengers were spread all over the ship n we were served hand n foot all week as the waiters say sir ur on vacation so sit back and let us look after u which they did

Maybe it's too big, too many passengers.
