Summary Review Harmony of the Seas, Jan 7 to Jan 14

The ship if beautiful!   Lots of attention to crowd flow so movement thru out the ship was at a comfortable pace.   We ate at the Wonderful, Chops, and 150 Central Park.  All 3  provided a very pleasant dining experience.   We ate several nights at Silk (dining deck 3).  The first night we dined way in the rear and enjoyed watching other families enjoy them selves.  The service was great.  Our waiter, Santino,  quickly replaced my cold onion soup and apologized sincerely.  I was a kitchen short coming and not his.

Our other night we dined and  table 715 and enjoyed wonderful service from Marcelo and    Goddag (sp?)  Goddag was exceptionally informative and  very proud to be on the Harmony which was very evident from his inviting attitude  toward all his guests.  Our Cabin Attendant Keith Christmas was great, too!!!

The shows were very good and showered  entertainment on all attending guests. 

The Captain and crew handled the itinerary change seamlessly and thus provided a smooth cruising experience for all.

I am disappointed that Cruise in Review videos were not for sale.   This is a wonderful way to help returning guests explain the cruise experience.   I am sure it is  a profit center and good advertising for RCCL, too.

I was surprised that the specialty restaurants cost had jumped 100% from 2010 cost.  A seeming large step in comparison to other expenses.    The restaurants did stay busy  and  definitely attracted the older crowd, however.

For families with your children, research the ship board activities for them.   This gives  parents time enjoy some time together.  For older children and young adults there are ship board areas and activities specifically for them also. 

My advice is go cruising!   There are many activities both day and night to entertain you.    So, make a budget, try to stay close to it and treat yourself to fun in the sun on the high seas.
