Review summary

This was our honeymoon cruise and it was awesome! The ship was incredible and there was always something fun to do when onboard. The shows were fantastic, the food was always good, and the service from everyone onboard the Harmony was wonderful. Book your excursions before you go if you can as some of the good ones fill up quick and of course you end up paying a bit more on the ship. The best ones for us were riding ATVs at the foot of a volcano in St. Kitts and spending a few hours at Magens Bay in St. Thomas! Also, if you plan on taking a bunch of pictures on the ship, especially on formal night's, buy your photo package early for the discount and then take as many pictures as you can since one of them gives you unlimited pictures for one price. This way you can get pictures everyday with some fun backdrops and ship locations and know you won't have to pick and choose. Lastly, make sure you reserve a spot at the shows and get there about 15 minutes early for the best seats. Don't miss Grease, The Fine Line, Columbus, 1887, and the the comedy shows! We had such a good time we're ready to plan our next destination!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food and service in the main dining rooms was always great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

If you plan your day out there is always something fun happening somewhere on the ship. Make sure you make time to try out some surfing, zip lining, and try all the slides. They are not as scary as they look.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

There was not a bad show onboard! They were all amazing and some you want to watch twice!

Children's Programs

No kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our housekeeping manager Stevie made our honeymoon special and our waitress Elizabeth and her team made us feel special at every dinner!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

As the newest and largest ship in the world, it was kept in excellent condition at all times. We can't wait to go back on this ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had a large interior cabin that was perfect for the 2 of us. It had a little more storage space, a small couch to relax on, a mini-fridge for drinks, and a nice HDTV on the wall.

Ship tip

If you plan on getting your pictures taken, buy your photo package early for the discount and then take as many pictures as you can since one of them gives you unlimited pictures for one price. This way you can get pictures everyday with some fun backdrops and nice locations on the ship.

We purchased a day pass to the Atlantis Resort ahead of time and saved about $60 during low season. It was a Priceline link we got a few weeks before the trip.

We chose Magens Bay to spend the afternoon at. There is one main restaurant/bar and the beach lounge chairs have to be rented if you want to use one but they were only $8 for the day. Take a few water bottles with you if you can since water is $3 a bottle. Take goggles if you have them and you'll see a lot of fish.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

We rode ATVs up the foot of a volcano and then spent the rest of the afternoon at a beach. The ATVs were awesome and the beach was nice, but again you have to rent the lounge chairs and umbrella. Wasn't too bad for $10 for 2 but you need to have cash. Don't forget your goggles!
