Review summary

This was the best cruise I've had and the The Harmony of the Seas is definitely a ship to go on. It was absolutely beautiful - with lots of things to do on the ship. The food in the windjammer was great every night. We ate at two specialty restaurants Chops and Sabor which both were excellent choices. The food was spectacular and the wait staff were pleasant and gave great customer service.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The stateroom attendant that was assigned to our room was very nice, she was attentive to our needs and provided the best customer service to us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship's layout and design was spectacular. The common areas were clean and well-maintained. The staff on the ship kept the ship clean and was always wiping down the ships. This ship was an excellent choice to cruise on and I plan to go on The Harmony of the Seas again in the future or visit the next newest ship Symphony of the Seas coming in 2018.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We stayed in a balcony cabin which was very roomy considering most balcony the cabins don't give you a lot of room to move especially with a couch in there but this room was very roomy. It also had lots of drawers to store your clothing and the closet spaces were pretty large.

Ship tip

The one piece of advice would be to carry plenty of money when you sail on Harmony of the Seas because they are pushing drinks very heavy on the ship especially if you are a drinker as well as there were plenty of staff members setting up port on the ship to take pictures.

Disembarkation

Our disembarkation experience was excellent. Once we got thru customs and off the ship it was a breeze. Going through customs this time around was excellent - did not take a lot of time this go around which I loved.
