Review summary

Advice: Fly to the port at LEAST ONE day before set sail. We learned the hard way with a flight delay of 7 hrs! We missed the ship set sail day. Oh and get travel insurance, We had that, but still had to front all the cash to fly to the first port of call and for hotels/meals then get reimbursed later. Missed 3 nights out of 7. The rest of the trip was playing catch-up and enjoying the other ports of call. Overall it was a fast pace/busy vacation. Love the ship and the shows/entertainment! Highly recommend the Harmony of the sea!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

I give it a 4 star because we embarked the ship at the first port, due to a extremely delayed flight we missed the ship set sail day. It was chaotic/confusing trying to get on the ship. Can't imagine that happens often.

Best stop ever! Absolutely loved it! We will be going back again for sure! The beaches are picture perfect, the temperature was crazy hot and the zip line is a must (at least once in your life)!

I hear if you book flight through RCC, and something like this happens,they will get you to the ship. Is this true???

Wow, that’s a terrible way to start a cruise. We pay the higher airline price to get our seating when we make our reservations so we hopefully won’t get bumped, even tho we fly the day before.
