Review summary

We were a family of 14 from ages 9 months to 68 and everyone truly enjoyed themselves. There is so much to do on the ship and so many places to eat without an extra charge. Our only complaint is that the quality of food, as well as service, was not as good as we have had on other ships, including the Allure of the Seas. Even though the Harmony is a large ship, 5000+ passengers, we did not have long waits for elevators, in the buffet and were able to find chairs by the pools.

Food, especially in main dining room was only average. Not a lot of interesting choices. Same with buffet. Jaime's Italian was very good.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Service in the main dining room lacked attention to detail, WE had to ask for sour cream for baked potatoes. When lobster tails were served we had a difficult time getting the meat out of the shell and had to wait for the melted butter, while the tails got cold.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Beautiful, clean ship, but too often Purell dispensers were empty.

Ship tip

Don't let the size of the ship and the amount of passengers intimidate you!

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
Even though we did see a lot of destruction from the hurricane, our taxi tour of the island was interesting and enjoyable. Shopping was great.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
We walked around downtown, but felt we could have used more time to see the island.

I've heard quite a few bad reviews about the MDR food. Too bad. We go in December. I'm glad the rest was top notch for you.
