Review summary

Had a great cruise on board the Harmony. The Harmony is gorgeous. Well maintained and very clean. I’m always in awe of how hard the staff works. This was our 4th cruise and we found some small items that were annoying. First, I don’t know what the designers were thinking when they designed the Windjammer. We had 6,500 people on board the week we sailed. The Windjammer is way too small to accommodate that many passengers. Find other places to eat or you will spend your vacation standing in line to wash your hands - yes everyone has to go through a hand washing station before entering the Windjammer. Starting the 3rd morning we found other places to eat breakfast and lunch. Our vacation dramatically improved after that. If you plan to ride the slides, be aware that there are lots of silly rules surrounding those activities. For example, no watches or jewelry allowed on the water slides. Shirts must have sleeves to ride the Abyss - dry slide. We would definitely do another Royal Caribbean cruise. The evening entertainment was excellent. Dinner at the main restaurant was also excellent. We enjoyed a couple meals at the specialty restaurants and would highly recommend Chops, the steak house. The internet service has improved dramatically since the last time we used it. You log in once, and are automatically reconnected to the WiFi every time you return to the ship. We stayed in a junior suite and that was great! Lots of room for 2 adults and 2 teens.

Ship tip

Windjammer is too small for the size of this ship. Find alternative places to eat or you will spend a lot of time standing in line trying to get into the Windjammer.

Good review, but those silly rules prevent damage to the water slide & the riders flesh in the Abyss. Millions in hardware & severe "road rash" don't seem silly too me!

I agree with you about the Windjammer....it was hard sometimes finding a place at lunch time...I didn't have a hard time for breakfast....but I like everyone washing their hands....I don't like being sick...and silly rules may not be silly if they save someone from an injury...I'm glad you had fun ...we did when we went
