Review summary

Nice, relaxing time. Enjoyed it, but better experience on Oasis and Allure. Probably would not book Harmony again due to price unless the route is something different. Overall, kind of a blase feeling from staff.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very fast, very efficient. Lots of staff to help.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room food was less quality than expected, especially for someone with gluten allergy. Overall, was ok, but have had better on other RCCL ships. Drinks were good, although price has gone up. $26 for two pins coladas at the pool is a bit much.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Did water slide and used the pool and fitness center. All were good. Fitness center needs to have staff available in the gym to assist with equipment and answer questions pertaining to using it.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Excellent. However, Did not attend comedy show. Was rated ages 18+. Did not want to have to leave if it was off color. Why not G rating unless after 10pm? Then you know what you're going to get.

Children's Programs

No children with us.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Excellent storeroom attendant, ladies room attendant and Schooner Bar waiter. Main dining room waiter and asset ok, Boloros bartender from Jamaica not friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very well kept and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Tons of storage, larger than normal junior suites due to location. Nice balcony.

Ship tip

Nice ship, but expect higher end stores and merchandise than Oasis and Allure.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

Arrival and departure only.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

3 out of 5
Did the RCCL Maho beach excursion. Miserable. Absolutely packed, very little space at bar/restaurant. Food and drink expensive, not worth it. Bathrooms ABSOLUTELY DEPLORABLE!!! Never again. Rest of island still recovering from hurricane 18 months ago. Shop at the pier. It's cleaner and just as many choices as in town.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Did a walking tour with Julia, booked thru cruises.com. Wonderful!! She was a sweet young lady that gave us tons of history, legend and local flavor. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time with her! So glad I booked this.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
Nice beach, fun zip line. Did not participate in lunch buffet. Not much to offer gluten free, plus don't care to walk to other end of island for it. Too hot for that. Beverage carts did not come around as often as before.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast, efficient.
