Review summary

All in all I enjoyed myself because I was with family but I prefer Carnival Cruise lines better. Once I'm retired I may do Royal Caribbean again.

Glad you had a good cruise. Thanks for the great review.

Try booking a cruise on one of the smaller ships. You would probably enjoy that more. Maybe one with 3,200 passengers. Won't have to reserve the shows.

Yea i agree carnival is the way to go As far as harmony it's to big with way to many people in my opinion We went with several other people and they all agreed. We prebooked every show before we got on the boat so we where guaranteed a spot for each show

Yes, unfortunately, you do have to book reservations for all the shows in advance. I was told that even if you do not book the reservation, you could line up a bit earlier and get in anyway.
