Review summary

We love the Harmony of the Seas! This was another wonderful week onboard. The crew are all great & really do want to make your experience wonderful. If you ever have the chance to try Star Class I highly recommend it! Worth every penny! IMHO Go in with the right attitude & have fun! Everyone's idea of a good time is different. This ship can meet anyone's expectations. (Unless you just don't want it to) You can do as much or as little as you want. It is a very large ship so know that going in. If walking is an issue a smaller ship might be a better choice. I've cruised on many sizes of ships & I feel the crowd less on this size. Just avoid the Windjammer & elevators during peak times! Don't go to the WJ at high noon & complain about the crowd.;)

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

We only ate at specialty restaurants the entire week & I can not say enough good things about experience.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We did most activities onboard. The fellas did a private Flow Rider session with instructors & it was GREAT! We did all the slides & even the Escape Room. Escape the Rubicon was not easy but super fun!! We escaped with 2min 20sec left. We were one of 3 groups to escape that week. Give it a try!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The entertainment on Oasis Class ships really is second to none!

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We found the staff to be absolutely wonderful! Every bartender to wait staff were great! Big shout out to Putu our cabin steward! He is awesome! Also Sebastian our Genie! He is pure magic! If your budget allows Star Class is worth every penny!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Harmony still looks like she did on her maiden voyage! They do a great job keeping her clean & well maintained!

Cabin / Stateroom

2bdr ATS. Awesome size, great balcony & The perks make the price worth every penny!

Ship tip

Make sure you make reservations ahead! Enjoy all the ship has to offer & go in with the right attitude! If you want to have fun you will! If you go in trying to find every little thing you don't like, you can do that as well. I just don't understand people who travel with the expectation of failure & bad time! Vacation is what you choose to make it! Relax & have fun!!

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Easy port but, only ate & watched the ships leave port pre-cruise.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Beautiful island but due to wind didn't stay long.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5
Didn't do an excursion & Thought the port was crowded.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
Fellas did a zip lining excursion & really liked it. The port is small & not a lot to do. Hopefully the expansion will help.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Had a private driver. Snorkeled, shopped & ate. Love this island! The people are wonderful!

Disembarkation

We were just in the Anthem and for us we decided the smaller ship is a little better. My husband has a hard time walking long distances.
