Had a really fantastic cruise, all new ports but with the enjoyment of having been on Harmony a year and a half ago so didn't spend nearly as much time trying to get our bearings! We were lucky with the weather.

Wonderland
5 out of 5
Enjoyed the ambiance and experience. The food was really tasty and the presentation was fabulous. They were conscientious of my nut allergy. Didn't love the mushroom risotto thing but everything else we tried was great.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Went down the Ultimate Abyss a bunch of times. Spent time every day at the pool and the waterslides. Love the carousel. I even did the zip line!
Didn't do the rock walls this trip or flowrider.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Enjoyed all the music we sought out and stumbled upon and we saw all the shows we could. Thought the leads in both Grease and Columbus were really great.
Children's Programs
4 out of 5
There's so many other things to do on Harmony that our kiddo didn't spend a lot of time in the kid's club.

We really love this ship. Everything looked great.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Had a nice balcony and the cabins are comfortable for 3.
Did an island tour with a local guide and a van full of ladies from another ship ($25 ea). It was good, enjoyed getting an overview of the island. Made a few stops but not everywhere as it was briefly pouring rain in Marigot and Maho Beach was so packed we all agreed to keep going.
Spent the rest of the afternoon at Grand Bay Beach in Phillipsburg, had some lunch at a hamburger restaurant (good food), $20 for 2 chairs and an umbrella and enjoyed beach, waves and beers.
Easy walk back to the ship.
Had such an amazing, relaxing day under the palm trees and in the water, enjoying the music and scenery. The food was decent and it was really nice being able to simply use the sea pass card.
There were so many different areas to spend time that we didn't end up taking advantage of really because our spot was so lovely.
The vendor market was a bit intimating so if it's not your thing to have the coaxing and cajoling and doing the negotiating thing, it's really easy to avoid the area.
We did the Kennedy Space Center VIP excursion with airport drop off. It was really great except you could easily spend a full day at KSC and we had to do it at a pretty rapid pace. We got a great overview and all the highlights were seen/done but if we're back again we will definitely do it at our pace.
It was really hot! And a short day. We didn't spend as much time around Old San Juan as intended due to not feeling great but got a great first impression and really want to go back. Did walk along the water to Castillo San Felipe del Morro and around inside for a bit. Didn't see it all but highly recommend checking it out.
It was great!
Cruiser 911 - I can't seem to answer directly so hopefully you see this; we just walked over to the taxi/island tour stand at the outside of the square at the port. They ask how many people and how much of a tour you want, then try to fill the van as much as possible which brings the price down.
