I would purposely book on Harmony of the Seas (or different Odyssey class) for the entertainment. It is a bit more expensive than other ships and I usually look for itineraries rather than what the ship offers but this type of experience is part of a great itinerary.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
We arrived only slightly early and it was good we did since the line was blocks long to check in after dropping off luggage.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We did Park cafe for breakfast and windjammer for lunch and main dining for dinner. Everything was tasty and service impeccable. The only thing that was not edible was the grand marnier souffle for dessert. Love that I can get potato chips and donuts at Park cafe. Sad there were no chocolate chip cookies.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
No way to get bored onboard. Swimming, watching wakeboarders, ice skating show, comedians, DSB Journey tribute band.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Comedians were good and the 1887 ice show spectacular. Also the aquatic show with the divers is not to be missed. Need reservations for all and Grease on the Royal stage was hard to book. Perhaps because I am not a Diamond or above member. Finally Customer service got us seats for Grease.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
How do these folks stay so cheery? Our wait staff Jugunu and Donna were short handed but worked extra hard to do all in a timely manner. Room steward Coneley was so much fun to talk to that I am sure I kept him from his usual business many times.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
We had a balcony cabin on deck 8 where it was just steps to coffee and croissants (chocolate ones were better than in Paris) at Park Cafe. So convenient. All places were spic and span.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Right sized. Good storage. Big shower. Comfy bed. Perfect.
Ship tip
We really liked the cabin location. Easy access to Royal Theatre and Park Cafe and shops and Rising tide bar.
Been to Nassau numerous times so did not disembark here. I see they have demolished the entire terminal area and there is little shade for the long long walk into a gate.
Did not even swim in the ocean because the Oasis pool was nice. A bit cold but actually enough room to swim for exercise. The lunch provided was so tasty. Loved the tacos and brownies and go to the snack shack for the funnel cakes.
We did a shore excursion the bus ride to the Barrett Greenwood Estate. We were supposed to tour some of downtown Falmouth too but did not. So did not see the courthouse or old church or Gregorian architecture homes. So tour was overpriced.
Nice but not as nice as CoCo Cay. No pool. The fun part was walking off the main paths up to what appears to be old forts perhaps from the Colonial era. Lunch brought to the island was again very good.
Those big ladies are nice. Glad you had a good time. (I echo the lack of chocolate chip cookies quite often. Who wants oatmeal? 😉) Thanks for the review.
