Review summary

Harmony's amenities were excellent when they debuted, but I think there's better ships out there in terms of having more things to do.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Extremely easy in Port Canaveral.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The meals were amazing. I had so many good ones, and very few "meh" ones.

Izumi

4 out of 5

I'm honestly mixed on Izumi. The chefs are immaculate, but the appetizers were just sort of meh. The vegetables included green peppers and celery root, which I wouldn't necessarily have put that in a hibachi. It sort of detracted from the meal. But, the steak, shrimp, scallops and rice was delicious.

Bionic Bar

5 out of 5

If you're under 21, don't even bother. One of the people in my party was looking forward to get a smoothie from the bar, but the digital menu said they were restricted to do so. Unfortunately, the bionic bar appears to just serve alcohol. If you're looking for that, this is a 5 star experience.

Jamie's Italian by Jamie Oliver

5 out of 5

Excellent food! The Arancini and JI burger was excellent.

Boardwalk Dog House

4 out of 5

Pretty good. The hot dogs were fresh and delicious.

Mini Bites

5 out of 5

Absolutely delicious food. Get the meatballs, you won't regret it.

Chops Grille

5 out of 5

Loved the meals here! I had the crab cake and ribeye both times, which they did not disappoint! The deserts were also delicious.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I did the water slides and ultimate abyss, both were great.

Casino Royale

5 out of 5

The staff were incredibly friendly.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Alok at the Schooner Bar was amazing.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I was staying in a crown loft suite. It was absolutely perfect. The size was ginormous, being two stories. The cleanliness was also great thanks to our cabin attendants.

Ship tip

If you're in the 18-20 crowd, while the 18-20 meetup hasn't come back yet, you can meet lots of new folks at the bars.

Ports of call

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

1 out of 5
Walking out of the port, it smelled like dead fish. I immediately walked back on board to be honest.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Absolutely amazing island visit. We stayed in a cocobeach club Cabana right on the water.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy.
