Review summary

We loved it! Just about everything was great! Food not as good as expected, tho! Harmony is a beautiful ship!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Excellent---just walked thru and paused to get picture taken. That was it! Simple!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Was somewhat disappointed in MDR new menu and Windjammer. Not as good as they were 5 years ago before Covid. They need to tweek the choices to something more universally appealing.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Did all the shows which were awesome. Little disappointed in the Adult Comedy---so stall. The game shows were hilarious and the trivia was great. Also did a Bar Crawl with a group from FB so that was fun and got to meet some new peeps. Enjoyed the parade and the extra dance parties, etc. Plenty to do or not.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Awesome! Saw 2 water shows which were outstanding. The musicals and ice shows are Broadway productions and it shows that they put a lot of work into them. The Latin music in Boleros' seemed a little too canned even tho they were live. We usually enjoy that kind of music and will go back again and again but only sat thru a couple sets and we had enough. Didn't get to hear all the music bands we wanted to as we were too busy.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone on the ship was exceptional! Our steward, Ankos (not how you spell it I'm sure) was wonderful! All the waiters and staff in MDR were very attentive. Wish we had the same ones each time tho. Next time will do Early Dining instead of My Time.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I do miss the access to the outside other than Decks 15/16/17. Sure it was there somewhere but not readily apparent as like to go outside on deck to see water at night or just to see what the weather is like without having to go all the way to the top of the ship. Other than that--it was absolutely amazing. This is my first big ship to be on.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It faced the front of the ship. This is my first Oceanview cabin and it was larger than expected. It was pretty noisy when they got into the port or left the port. That usually woke us up. But the cabin was very nice and really liked the bathroom setup.

Ship tip

Get your shows booked ASAP---they allow that on the app BEFORE you sail so watch for it!

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5

Falmouth, Jamaica

3 out of 5
Unless you had an excursion here---just the usual shops and nothing much to see.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

3 out of 5
Once you have seen it---there is no reason to get off ship unless you have an excursion. It's nice but not much to do or see if you've been there once.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Just walked off and showed our face to the camera while still walking---easy peesy! So much better than it used to be.
