Review summary

Had a wonderful time. 7 days might be a bit too long for me, but I may need to do it again to be sure! 🙂

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Smooth. No issues, we got the earliest check in possible.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We did 5 specialty dinings. All good. Windjammer and MDR good as well.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

So much to do, have a plan because you won't do it all.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Grease was good. The Columbus show was a bit disappointing. Aquatheater show was impressive!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was nice overall. Wish the table on the balcony was larger.

Ship tip

Have some sort of plan each day. The ship has so much going on you could suffer from paralysis by analysis if you don't have one.

Disembarkation

Very easy. We were on deck 6 so not much distance to cover to get to the gangway.

Clarifying my table comment with a question: Are there no full-size tables in oceanview balcony rooms on the Oasis class ships? I notice they have them on the boardwalk and central park view rooms.

Excellent review. The Utopia of the Seas comes out next year and will be doing 3-4 day sailings if that's more your style.

Thanks. We like longer cruises….preferably 14 days minimum…so we book lots of back-to-back cruses.

Thanks for the review! Harmony is my favorite of the RCL ships, which is surprising since I'm usually a small ships kind of cruiser.
