Busy, crowded, expensive, but still had fun. Try the Carnival Jubilee first before this one.

Review summary

Our cruise was just ok. The ship was over crowded and had long lines everywhere. Sometimes the pools were over capacity and we could not swim. Many things were broken or had technical difficulties including a ice skating show and diving show. The bars were over priced and our toilet flushed itself many times and flooded our cabin and the cruise line did not seem to care. Some of our items were ruined by the septic water and guest services said file a claim with your home insurance. Overall we wish we choose the Carnival Jubilee also out of Galveston.

Other cruise lines have better free food. The drinks were pricy and the specialty restaurants were good but expensive.

Busy Busy too many ships in port and everything is over priced now. Tip, go right out of the port to the 7-11 and you can buy a beer for .59 cents or cheap hats magnets..ect also.

We loved Harmony! Such a beautiful ship. The shows were canceled the whole cruise? They usually try to make up those shows at other times. The toilet issue would be annoying. Summer is a very busy cruise time, that's why we avoid it! I hope you will give Harmony another try.

Harmony is a beautiful ship. Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your cruise.ost cruise lines, if not all are busy during the summer. Toilets can flood anywhere, even at home. Hopefully you had some good memories.

WOW! That sucks! We’ve avoided the mega ships because of the crowd issues, but toilet problems could happen on any ship and on any cruise line. Sorry you were disappointed.
