Review summary

This was our first time on the Harmony of the Seas but we have another trip on it in April. The ship was large but easy to get around. We loved sitting in the Centrsl Park and watching children hunt for hidden toy ducks. We loved riding the Rising Tide Bar and the views from our balcony and the views from rear of the ship. We LOVED the benefits of eating at the Coastal Kitchen every meal and the free drinks daily due to being in a suite. All the crew were awesome and helpful if you looked lost on getting around the ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy embarkation after checking in on the Royal App 30 days before the cruise. Remember to watch the Safety briefing the morning before boarding. We dropped off our car and dropped off luggage and walked on board in 15 minutes. We ate our lunch in Jamoes restaurant.

Food and Dining

Coastal Kitchen

5 out of 5

Benefit of being in a suite was that we ate breakfast, lunch, and supper in Coastal kitchen. The Matra D Ganash and assistance Jagdish and waiters Serviano and Joe made sure to check that my items were LACTOSE FREE. The service at the Coastal Kitchen was great with quick service and the same waiters at every meal. If a food item was not safe they made suggestions and the chef made a lactose free version for me.

We ate lunch on embarkation day. It was a very delicious meal. The waiters took care of me and checked all items if safe with my lactose free diet.

Chops Grille

On day 4 I took my spouse to Chops for lunch . The service and meal was delicious.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We watched the water show at the back of deck 8 and two musicals that were great. Grease was awesome with the stage performance singing songs from Grease. The musical Columbus was funny and presented a twist on the story about Marvin Columbus.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Music on deck 6 was beautiful with many of my favorite songs sung by performing stars. The DJs kept the crowd dancing on deck 6 several times a day.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Cabin steward Michael took great care of us and our cabin. Michael found me a firm pillow on day 1 and made sure to put a pillow top on our bed. The room was kept neat and clean daily.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Harmony of the Seas was clean and well maintained by the staff. The bathrooms on all the floors were cleaned several times a day. Our bathroom was cleaned twice a day by our cabin steward. Michael noticed our drain was slow draining so he had maintenance fix the drain quickly.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room 7660 was a suite very roomy with a couch and chairs on the left and a bedrrom on the right. The room had a wall with a TV on both sides of the wall in between the lounge and the bedroom. Bathroom was roomy with two sinks, toilet, and tub with handrails. The tub was easy to step in with hand rails for safety.

Ship tip

The Harmony of the Seas is big but the staff on the ship are eager to help you find your way around. The most we waited for an elevator was 15 minutes. We would walk up one floor or walk down two floors when possible. Take your time and schedule time for waiting on elevators at supper at night.

Ports of call

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was very easy. We sent our suitcases down the night before then we ate breakfast in the Coastal Kitchen the morning of debarkation. After breakfast we were escorted down by the Concierges from the Suite Lounge and got our luggage. Then we walked to our car...easy .
