Harmony of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

First time on the Hermony of the seas, definetly a beautiful ship with lots of enterntainment and great atmosphere, our family of 5 all adults had a blast sailing into the new year aboard.

It was a great cruise that I had lots of fun. I can’t wait to go again. Love the ship.

RCCL could use some work. No more turn down service- compasses are now online unless you ask- food has lost its quality in the Main Dining Room and drink prices have become ridiculous.

The holiday cruise was awesome, highly recommend chop grill and the chefs table.

Overall the cruising experience is on par with what I expected and based on previous cruises. However, this itinerary is very strange and I felt the ship was rushed to complete the itinerary. The ship sailed at 22 knots for 7 days with ship in continuous rocking and weaving motion; no sea day was slow and relaxing due to it. The itinerary was Galveston, Roatan, Cozumel, Costa Maya, Galveston. If you look on a map, you will see that Costa May is in between Cozumel and Roatan; most cruises will finish with Cozumel LAST before ending at Galveston. But this trip is first headed south to Roatan, rushed north to Cozumel, rushed south to Costa Maya (we only a HALF DAY there instead of a full day; depart at 1 pm), rushed north to Galveston. Why was this crazy itinerary chosen? It made no sense in term travel nor in fuel consumption.

Will definitely do this cruise again. Had a great time on the ship during sea days.

This is not the brand I've cruised on in the past they have downgraded the ran to compete with Carnival

We wanted to make meaningful memories and this cruise provided them!

It’s up to each individual to make the best of a situation, I did what I could but still won’t sail on any of the ships with 5,000 or more guest. The bigger ships just have more cabins.

Our first experience on one of Royal Caribbean's large ships was not as good as this experience. We did not encounter the same issues we faced on our first large ship. This cruise was wonderful!

Overall, the trip was a success. I did have problems reaching out to my agent prior to sailing. I had to solve my problems on my own. But, it all worked out in the end.

Ship was very well laid out and did not feel crowded like I thought a big ship would. Entertainment was top notch! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

We loved this cruise so much that while on board, we booked to go on it again in a few months. Literally same boat and same itinerary!

Had a wonderful experience with this cruise. Smooth sailing throughout my trip with clean facilities and attentative crew members. The shows on board were incredible, especially the Fine Line Aquashow and all the live music offered. The destinations we stopped at offered a lot to do and see. I'm very satisfied with my stay and would definitely book with Royal Caribbeans again!

Cruise was enjoyable, wish the main dining room menu selection was better. Food quality was outstanding.

Big ship with lots to do on board, good stops. The food was disappointing.

Quick cruise to Cozumel with extended family. We had a large group of 4 couples. The ship was incredible. The staff friendly. The amenities unparalleled. I want to take a 7+ night cruise on Harmony of the Seas.

Not everything is covered on the ship. Got lost ship is big and forgot card in room multiple times( need it for electric in room).Great staff and was nice getting away.

I was unsure of what to expect with this being our first cruise, however, my 13-year-old daughter and I are now hooked for life on cruises especially if they are anything like this one! We had a blast and cannot wait to go again! We stayed in cabin 9522 which was in the front of the ship and we felt the movement of the ship throughout the cruise whether we were in our room, walking through the ship, sitting at the pool or at dinner. It was not anymore than the feeling you get in an elevator though. The room was plenty spacious for my daughter and I. It was clean and cozy. Our room attendant was so sweet and did amazing work while we were out and about. We did not get the food or drink packages (although my sister did end up purchasing the beverage package for my daughter) and we did just fine. I enjoyed iced tea, lemonade, fruit punch, coffee and water for free throughout the day. I also purchased at least 1 if not 2 alcoholic be a day and still didn't reach the amount it would have been for the package. I traveled with 15 other family members and even though we did the my time dining after having an awesome experience the first night in the main dining room with our head waiter Raj and Assistant Head Waiter Chadrick, we decided to book those tables for the rest of the week at 745. Dinner was amazing 3 course meals with the option to get multiple items for each course. The steaks could have been less chewy and grisly but all of the other items were amazing!!! We stopped at St. Martin/St. Maarten and did the beach and shopping. I wish that we had researched which beach to go because if you ask the taxi driver like we did, they will take you to the closest beach which in this case was Great Bay Beach and it was not the best beach due to all of the debris and trash on the beach. They do this because they want to get back to the taxi station in order to fill up passengers again. Be sure to take cash with you for taxi. It was $5 per person one way in St. Martin but in St. Thomas it was $15 per person one way!!!! In St. Thomas we booked excursions through Coral World Ocean Park including the sea lion swim and the seatrek underwater adventure. Both of these were phenomenal experiences!!!! My only advice here is to make sure you give yourself 45 minutes to an hour to get from the ship to Coral world by taxi and 45 minutes to an hour to get back to the ship afterwards. If you miss your scheduled time for your activity, they will charge you a $50 rebooking fee. Also it is advisable to have them arrange for a taxi when you book your Excursion. Also make sure you allow yourself time to look at photos in the gift shop if you are interested in buying those. They will not allow you to take phones or underwater cameras to either of the adventures. We ran out of time to look at them and had to call back which resulted in having to buy all photos taken during our adventures for a total of $175. As for CocoCay, I really don't have a lot to review for this because we were at chill Island for maybe 2 hours which was really nice, but then a big rainstorm came and there were literally no places to go for shelter other than the bathrooms. The area at chill Grill only barely covered the food, but there were no covered areas for eating your food therefore everything was soaked and completely inedible. We just ended up going back to the ship. I cannot say enough about Wind Jammer and Raj the head waiter in the main dining room. They work for 8 months straight with no time off and still somehow manage to keep their energy up and smiles on their faces. Be sure to tip them extra at the end of your cruise! Also be prepared to buy photos because they are a fantastic opportunity for family photos and are extremely professional!

We had a great time on this cruise and would highly recommend this itinerary
