Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The staff on the Armonia are great. They tried to give the passengers a wonderful onboard experience. Our cabin steward, nightly servers and Alexandra, the excursion specialist, worked very hard and were wonderful to us.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
We liked the size of the Armonia, about 2000 customers plus staff. Our balcony cabin was very nice. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the ocean and port arrivals. We were on the 10th floor and used the back set of stairs to get to the 11th floor restaurants.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We enjoyed this cabin. The size and comfort was good. Our cabin steward did a great job.
Ship tip
The majority of the passengers on this ship were European. We met Americans who did not like the announcements in 5 languages. We enjoyed the European influence.
The Jamaica port was interesting. We would like to go back there.
We did the Konoko Falls and Martha Steward lunch. We had a great time and met wonderful people.
George Town is a very modern city that was updated after hurricane damage. It reminded me of a Florida city. We did the Best of George Town tours. It was mostly stopping at gift shops, The tour of the turtle rescue and sanctuary was the highlight,
The line never moved becuase other passengers cut in line. I found this to be consistant with my travels to Europe. As a British friend said "Some people never leant to form a proper queue."
Thank you for your review, bad reviews of other make me more curious what to expect, but ypur review makes me happy that no matter what enjoy to tha most what we spent on makes from it a great vacay
Thank you for your review. I'm going on the Armonia in May for my 50th birthday -- first cruise EVER --#bucketlist.
Like the other traveler mentioned, some negative reviews had me feeling anxious. I appreciate that you emphasized that there are people from other countries enjoying this cruise line as well. It seems that the people that enjoy their cruises are able to do so because they keep an open mind.
I'm so glad you enjoyed your experience!
Glad you enjoyed it. A few others from the same sailing said it was horrible, terrible food, service, etc. and they would never go with MSC again. It’s amazing how people can experience the same thing so differently. I guess it has to do with realistic expectations and the attitude of the reviewer.
