Harmony of the Seas is the third addition to Royal Caribbean's impressive Oasis class family of ships and one of the largest ships currently afloat. Onboard, the range of activities and entertainment available make the ship feel like a floating amusement park. From the tallest slide at sea to a bar tended by robots, the ship offers a thrilling blend of unique entertainment and thrill-a-minute activities that will ensure there's never a dull moment - unless you want one! Younger cruisers can jump right into the fun in the Youth Zone, the world's largest kids' area at sea.
The ship features seven distinct "neighborhoods," each with a unique combination of activities and dining options. Central Park offers a serene green space with real trees and plants as well as Jaime's Italian, a world-class restaurant by Jaime Oliver; the Boardwalk features a carousel and climbing wall, and the Promenade is where guests will find the Bionic Bar and tons of shopping options. Cruisers in search of live music, a game of chance in the casino, a stand-up set, or even a full Broadway-style production will want to head for Entertainment Place where they'll find the Royal Theater, Casino Royale, Studio B, and more.
Harmony of the Seas receives high praise for its impressive ship design, wide range of activities, and exceptional service from staff. Most guests enjoyed the food, entertainment, and family-friendly atmosphere. However, some reviews mention issues with overcrowding, elevator wait times, inconsistent food quality in the main dining room, and extra charges for certain amenities. Specialty services and excursions received mixed feedback, with some guests disappointed by additional fees and underwhelming experiences. Overall, the cruise is highly recommended for families and those seeking a lively, activity-filled vacation, though some may find the crowds and costs challenging.
Service is consistently highlighted as outstanding, with staff described as friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Many guests felt well taken care of, though a few noted occasional lapses in communication or attentiveness.
