Live Review

Real quick our itinerary was Eastern Caribbean (Sea, Sea, Sea, St Maarten, San Juan, Labadee, Sea). We were in Balcony Ocean View Cabin 12274. Loved the cabin and our location. Embarkation and Disembarkation were by far the smoothest and quickest we have ever seen. We had early Dinning 5:30. So here we go.

Great idea of a top 5. Really enjoyed your live review also. Getting on HOS next Saturday and will definitely keep these items in mind. We also took the beverage package and think we should definitely break even. One or two quick questions:

Do you remember any hot tubs open at night?

What was bad about windjammer? Was it the choices, crowds, service, something else??

Thanks for the great review!

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! I’m so glad you enjoyed Harmony!

It’s was very crowded but it is buffet style so food was just OK. I would recommend eating the colder stuff. Make a sandwich or Salad bar. It wasn’t terrible but so many better options on the ship

I think the ones on the side of the ships were open. I didn’t go in any hot tubs all week.

Glad to hear they have red velvet cake in chops. The last few ships we went on did not offer red velvet cake in chops. We were so disappointed because it’s amazing.

Funny thing is that we didn’t order it but they gave it to us to celebrate our anniversary.

Thanks so much!

Love your top 5 idea. Agree with you about Kieran Cox. He was great! We enjoyed Chops very much as well but went for lunch. Loved. MDR lunches. Definitely check out Sabor if you return to Harmony!

We were on the same sailing & definitely agree about hot elevators, stairs & some hallways! We sailed Allure twice in the summer & never experienced that. Elevator waits were very long--even longer with my dad's scooter.

Not sure you were clear enough... did you like the Boot and Bonnet?
