Just off the Harmony

[Pizzaman2033]

We just arrived home from the Harmony and I will say you have to really try to have a bad time on a cruise. I have been on the Allure before so there wasn't much difference. All 8 of us had a great time with a few minor complaints:

 

1. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed at sea.

2. When you have a port day in St Kitts and everyone gets back on the ship at 3:30 please leave the Windjammer open or at least half. Everyone came back on the ship starving and the food options were limited. I understand they have to turn it over for dinner but turn over half and leave the other half open.

3. I guess the signs in the Solarium that said no children didn't pertain to everyone or people can't read!

4. Please make an edible hamburger that I don't have to pay extra for.

 

Other than that it was a wonderful week and the staff was extremely nice.

Its too bad they don't have a place like Mast Grill on Celebrity, great burgers and dogs by the pool and they're free!

I thought so too until I asked for a mattress pad on the second night. I was fine after.

It is a pad or an "egg crate"?

Thanks for the posting and a reminder to request a mattress topper for my upcoming cruise. Royal beds use to be some of th best around, but since around 2015, the new beds they are buying are made of cement.

I think the beds and hamburgers may be made of the same material.

LOL!!! Which is more edible??? :D

[siriuscruiser]

Do you have the compasses?

[NolaFireLI]

100% Agree about the bed and the lack of food options coming back in from both St. Thomas & St. Kitts - if you wanted pizza the line was 20 minutes deep, Wipe Out Cafe - CLOSED, Windjammer on change-over... so I know we ended up at the Hot Dog stand after St. Thomas!

That bed was a lacking comfort and I felt like sleeping on the couch might have been a better option.

Overall I know my party of 6 had the vacation to remember!! Can't see how anyone would have a bad time!!!

I'm not surprised Wipe Out Cafe was closed on Harmony... ;)

Agree, lack of a decent burger is mystifying. They should learn from Carnival

They have a decent burger at Johnny Rockets.

They have a decent burger at Johnny Rockets.

 

 

OP doesn't want to pay extra for it.

I don't want to pay for anything, either. But that's often not an option.

[LoveToTravel74]

Is the Johnny Rockets burger the same quality as on land?

[JaniceB]

Thanks for sharing your experience.

4. Please make an edible hamburger that I don't have to pay extra for.

 

If you happen to be in a Central Park Balcony cabin you most likely have the perk of one free lunch at Jamie's. The burger I had a Jamie's this past May was one of the best burgers I've ever had -- land or sea.

Actually Mini Bites was open but the line was back to the pool. I was not waiting on that line to get a hamburger that you could play hockey with.

If the line was all the way to the pool, it seems like they are doing something right...

Yet to have one on RCI... even when I paid for it. :o

I'm a bit shocked to learn that there isn't food available on St. Kitts

For us, it was better on the ship.

I was on the same cruise along with other 15 people (family and friends of family). I did post a separate review yesterday, just wanted to add that RCL needs to do something on those large ships so it will not feel so crowded. Agree about solarium. Instead of all these jacuzzi tubs, there should be more pools, especially adult pool. All food venues feel crowded. Hate the lines. And of course, there are never enough elevators. Otherwise, we had a great time and the ship overall is beautiful. We didn't have a mattress problem like the OP.

Do you have the cruise compasses from this sailing? If so will you post? Going to be on this same itinerary in November would love to see the compasses :D:D

I have been on Harmony and Oasis. For the most part, crowds have not been an issue with us. I have read many time here and on Facebook that people are surprised at how uncrowded the ships feels
