Creator's Key Takeaways

After spending a week aboard Harmony of the Seas, I can tell you this ship gets a lot of things right, though it's not perfect.

The ship operates primarily in the Mediterranean during summer months and the Caribbean during winter, which means you're looking at some seriously good weather and destinations.

The Ultimate Abyss is a 10-story slide that sends you spiraling down the side of the ship at speeds that will make your heart race.

If you prefer intimate, quiet cruising experiences, this isn't your ship. If you want endless options and don't mind sharing space with lots of other people, you'll love it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book balcony rooms for longer cruises for better value.
Arrive in Barcelona a day or two early to explore the city.
Use the ship's neighborhood design to find quieter spaces.
