Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed review of a seven night eastern caribbean cruise aboard the Harmony of the Seas in May 2022. The review is organized into hits and misses. Positive aspects include the high quality of the crew, the cruise director, the modern stateroom, and the food in the main dining room. The creator also highlights the 90s and 70s themed parties, the drink menus at the various bars, and the bottled water package. Negative experiences include a disorganized embarkation process at the Port Canaveral terminal and poor wi-fi connectivity. Other misses involve the lack of signage at Starbucks, limited tram service at Perfect Day at CocoCay, and underwhelming food at Mini Bites. The creator also notes issues with room service availability, the layout of Cafe Promenade, and bottlenecks at the Windjammer buffet. Staffing shortages were cited as a recurring theme affecting the Windjammer, photography services, and the Solarium Bistro. Ultimately, the creator rates the cruise a 7 out of 10, suggesting that the ship may have increased capacity too quickly.

Creator's Key Takeaways

the crew were amazing we did learn from a headwaiter one morning at breakfast that royal caribbean and the cruise industry at large are dealing with some staffing issues

the process to enter the terminal one building at port canaveral was a complete mess we spent almost two hours in the heat in the garage in the most ridiculous line

the wi-fi was horrible the most basic things take so much time i could probably run down to cafe promenade for coffee while waiting for google or facebook to open

we had a very nice cruise overall but i would only give it a 7 out of 10

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“suggest royal caribbean move to starlink for better wifi
βœ“avoid the windjammer for breakfast due to bottlenecks and food quality issues
