Creator's Key Takeaways

The food on board Harmony of the Seas in the main dining room and the buffet and specialty restaurants was hands down one of the best experiences we had had on a cruise ship.

We were on the February 8th, 2026 selling from Galveastston, Texas. It was a seven night selling, so we had plenty of time to discover the ship.

Our final score for this cruise was a nine out of 10. We enjoyed it very very much and we were blown away because the ship is headed to dry dock next month.

The pool deck was busy on Cdays and there's some people who will ask this question. Was the pool deck busy? You better believe it was busy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book your shows in advance to guarantee entry at your preferred time.
Choose a cabin on deck 8 for quick access to Central Park.
Use the Wind Jammer Buffet for efficient breakfast service.
