Creator's Key Takeaways

Embarcation was so easy. If you're cruising with Royal Caribbean from Galveastston, Texas, you're in for a treat.

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.

Entertainment on board Harmony of the Seas. Royal Caribbean in general does a great job with entertainment. I think they're superior.

Our final score for this cruise was a nine out of 10. We enjoyed it very very much and we were blown away.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book your shows in advance to guarantee a spot, but you can also try general admission lines 15 minutes before the show.
Consider a cabin on deck 8 for easy access to Central Park and quick trips outside.
Use the Wind Jammer Buffet for quick and varied breakfast options.
