I returned from my cruise on Harmony of the Seas, on April 24th. My 12th cruise overall with Royal, but my first with them since 2019. First off, Harmony is a gorgeous ship. Huge, but wonderful. Went to Welcome aboard show 1st night. They still have an actual live orchestra playing. First thing out of my mouth, was wow, I'm impressed. Before that tho, at dinner in Dining Room, they still use tablecloths, all the silver, and crystal. Wow, they still serve actual "Real Butter" with the delicious fresh bread. I was impressed, really. Our waiter , Barton, and his assistant, Hans, were excellent. Very attentive, all week. All of this may seem like small stuff, but cruising another line, where they have discontinued, or changed every one of these things, makes a huge difference. At least to me. They still manage to make their passengers feel special. They put the other cruiseline, that I've cruised a lot on, to shame. I intend to become more Loyal to Royal, for sure. Embarking was fairly quick and easy, and debarking was a breeze. They have that down to a science, even with that huge a ship, and over 5000 passengers. I hated to see the cruise end, and will certainly be back.
