Georgiafan's Harmony of the Seas Review - April 28th to May 4th

Matt is also training people under him and it was obvious that Nono was a future CD and way to talented to just be hosting bingo. She is now the CD on the Inspiration and several others that week had the personalities to do more. When the shows were over the fun staff for CCL would hang around and talk to the guests for a few minutes and interact while RCL would run out like the place was on fire.

 

I just got off the Inspiration this morning and Nono was AH-MAY-ZING! So funny, engaging, and she was EVERYWHERE.

I would recommend if you are going to do this soon just to skip knowing the details and prepared for a unique dinner.

I am a extremely picker eater so I knew going in that I wouldn't try some of the things they brought out. I still enjoyed it and I would go back just I would pick the food instead of letting the waiter pick out the favorites. I was wrong this chocolate thing was the best desert I had all week. In general I think your paying more for the atmosphere and the presentation then you are the quality of the food. The deserts were amazing and the entries were solid just nothing that blew me away. Its still cool to go and definitely something that I will remember and I am curious to hear from people how its like going the 2nd time.

I believe I was the first person to ever mention nono on this site and I have no doubts she will be a amazing CD. Just like in any business it sounds like it starts from the top and she learned what to do while working underneath Matt on the Vista. Now I just have to wait for her to get a promotion to a bigger and newer ship on the east coast. They are some traits when it comes to being a CD you cant teach you either have them or you don't. Thanks for sharing that makes me feel good.

I'm not sure who made the decision to put raisins in bread its not a good combo. I am not sure when this happened, but no more savory bites (small triangle rolls) for bread. I asked and they said it was discounted bc it was made outside and just reheated. The guy I asked said he would make us some the next night which I didn't end up seeing as I didn't want him to go to the extra trouble. The bread as it was to hard so I wasn't impressed. The butter wasn't in ice like it was on the vista.

Why raisins ?

Lobster was the 2nd formal night which was day 5 and I was glad to see no cut backs for this night. They didn't try to hide the fact that it was lobster night like the Vista did. They as always brought out several of them and this was also the night of baked Alaska the best desert in the MDR.

I noticed you posted a menu picture from the way finder on board. Do they list the daily menus there all week or just the on the day they serve?

Thanks!

The menus are there for the week. Helps to plan for alternatives!

Thanks!

the tv in the room had the menu for the remaining days on the ship it was also out front in the restaurants. Is that what you mean ?

Yes, thank you! Wanted to be able to plan our specialty dining on day 1. It helps to know what days you prefer not to go to the mdr.

The buttons on the elevator don’t really change colors when you press them. They go to a slightly brighter color of blue so you have to hit the button a few times to make sure your floor is pressed.

I got the wow band and I thought it was worth the $5 it wasn't perfect and I still carried my key card around at times. I wish it wasn't a watch look and just a bracelet as mine did fall off a few times.

The cup holders in the main show aren't big enough

I went to all the shows and there was empty seats for all of them and the ship was sold out.

The most passengers I have ever seen from outside the US If I had to guess a % I would say easily over 50.

The most thongs I had ever seen on a cruise I was counting and lost track at like 25. I even saw someone sun bathing topless on the mainpool deck. It worked out good for me, but if your easily offended by that sort of thing might have to find another area.

Not having one main pool was more of a negative then I remember

They did a good job with pool volleyball

The escape game use to be free and now its $20

I loved the cruise as always, but the Carnival Vista wins out due to the food options and lunch that I touched on. Royal wins out with the big shows, but Carnival wins out with smaller shows and the CD.

I’ve let this review drag on longer then I wanted so that’s about all I have. I have a lot of pics of around the ship since I think most people are familiar with ship I wont post them. If anyone has any questions let me know.

My next cruise for now will be on the Carnival HorizonDecember 1st

Thanks for your great review, Georgiafan!

You need to book one in between 467 days is way to long to wait and i'll be sure to think of you the next time I drive past the taste e freeze
