LuCruise Posted March 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Last night I booked us on the Symphony of the Seas. Am waiting next week to see Harmony prices and then will decide between the two. Symphony goes to Roatan, Puerto Costa Maya and Cozumel. Harmony goes to Labadee, Falmouth Jamaica and Cozumel (according to cruise cal). Which of those has nicer beaches and kid friendly? For us a cruise is more about the ship than the ports, but if both end up being close in price, which has better itinerary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Symphony which you've already booked would certainly be our choice between the two. (y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 10, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I think both are equivalent as far as beaches, but I'd rather do Costa Maya and Roatan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuCruise Posted March 10, 2017 Author #4 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Thanks. Realised I actually missed noting Nassau on Symphony (which we went to last year - did blue lagoon which was nice). I should say too that DH and I have been on the Harmony itinerary before but it's different without kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdec Posted March 10, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2017 We love Roatan and Costa maya. So the Symphony would be our pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted December 17, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Mind recommending where to go into those 2 ports? We would go to the Maya Chan resort in Costa Maya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhegium Posted December 19, 2017 #10 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Looks like Maya Chan is booked. Anywhere else you can recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper15 Posted December 19, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I have been recommended Jaime's at the Blue Reef and have booked to go there. It has excellent reviews on trip advisor. You have to book as it is only small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us a cruise is more about the ship than the ports, but if both end up being close in price, which has better itinerary? My choice would be Symphony because of the Falmouth stop. If I was on the Harmony, I would stay onboard and explore the empty ship. There are good beaches for families in all of the other ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuCruise Posted December 20, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Thanks. OP here. This is actually an old post from March. We booked Symphony when it came out. Then looked at Harmony when it came out 2 weeks later and it was $1000 more so we stuck with Symphony. Really looking forward to trying the new ship. Plus, we have never been to Roatan and Costa Maya before. We've been to Cozumel but looks like there are some nice beach options that we missed the last time. So will be good. We may stay on the ship for our Nassau day just to get another sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
