Jmeyers Posted January 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Looking at a cruise in March of 2020. We have a hold on Navigator which will be refurbished. Thinking of changing to Harmony. Would you do Harmony or refurbished Navigator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torbs Posted January 12, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2019 2 different experiences. I was on the refurbished Mariner over the summer. Voyager/Freedom class still my favorite class but, they can only spit and shine so much. Public areas were in great shape (Mariner) and the addition of water slides and skypad was cool but rooms weren't touched. Harmony is "latest and greatest" for what that's worth. Booked on it myself for Dec '19..Oh wait, it's 2019 already.... smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voyager70 Posted January 12, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I also prefer Voyager & Freedom class over Oasis class. If you've never sailed O class though I'd give Harmony a go just to experience it. Depends on what you're interested in. If entertainment and multiple dining options are more your thing I'd also go with Harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsb Posted January 12, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Harmony for sure. The bigger the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdad59 Posted January 12, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2019 We've been on both. Both are quite nice. You are choosing between degrees of goodness, so you can't lose. I would choose the itinerary you like best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted January 12, 2019 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Since both ships are sailing the Caribbean (east/west are all the same to us), we would select the Harmony. More things to do and see on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtulipe Posted January 12, 2019 #8 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Navigator in March 20 just does 3 and 4 nights Bahamas cruises which goes to just two ports, Nassau and Coco Cay, which isn't great especially if one wants to do a B2B for a total of seven nights. Harmony does 7 nights eastern and western Caribbean cruises which include Coco Cay and either are far better itineraries in my opinion.

Jmeyers Posted January 12, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Wes were actually thinking about doing a B2B on the Navigator and going to Perfect Day twice. I know Harmony will have more to do. The new Navigator looks amazing though. I should mention I’ll be traveling with two teens. Navigator would be an ocean balcony and a Promenade room. Harmony would be two Central Park balconies. Harmony is about $600 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted January 12, 2019 #10 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I love Mon(e)y, so I would go for the gator. The teens will have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted January 12, 2019 #11 Share Posted January 12, 2019 For traveling with teens, I'd definitely do Harmony. There is so much to do and it may be easier for them to meet others their ages to have fun with on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted January 13, 2019 #12 Share Posted January 13, 2019 "Refurbished" means nothing. They might add or subtract spaces, or simply scour the hull of barnacles. It's not like a home renovation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted January 13, 2019 #13 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Nothing compares to Oasis Class, it is a world of it's own. With kids it would be hands down Harmony. When sailing Oasis class it is for the ship not the itineraries. Check out youtube of the ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
