I have long hair. Take your own dryer and products. The shampoo/conditioner doesn't work well for long hair. The dryer - will shut off after getting too hot and/or using for too long.

It's been a year since Harmony but everyone was lovely. I've never really had a bad experience with RC staff.

I've been following along! Your Chef's Table experience seemed VERY lackluster. I have it planned for next week's cruise on Anthem. Hoping it's a better experience!

I can only speak to what I ordered without a dining package and only ordered raw items - tuna and salmon rolls. I'm a huge sushi person and loved it. As stated before there are plenty of cooked options if that is your concern.

You can wait until you are on the ship - there may be deals and packages. In July the Red Carpet Glam was $10 cheaper booking in person than it was online.

Loving your review. I teared up when reading about your mom. Love your attitude and writing style!

Just my own experience - I've booked solo a few times and every single time it's cheaper to get the studio cabin. I also book as early as I can because these rooms sell out quickly.

HA! I love a firm mattress but I had to request a topper. It was painfully hard.

1. The bed was the most uncomfortable bed at sea.

.

I thought so too until I asked for a mattress pad on the second night. I was fine after.

Last month on Harmony - we did 15. A bunch of us were linked before but not all of us. We tried talking to our travel agents but did not all parties did. Day of embarkation we went down to dining and they accommodated us. We had a table every night for 15 at 6pm. It worked for us. No, everyone cannot speak but you can change your seats every night.

But beware....some ships, such as Harmony OTS advertise 'solo virtual balconies', but DON'T have ANY!! My son was booked in one for our Harmony cruise next week (Booked a year ago), but was reading online from some fairly angry past passengers, that THERE WERE NO VIRTUAL SOLO inside cabins. After climbing up the RCI corporate ladder (by both phone and letter writing/emails, we finally reached a VP who admitted it was erroneous advertising (which to date has NOT been corrected online on their website??) and said there were NONE on the Harmony. To appease my son, they moved him to to a Promenade cabin (for 2 - but charged him the same rate as the fake solo 'virtual balcony' cabin). He was very happy with this, but is bespeaks a larger problem with RCI - i.e., honesty, integrity and any concern for their passengers happiness with them!!

Late to the game but same. When I booked in July '17 for Jul'18 - it said I was getting a virtual balcony in my studio room. None to be found.

Heavy Duty Magnets.

I was cute. The Netflix one kept referencing an "Alexa" with the same job as the Hallmark movie which makes me think the movies are related.

I was ready to go at 6:30 for self assist...was at airport by 7:18 - and that's with one exit down and miscommunication with friends. I wouldn't schedule a flight for too early though just in case.

Just did this 3 weeks ago. Bahamas- we got off ship and walked around the area. Some people went to lunch, other shopped.

St Thomas - excursion to St John's island. Not worth it. We spent most of the time traveling with only an hour and a half left on the beach.

St Kitts- we had funky weather so we went with a resort for the day. Bob's suggestions are better.

Just caught up today on your review. Loved everything. I've been to almost all of the places you wrote about and now I want to go back. What a great review/cruise!!!

I'm guessing the Belt Parkway is what I would be taking if I flew into JFK and tried to get to CL from there?

Yup, and it's a mess unless you are driving non-rush hour times. Also - rush hour is a loose term since a lot of hours are rush hours here. Unless it's 11am or 9am on a weekend it's rush hour. I am exaggerating but not by a whole lot.

It's most definitely not an English speaking cruise line - Papperdelle in Duck sauce - sounds like pasta in chinese duck sauce.

Items may not be fully cooked - means might be rare/medium/notwelldone

Glad you had a good time! Safe flight home!

Catching up - Certainly the "fittest" belly flop contest I've ever seen. Great pics.

I was also just off of Harmony this month and we ate in the MDR every night, 15 of us. Respectfully disagree. While the menus were similar with some repeats I didn't feel the same way. The menus were not wildly different but it wasn't one or two things changed.

A frozen Toblerone?????? Gimmmmmme.

Agreeing with the Sports Pool post. I just got off Harmony a little more than a week ago. The lifeguards were very quick to make sure there no kids and to ask kids who seemed on the cusp their age.

Hotel looks beautiful! I see you can't sleep on cruise day either, (who can?). Enjoy!!!

Safe Flight!

Following!
