Odyssey or Harmony?

[luisc25]

Hello, we are planning another cruise to the Caribbean, just don’t know which one to get Odyssey or Harmony?

Odyssey 8 day southern over Harmony 7 day

 

Harmony 7 day over Odyssey 6 day

It will be interesting to read people's opinions. I really like Oasis class ships and have yet to book a Quantum class ship. I'm presently looking at Oasis vs. Odyssey.

Great 8 night itinerary that hasn’t been done from Florida often.  Aruba, Curaco and Grand Cayman. Plus some relaxing sea days.   No flights to San Juan needed.

That is what I was looking at. Unfortunately quite a bit more $ than Oasis.

We're doing both in November 😉

4/5 Odyssey, then 7 day Oasis🐱

 

7 day Oasis including 1 night hotel, was a lot less than 6 day Odyssey

Relatively speaking there are some great deals on Oasis.    Odyssey is over the top, even beyond Symphony.  I’m paying as much for one balcony in March 2022 as I have for 2 balconies on Oasis.  Kids are off at university now and not sailing with us so we are splurging on this one. 

 

BTW, love Oasis.  Sailed on her at Christmas and have 2 more on her this year.

We are doing both sailings on Odyssey as well...

 

- 6 night leaving 4/03/21

- 8 night leaving 4/09/21

 

We have sailed on all 4 Oasis class ships, and have sailed on Anthem of the Seas 11 times. It is REALLY convenient for us to cruise on the Anthem as no air is needed. They are totally different. We like them both, but we are drawn to the Odyssey itinerary to the southern Caribbean. 
 

Additionally, since we have to fly from NJ to FL, we are trying to get our monies worth so, we added the 6 nighter too 😁.

It would be over $1600.00  more for an 8 day Odyssey OV balcony over a 7 day Oasis OV balcony. And they want $430 extra for a refundable deposit on Odyssey...😯

With one less day and 1600 less I would take the Oasis or look at  11-12 day out of Bayonne on Anthem for comparisons sake or turn  my 7day Oasis into a b2b

That Odyssey 8 days looks amazing, Aruba it’s fun, every time I go there to visit my brother I have fun.

It is really enticing and I love Aruba. But I am not liking the price at all.

Yes the 8 days cruise to Aruba is pricey, it’s the only one I see going to southern Caribbean so they charge a premium.

The 4D aft balcony cabins on deck 10 look great, can’t get those on Oasis.

I like sailing new ships. We've done Harmony and Symphony in recent years. When they announced Wonder to Asia I looked at Odyssey. We are booked on a 6 night in January. This will be our first Q class. 

 

My advice; Look for a TA with group space, the price will likely be lower and the deposit refundable.

If the itineraries have similar interest to you, I would pick the Odyssey to see the new ship. Have a great cruise!
