Joe01 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Currently about to book our B2B for this summer. It was between Harmony and Symphony and I went for Harmony because Symphony calls into CocoCay on the last day which is less than ideal. However, I've been on Harmony 3 times already and I feel that I've done that ship enough times for now. The trouble is that I do want to see CocoCay. I'm really not sure if I want to take this one. I'm actually a bit done with doing 2nd gen Oasis Class all the time, but at least SY has a few improvements. What do you think? Book or not?

WannaCruise Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Not clear...what is wrong with going to Coco Cay on your last day? If price is similar and that's only negative then I'd try Symphony just to see how it compares (although I imagine it'll be more similar than different). But nothing wrong with repeating a ship again. (I just posted about this and many good thoughts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue with CocoCay on the last day is that I prefer to have an at sea day on the last day, and the last day is usually a rush to get everything done for me so I won't be able to enjoy the port as much. Price is neck and neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price is neck and neck. Ah ok..that makes total sense. I feel the same way. If you've done Symphony already and the itinerary is better with Harmony, then maybe book Harmony again? Don't think you can go wrong either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like Symphony might make the most sense then - you can get the 'latest and greatest' since the ship sounds like your destination, and even if it's less than ideal on the timing you'd have the chance to see Coco Cay. Maybe start doing some pre-packing the night before Coco Cay so things are a little bit less rushed and you can enjoy the day on the island? It sounds like you'd have a great time on Harmony, too - but based on what you've indicated and if pricing is all the same, Symphony might have a slight edge.

Traveler Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 If you are planning B2B maybe you can mix as the ports are near by. Start with Symphony and change to Harmony ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe01 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Booked Harmony. Still unsure to be honest. My gut is telling me that I made the wrong decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go with your gut. Sounds like you might be at the point of "been there done that". We hit that point and wanted new experiences. We have 2 first time cruises booked...an Alaskan and a Southern Caribbean. The excitement of new ports is great!! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did book Harmony because we've not been to CocoCay before and that was the lure of the itinerary. But I'm really having second thoughts about the ship.

Matt Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 I love Harmony and feel the Oasis Class ships in particular are ripe for doing again and again. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
