Within hours of us boarding the beautiful Harmony of the Seas in Port Canaveral, the captain made an announcement to the passengers that due to the developing Hurricane Dorian, we would be sailing to the western Caribbean ports of Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Roatan, along with our scheduled visit to Perfect Day at Coco Cay (the renovated island is incredible btw). While initially disappointing, it turned out to be a one of a kind, amazing cruise. It actually would up being extended into a 10 day cruise because we were unable to safely get back to Port Canaveral. The crew handled the storm incredibly, from flying in extra entertainment to perform onboard, to always making sure there was plenty of food (the Mariner of the Seas was docked next to us in Cozumel and gave us some extra food), and to keeping us in beautiful weather throughout.

Our waiter & waitress became like family to us, and we looked forward every night to dining with them serving us (we ate at Specialty Restaurant one night and preferred eating in the Main Dinning Room better because they were so nice). Royal Caribbean extended all of our drink packages and any other packages that we had paid for. They also gave us Crown & Anchor points for every extra night we were onboard the ship (since we were in a junior suite we got double the points per night). Throughout the experience we had nothing but a great time and we feel that Royal Caribbean did an excellent job keeping us updated and entertained throughout the whole ordeal. Next time we cruise we actually hope that this happens again so that we get an extended cruise again! 100% recommend cruising with Royal.
