THERE’S NO SHORTAGE OF ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS. IN FACT, YOU MIGHT STRUGGLE TO FIT IN EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO DO.
acrobatic performances, and enough adrenaline to keep you gripped from start to finish. Hideaway Heist is fun for the whole family with its comical, 1950s holiday resort vibe.
Other entertainment options include The Attic, Harmony of the Seas’ nightclub, as well as the dance parties on the Royal Promenade that take guests back in time with ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s music. For something different, check out the ice shows in Studio B or try your hand at Puzzle Break: Escape the Rubicon, an interactive, problem-solving group activity where guests are challenged to use clues to solve a collection of puzzles.
The kids are also entertained around the clock with superb dedicated kids’ clubs, Splashaway Bay interactive water park, various slides and waterslides, sports courts, two FlowRider surfing simulators, inter- actions with their DreamWorks characters, arcade games, and much more.
P.S. Be sure to look out for the pop-up piano player. You never know where you’ll spot him, but he can usually be found in one of the elevators.
ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS
_ Harmony of the Seas offers a wide range of accommodation options including Inside Balcony, Virtual Balcony, Family Ocean-View, Presidential Family Suite, AquaTheater Suites, Sky Loft Suite, Royal Loft Suite, Central Park View with Balcony, Boardwalk View with Balcony, and more.
My balcony cabin on Deck 9 featured the exact same design and décor as balcony cabins on Anthem of the Seas and Ovation of
the Seas. Even the bathrooms are identical. So if you’ve experienced any of the Oasis- or Quantum- class ships, then you know what to expect: Stateroom accommodations are generous in size with a Queen- size round- ended bed that takes center stage alongside a comfortable sofa (which often doubles up as a pullout bed). You’ll also find a large vanity area with mirror and stool, and a selection of drawer and closet space.
FAVORITE SPACES
_ I haven’t mentioned every single thing that you can find or do aboard Harmony of the Seas. I’d probably need my very own issue of Porthole Cruise
Magazine to do that. But I can’t finish this piece without mentioning just a few more spaces that caught my attention.
If you want peace and quiet while relaxing in beautiful surroundings, then find yourself a lounger in the Solarium. This is a stunning space and, unlike the Solariums aboard other ships, has sectioned breaks in the glass to allow fresh air to flow through. It also has its own bar, so there’s no need to venture far for refreshments. The views are stunning and it’s one of those places that lifts the everyday stresses from your mind the instant you step through the door.
Spa lovers will be bowled over as they enter the Vitality Spa and Fitness center, one of the largest, most impressive spas at sea. And the onboard shopping possibilities are what I call dangerous: Bulgari, Cartier, Kate Spade, Omega, Michael Kors, and more are featured, so shoppers should be prepared!
