Does anyone have a complete listing with time of the entertainment for Dec 8th Harmony of the Seas cruise? I know RCL has multiple listings but I remember seeing a one or two page list of all entertainment and the time for each day in the past. I think is is in a buried page somewhere in the RCL website but I cannot find it. Has anyone seen and shared such a list?
Thanks! Waiting for Sunday!!!!

If you're on the western itinerary, only buy your Cubans from La Casa del Habano. There's one in Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Falmouth. The Falmouth store is right at the pier and brand new. Anywhere else chances are high they could be fakes. On the eastern, there's one in Marigold.
One suggestion... Buy your Cubans at La Casa de Habano in Cozumel. Their prices are much better than those in the Caymans or Falmouth. The most expensive cigars I have found in the Caribbean were at the Falmouth La Casa de Habano. While the stores are a chain throughout the world, each have the ability to price their product. (This info came from a friend of mine who just recently was the Caribbean sales rep for Cuban cigars servicing La Casa.)
The La Casa in Cozumel is Downtown just across from the main ferry pier, upstairs.

Unlike the Oasis and Allure there is no dipping pool in the Solarium on the Harmony. Disappointing since we used the hot tubs and the dipping pool alternating between the two... one hot one cold.

After weeks with no help from anyone at RC, I was able to finally get into my account by gleaning information from numerous members here and rebuilding it. Now my account is accessible and is correct. After all of this, I am still totally amazed that I never got a notification that my account was being merged, changed or updated. I only found out when I booked a cruise on a Monday night and Tuesday morning I could not access my account. After a 35+ year career in IT, responsible for hundreds of thousands of time critical business and customer operations, I am totally dumbfounded regarding the way RC has handled this. I can assure you in the vast majority of companies I have been involved with would at least been courteous enough to let us, their loyal customers, know what was going on and provide a vigorous help line to assist us in resolving our access issues. I for one have 101 days at sea with RC. More than many and less than many more. I am a RC customer who has spent many tens of thousands of dollars on their product. Would one not think that a loyal customer who has purchased that much “product” would be handled better? Whether you are a first time cruiser or a Pinnacle Member, RC needs to,understand that we are their business... and We should be respected.

Easy to find. Just look for the largest ship you have ever seen and head that way. Like BNBR said, “You can’t miss it if you tried.” Have a wonderful cruise!

You must try Wonderland. The concept can be a little disconcerting to some by throw caution to the wind and give it a go! Remember you’re on vacation. Do not, repeat, do not pass up dessert! It is incredible!

RCs website is so frustrating! I just completed and printed my set sail passes, however, I can not locate the luggage tags that I need to print. Can any one guide me in the right direction please! Thanks!
Just printed my SetSail for May 20 on the Oasis and got a pseudo black and white luggage tag. First time for that. They said if I didn’t get real tags I could use the pseudo tags at the port to get real ones. I have not heard of the 49 day deal. I’ll have to check on that in a week or so. (If I can get into the web site... Big if.)

Well I just tried signing into the website and again nothing. I have only had one userid and one password over the past and none of it works now. I guess that’s their version of high security. I do have a backdoor link to sign in via the old sign-in page so I am able to see that our two bookings are still there. Any other link I select caries me back to the new sign-in screen that does not work. Has anyone been able to sign in via the new page using their old userid and password? Or has everyone changed to an email address and new password.

Many cabins are sold in blocks to other TAs. You might want to check with several online cruise booking sites (many enable you to pick specific cabins) and see if you can get lucky and book the cabin you want.

Well, it has been nearly four weeks and I still cannot sign in directly into the Royal Caribbean web site. I have been able to get in via some of the addresses I have seen here, but when are these folks going to fix this? I have a cruise in 2 months. Wonder if it will be fixed before then? I did get my booking confirmation yesterday for the cruise I booked the same day the website went kaflooy. It took them three weeks.

There is one Cuban Cigar I would recommend and I have never seen counterfeited. Bolivars are available in most ports ( especially Cozumel - Casa de Havana, St. Maarten and Falmouth. As a general rule I would heartily recommend any cigar from My Father, especially the Flor de la las Antillas. It is a wonderful medium to full body smoke with great flavor and an easy draw.

Two more cigar smokers here. The Sky Bar area is the best we have. So loved the older ship’s cigar lounges... ahh the old days.

Thanks for sharing your “tour of duty” with all of us. Most of us are very interested in the behind the scenes life on a cruise ship.

I just booked the Oasis of Seas on August 26-18 for 7 days.
The drink package is currently $410 for the week. I was told there are sales sometimes so I am wondering if I should wait. Thank you

I don’t know your C&A status, but I can tell you the 20% off discount for Diamond members is gone. It applies only to Diamond + and above. Pay attention to RCCL emails. They run Discounts on drink, internet and specialty dinning regularly. Grab one of those. No discounts on board.

I know there have been several changes/upgrades to the main dining room menu on All Oasis class ships. Does anyone have the menus to links to the current dinner menus? We are Diamonds sailing on the Oasis on May 20, 2018. Thanks in advance for your help!

Thinking of booking for next year sometime between late January and May for the Caribbean. I’m not very familiar with this class of ship, I know Symphony is new and I’ve heard good things about Oasis. Freedom class is our current favorite, but the itineraries are limited. Pros and cons of either Oasis or Symphony? Best itinerary of either? Best balcony cabin and why?
Thanks
We have sailed the Freedom class and Oasis class several times (Oasis, Allure, Harmony, Freedom). The biggest difference is that you need reservations for shows on the Oasis class. This is not a problem per se, but can be a bit disconcerting when you have never had to do it. We love the Solarium on Oasis class ships... THE best hands down!
Be careful about balcony cabins however, as RCL considers an inside balcony overlooking the Boardwalk a balcony. So if you see a super good price on a balcony cabin check to make sure it is a “real” outside balcony as opposed to the Boardwalk balcony.
We like the “hump”cabins that are on the four bumps on the side of the ship. Hump cabins are a little more expensive but you get a larger balcony.
The itineraries are similar to the Freedom but some include San Juan which we really enjoyed.
Hope this helps!

We used to dress for formal nights (long dresses and tux) in the past until the airlines luggage fees and limits put the kibosh on that. Now I bring two pairs of slacks (brown and gray) and multiple shirts for formal nights and nice specialty restaurants. Otherwise... shorts and polo shirts.

We live in Atlanta and strongly prefer sailing out of Port Canaveral so we can drive. The drive from ATL to the port is about 7 1/2 with breaks for lunch, restrooms. Flying takes about 9 to 10 hours with people pawing at you and your luggage and then catching a shuttle from Orlando to the port. We normally drive down a day or two before and stay near the port at hotels that provide weekly parking and shuttles to/from the ship.

Remember if you self disembark, you can leave the ship anytime once disembarkation begins. We are in Atlanta, so if we fly, we use Luggage Valet, and leave the ship when we want to get to the airport. If we drive to Port Canaveral we self disembark and take off.

We found that Diamond Plus gets a 20% discount on the drink packages on board. Diamond does not as we found on the Harmony. Best to buy your drink package prior to your cruise when they are on sale.

Harmony 12-8 List of all Entertainment
in Royal Caribbean International
Posted
Yes, but it is all in piecemeal lists. Thanks for the help. You are probably right that RCL does not publish a full list. We will just have to piece it together.
