I like the breakfast sandwiches but I find that they are never warm enough...or at least that is how they were on on Allure and Oasis. Were they hot on Harmony?

Going to book a 2018 next week.

Thanks for doing this. We are going to be on Harmony on June 10.

Have you seen any information about mixology classes?

Also I saw a post on Oasis that Sabor is doing a happy hour where you can just order guacamole....have you seen that on Harmony?

Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

How was sabor bar. Is it larger since the sabor bar that is on the boardwalk on oasis and alure is not on harmony.

I've been thinking about doing the all access tour on harmony in June. I will skip it now. I want to see more crew areas.

Initially the Escape Room was free, but they do charge for it now.

Good to know...I guess it was to popular or either people were reserving and not showing up.

I can answer most of these for you, as I was just on the Harmony a few weeks ago.

 

You do keep your phone on Airplane mode and simply use the wifi feature (even with the text option).

 

It does sync with your cruise planner calendar and will show all show and dining reservations that you have made, as well as any activities/excursions you pre-planned and purchased prior to your cruise (excursions outside of Royal Caribbean sponsored are not on the app for obvious reasons).

 

It will have your cruise compasses on there. I found that something would be updated on the app version of the compass, but somethings were not. Our aqua show that was canceled every night on our cruise until the last day would show up on the following day when it was rescheduled.

 

As far as scheduling and canceling things on the app, I personally found it a very useful tool. In fact, as soon as we boarded, I connected to the wifi right in the Promenade and was able to schedule dining within 5 minutes of being on board without having to go stand in line anywhere. I also was able to cancel dining reservations mid-week that we had and wanted to move around. I know that I have seen people report issues, but we didn't have the first problem with doing our dining reservations or cancellations on the app. Of course, we had traditional dining and not MTD, so we didn't do reservations for that on the App, we only did specialty dining reservations.

 

I would also like to add that you can view your onboard account to see what your balance is at anytime during your cruise. It is in real time, so if you go to a bar and order a drink (we had the drink packages) it will show up immediately on your app.

 

We downloaded the app about a week before our cruise, but it really didn't need to be downloaded that far in advance because there is nothing you can do on it until you board the ship. So, I would say download the day prior to your cruise and then when you board you can login and access it immediately!

 

Enjoy your cruise. I'm already cruise shopping for something in March for my birthday even though we have a cruise booked for December next year! LOL

Were you using one of the specialty dining packages when you made these reservations.

When you did the escape room was there a charge. I just went to book the escape room for our cruise in June and there is a charge of $8 per person. I thought it was always included.

Thanks for your response. We will get the package before sailing.

Sorry for all of the questions. Do you know if on night one were they offering discount at specialty restaurants. I know they sometimes do this. Thought that might be a good night to go to hibachi since it is not part of the package.

The package says you have to eat at a restaurant on night one or two.

Thank you!

Do you know if you are able to purchase the dining packages on board on day one?

Great review so far. We will be on Harmony in June.

Yes, Royal does offer a three, four and five night dining package which is cheaper than if you book the restaurants separately.

Thank you. I'm happy to hear they offered it for Harmony. We are big fans of the specialty restaurants.

I am loving your review!

Was the specialty restaurant discount offered for your sailing....the promotion where if you book 5 nights its x amount of dollars...not a percentage off.

I'm hopefully they will offer that promotion when we sail on Harmony in June.

We booked our sip and stream package this week with the cyber Monday special.

I booked this for our upcoming cruise in June. It seems like a good value. i was always planning on getting a drink package. The voom is the bonus...not sure how much we will use voom. I like being disconnected while at sea.

I highly recommend people use the app. We used in on our last international flight. It's very easy to use.

Is the beach pool a salt water pool?

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

That is our go to pool. I miss the umbrellas with tables though, plus it looks like more loungers. :([/quote

 

Is there any shade near the beach pool with the umbrellas removed?

Is the beach pool still a salt water pool? I love the beach pool but I don't like the water in the pool on Oasis and Allure?

I like the way the new solarium looks but I will miss the pool. It is often to hot for it to be comfortable to use the hot tubs for extended periods of time. I like how they added more seating and took advantage of the area above the bridge.

Have you seen anyone actually sitting under the misters?

D1 Balcony

 

 

Thank you. This seems like a good layout now with the new room design.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

Can someone post a picture of a regular balcony room with the bed by the bathroom. On the Oasis and allure this placement seemed cramped based on where the closest was. Does the new room design solve that issue?

9156 has the bed by the bath.

Thank you

Interested in seeing photos of MDR menus. Was the lamb posted on a formal night?

 

I was debating getting speciality dining packages esp since my kids would only be $10.

 

Any large groups with my time and walked up had to wait long?

I say go for the speciality. We don't waste our time with the MDR anymore. We always find speciality to be a much better experience.
