Outstanding review thank you. Looking forward to our Harmony sailing in May even more!

Have a great trip! Wife and I will be sailing out of Galveston on Harmony in May with two other couples. Looking forward to the rest of your posts.

OK I need input from RC cruisers here. I always sail with the drink package and sample all the cocktails. On every other line, I would say alcohol content is low as I can drink all day and not feel drunk. After 3 on this ship, I was buzzed. I’m now on 5. Definitely drunk. Do they just add more alcohol? Or actually make the drinks as they should be made?

Stop the extra tipping. 😄

I'm late page 12 but started reading yesterday. Enjoying your posts. Will be sailing Harmony with two other couples next May. Enjoy your day and cruise!

Had a nice drop on our May 2025 Harmony sailing two weeks ago. Our Ocean View Balcony went down $500. 😀

I was just able to login (US). 🙂

Still can't log in via web (US).

Yes. Can't login and it wants you to verify your information.

Same here. I think I'll wait to hear from a few other brave souls who enter their details, before I update mine ;o)

Same issue. It won't even let me submit new info. IT needs some coffee. 🙂

do they not have a regular hockey skate. On other ships that I have been on they had regular hockey skates as well as figure skates

 

I didn't see both types of skates so can't answer that. The skate I had was a hockey boot and blade but with the ice pick on the toe of the blade. All the skates looked the same to me.

I skated in May. It was tough to get a full schedule before and during the sailing. Yes please bring your own skates. The ones they provide are a hybrid hockey/figure skate with an ice pick on the blade. Not good if you are used to hockey skates.

Our Harmony cruise in May is still $88. Only 20% off. Will purchase when it gets to about $65-$70. I check daily. Not D yet so those sales don't help us. Good luck.

Considering our first TA for 2026. How would you rank the months best to worst? Does it matter East or West bound? TY!

How early does Spellbound or specialty dining show up to book? Does the sailing have to be fully paid for? Don't sail until March 2025. Thanks.

Icon might be the exception - that doesn't work on most ships.

Good to know. Thanks!

I thought this loophole was closed a few years ago

It worked for my wife and I on our May 4th Icon sailing. We could text between us and others with iphones off ship. I could not text to android users. But then mine stopped working late in the cruise for whatever reason. Hers continued to work.

imessage from iphone to iphone works connected to the ships freefi while in airplane mode. The app chat feature also works but you need the app open to see any messages.

Saw Game 7 of Bruins/Leafs in Playmakers on Icon last week. Also first 3 games of Bruins/Panthers. One of the later series games was listed as TNT but ESPN had it.

And you don't see the issues and inconvenience that causes to the main dining room staff as well as your fellow passengers?!?!

How do you know there was any inconvenience to anyone? You don't and there was none.

I was on Icon last week with the 5:00 main seating and arrived at 5:30 many times during the sailing. Others were doing it as well. We just walked directly to our table. May differ on other ships.

Same here with both Royal and Celebrity. Just my PW and all is good.

On my May 4th cruise, I got the Won notification 45 days before. Bid to notification was 14 days.

Wow!  Tell more- was the food amazing??  Favorite chef?  I signed up for presale texts.  Thanks!!!  

Wife and I both enjoyed the food. I like many of the Chef's who were on board but don't really have a favorite. Most were out and about with the passengers during the cruise. Buddy V was doing a tiramisu demo on the pool deck and my wife got one of his creations. If you want a lot of details sign up for the FB group Chef's Making Waves.

I really wanted to be on this cruise but it sold out before I could make a reservation!

We were on this sailing. Had a great time but there were a few misses that I'm sure will be sorted by the sailing in May of 2025. Make sure you sign up for the pre-sale before it goes on sale to the public.https://www.chefsmakingwaves.com/ You will see pricing and available cabins when it's your time to book.

should this happen, ask for “amarula” rather than whatever alternate irish cream they’re pouring. it’s smooth and creamy, with a hint of marula fruit. covered under p+ package.
 

 

THIS! Just got off the Pearl and they had plenty of both. I like a 50/50 mix of Amarula and Mr. Black Cold Brew liquor. So much for my dry Saturday now.
