Cruise a holic Posted April 12, 2016 #2079 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The boardwalk isn't a good location if you cannot deal with niose. Between the merry go round, rock climbing walls, waterslides and all the morning through latenight activities, not for evveryone. i want the sound of the ocean or Central Park!

Rare A&L_Ont Posted April 12, 2016 #2085 Share Posted April 12, 2016 It looks a basketball climbing net for kids. So much for having a quieter meal outside at JR. ;) That being said it gives the kiddies something to do while waiting for food at JR. :) I guess it is a great addition to the "carnival theme" of the board walk. I can't wait to see the drunks trying it out at night, or better yet one getting stuck in there.:D Yorkvillian said it right, don't book a cabin over the Lucky Climber.

The Sunset Glow Posted April 12, 2016 #2086 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The boardwalk isn't a good location if you cannot deal with niose. Between the merry go round, rock climbing walls, waterslides and all the morning through latenight activities, not for evveryone. i want the sound of the ocean or Central Park! We did a boardwalk balcony once because the kids and hubby wanted to try it. The kids thought it was great - I will never do it again. I like peace and tranquillity on my balcony and you won't get that in a boardwalk balcony - I knew that beforehand but sacrificed for the family :rolleyes: Between the screams from the zip line, the aqua theatre shows, the movies, the noisy kids in the teen center, the ping pong, the basketball court and the constant ringing of that d**n bell every time the carousel started just about drove me nuts! I would try a central park though because that's my favorite area of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny AZ Girl Posted April 12, 2016 #2088 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Actually, we enjoyed our BB probably more than any other balcony we have had. It is unique to this class of ship and not something available on other ships, so we decided to go for it on our last Oasis cruise. We found we were drawn to the views of the wake and the constant activity on the Boardwalk. We were in 11329 (last aft cabin) and had a perfect wake view. Plus, I enjoyed watching the shows and practices in the Aquatheater, the zipliners overhead and the movies on the screen from our balcony. You do have to be careful and keep your curtains closed when you want/need privacy (one young man put on quite a show for us one night - but I think it was intentional:rolleyes:)and the bass from the movie screen kept me awake one night when I wanted to go to bed early, but the inconveniences were minor for the experience that this unique cabin gave us. I do enjoy my OV balconies and would not want a BB for every cruise, but on our Oasis cruise it was a lot of fun. We booked our Harmony TA a year out and still missed out on snagging another BB, or I would have done so without a second thought. JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruizefan Posted April 13, 2016 #2089 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Thank you for your mini review! We are looking forward to our cabin #11325 on Harmony May 29th Gesendet von meinem Lenovo A816 mit Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shauncruises Posted April 13, 2016 #2090 Share Posted April 13, 2016 So much wonderful information. I learn so much from all of you seasoned cruisers! We must wait until next year but the anticipation keeps me going and I cannot wait to read reviews once Harmony begins sailing! I look forward to it all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthworm Jim Posted April 14, 2016 #2094 Share Posted April 14, 2016 From the Royal Caribbean Blog What do you get when you combine art and function on Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas? The lucky climber! Harmony of the Seas will be the first ship to feature the Luckey Climber play area, located at the end of the Boardwalk. Luckey Climber is a brand of rather large clibming structures that are surrounded by a net, designed for kids to jump on and explore. Thanks. That's exactly what I was trying to figure out: Is it art or a kid's play thing? Apparently it's both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthworm Jim Posted April 14, 2016 #2095 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) What went through my mind was, "don't let Owen climb in there as how would it ever be cleaned of germs". I'd guess, it won't be (not very often at least). The same way a playground on land, or for that matter a tree, or a rock, or a park bench, or anything else a kid might touch, never gets cleaned. It won't be. But kids (and adults) touch all kinds of stuff like that and survive. It might be prudent to get them to wash up after their done climbing on it though.

Lloyd555 Posted April 15, 2016 Author #2097 Share Posted April 15, 2016 More purple slide pieces added to the Ultimate Abyss at each end of what has been there for a while. And they've painted part of the Boardwalk 'ceiling'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitalKyle Posted April 15, 2016 #2100 Share Posted April 15, 2016 All things considered, it's not the eyesore I expected it was going to be. It really seems like RCI has designed the slides to have as minimal an impact as possible to the ship's lines. I appreciate that :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
