Clarea Posted June 23, 2015 #28 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Will harmony be staying in Europe? or will it go to the Caribbean after it does it sail around Europe, Harmony will go to Ft.

Clarea Posted June 23, 2015 #30 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) What ship will be in Europe then Harmony leaves Europe in Fall 2016. Royal has not released the summer schedule for 2017 yet, and probably won't until March/April 2016. Edited June 23, 2015 by clarea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCManders99 Posted June 23, 2015 #31 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Hoping harmony stays in Florida for summer 2017. We are booked in April 2017 but may need to change to June if the schools decide to make spring break the week before Easter instead of the week after. Want to do eastern itinerary so can't just move to week before and I want to cruise harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsail Posted June 23, 2015 #32 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I noticed the AquaTheater (A4) is only a 1 bdrm/1 bath on Harmony, just like the 'new GS' on Oasis/Allure suites The room/balcony are completely different... just wondering if they are going to keep it classed as an A4 or match Oasis/Allure and reclass it as a GS The aft GS on oasis/allure are being reclassed as A4/A3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea wanderer Posted June 23, 2015 #33 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Does RCI give out any swag to pax who are in the first few inaugural sailings of a new vessel? Can't wait till Nov. 2016! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerxspeedy Posted June 23, 2015 #34 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Oasis / Harmony I had prepared this back when they released the deck plans as a comparison to the revitalized Oasis. Deck 4 Blaze (eliminated) / Comedy Club (larger) Comedy Live (moved) / Diamond Club Hall of Odds (casino) / Art Gallery Spiral Stairway to Promenade / No Stairway from Casio to Promenade Izumi (small part of former MDR / Izumi (much enlarged venue) Diamond Lounge (already removed) / 15 additional Solo cabins Deck 5 Starbucks (moved) / Royal IQ Champagne Bar (eliminated) / Bionic Bar Silk (Oasis DD renovation) / Chic DD venue Vitality Spa and Fitness / Revised Vitality Spa and Fitness Deck 6 Vitality Café (moved) / Vitality Café exterior in Gym Vitality Spa and Fitness / Revised Vitality Spa and Fitness Next Cruise (moved) Cup and Scoops / Starbucks Arcade (moved) / Arcade (enlarged) Sabor Bar (moved) / Sabor Bar (integrated w/ 1 bar) Sabor Interior Bar (removed) / One Sabor Bar on Boardwalk Deck 8 Art Gallery (moved) / Additional retail Park Café Bar (central) / Giovani’s Table Bar (to side) Deck 11/12 Library (removed) / Wonderland Diamond Club (moved) Deck 14 Forward outdoor area / Solarium area enhanced? (port-side entrance) / (only over bridge wings outdoor?) Imagination Studio / Adventure Art Storage area / Kid’s Arcade (removed) Deck 15 Solarium Café / Solarium Bistro 2 Whirlpools (midship) / Waterslide exit area Wipe Out Café / Mini Bites Deck 16 Mast Bar (eliminated) /// Deck 17 Suite Lounge (port) / Coastal Kitchen / (with Prime Table?) Coastal Kitchen / Suite Lounge (starboard) / Suite Sun Deck (forward) / Suite Bar and lounge *forward deck. Deck 18 Non-access area / Waterslide Launch area Great summary- I'm looking forward to experiencing these differences. I imagine the art and finishes will be unique - similar to quantum?? Regardless of what they do it will be fun to watch the progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjjb12 Posted June 23, 2015 #35 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Wonder if they're going to figure out how to throw on a ropes course somewhere since that seems to be something NCL/Carnival are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted June 23, 2015 #36 Share Posted June 23, 2015 The cabins are of a design that is similar to Quantum class. I did not know that- How are they different? Are the OV balcony cabins larger than the Oasis/Allure? That would be nice. :) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsconley19 Posted June 23, 2015 #37 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Quantum had the most and smartest storage of any cruise cabin I have even stayed in! Loved that room! I really hope they incorporate more storage on Harmony. Allure's storage was noticeably lacking compared to Freedom class. Balcony cabins on Allure were 182 sq.' versus 199 sq.' on Freedom. More cabins, less space. Perhaps they will do something like Quantum! Tom Edited June 23, 2015 by tsconley19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty nut Posted June 23, 2015 #38 Share Posted June 23, 2015 What I don't understand is Harmony is an Oasis/Quantum class hybrid but they put her in the Oasis class. Why not the Quantum class, since it was built later? I had never heard of a cruise line doing that before. :confused: Harmony is not a hybrid ship, not by a long shot. She was born, bread, designed, engineered and built as 100% Oasis class. She shares the exact same hull and superstructure as her Oasis sisters. There is zero Quantum running through her blood.

jules815 Posted June 23, 2015 #40 Share Posted June 23, 2015 The aft GS on oasis/allure are being reclassed as A4/A3 Does this mean all GS's might be reclassed? We booked a GS (8660 - it's not an aft cabin) specifically so we'd be able to take advantage of the Coastal Kitchen and suite lounge during the 13 day transatlantic. All OS's are already sold out, and while I know the lofts are very nice, didn't want to deal with stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is only the suites that were added in the area that was previously the public balconies on Oasis and Allure that are being reclassified. Those suites are already in the right category on Harmony.

NatzHase Posted June 23, 2015 #43 Share Posted June 23, 2015 do someone know about christening ( place and date) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted June 23, 2015 #44 Share Posted June 23, 2015 do someone know about christening ( place and date) I do not think there has been an announcement. While they do have the days prior to the maiden voyage on May 29, 2016 in Southampton as a possibility, they might be waiting for the end of that sailing and do it on Barcelona. The ship arrives in Barcelona on Sunday, June 5th, 2016, but does not sail on her first revenue sailing until Tuesday, June 7th, 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OfTheSeasCruiser Posted June 23, 2015 #47 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I thought someone reported that the mini golf will be removed from Harmony? Any truth to this rumor, and if so, any idea what will replace it? Just take a look at the deck plans, mini golf is still there and is called Harmony Dunes.

OfTheSeasCruiser Posted June 23, 2015 #48 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) I just wanted to put this out there... http://www.royalcaribbean.com/connect/coolest-new-2016-cruises/#.VYhunlog5hA.twitter According to this link, which was shared on Twitter by Royal PR, "Harmony of the Seas debuts Spring 2016 with plenty of reasons to get excited – like all the perks that make Oasis class the world’s favorite cruise ships, plus the newest experiences of Quantum class, PLUS a few surprises we can’t tell you about just yet. You can be among the first to experience Harmony of the Seas’ seven neighborhoods and three towering waterslides on her debut sailings to the Western Mediterranean, all through the summer." Hmm, what could this be referring to? Is there any spaces left on the deck plans where they could be adding some sort of surprise? This article was published on June 18, 2015 by the way, so very current. Edited June 23, 2015 by OfTheSeasCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jm485 Posted June 23, 2015 #49 Share Posted June 23, 2015 We got what seemed to be a good price for a 1 bedroom AquaTheater (A4 category) suites in Feb. 2017. I'm really hoping that the bathrooms in those are larger than those in the 2 bedroom suites. Any idea when cabin layouts will start to show up?
