Diva Onboard Posted August 3, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Does anyone have the real low down regarding the Solarium on the Harmony. I have read conflicting posts - some say there is no pool and some say there must be. Is there a small pool in the Harmony's Solarium or just two hot tubs.

Panda3 Posted June 25, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2017 This is so disappointing. The Oasis had a pool and 5 hot tubs in the solarium. I seriously want a refund now. you don't want to hot tub after laying out in the sun for hours, you want the shady solarium pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinders411 Posted June 25, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I wish RCI would put Solarium pools on all new builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda3 Posted June 25, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 25, 2017 LOL you are kidding about the refund right? Sort of, but 1/2 serious. My husband is trying to calm me down now. Think of this. I take a vacation once a year. With the exception of a carnival cruise which i will never do again, I sailed Royal. Every Royal ship had a pool in the solarium. That's all I do in the daytime. I don't play basketballl or do the flowrider. I relax,read a book, suntan and hang out and have drinks all day in the solarium. Now, there is no place to cool off. It may be silly to some but that's how I feel. I realize it's all my fault for assuming RC has a solarium pool. I made that assumption based on the other RC ships I had been on. The carnival cruise that was so bad was because their were kids in the pool with diapers, just not the vacation vibe I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBSteelerfan Posted June 26, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I wish RCI would put Solarium pools on all new builds. Agreed! The solarium area is very nice on Harmony, but certainly needs a pool in there. I just can't understand why they didn't. Wonder if that will change on Symphony.

Wonder if that will change on Symphony. I don't believe they have shared that information on Symphony, but it has been said by Royal that the Solarium will be different on Symphony compared to Oasis/Allure/Harmony. I have a hard time believing it won't have a pool in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diadora Posted June 26, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Symphony does have a pool in the solarium. You can see the deck plans if you look around from them. First thing I checked for before booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hot tubs at night are great before bed time if the main pool deck ones have a 100 teenagers in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tralynn222 Posted June 26, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 26, 2017 We originally booked Harmony last year, but once we found out there was no pool, we changed the reservation to Allure. We too spend most of our time in the Solarium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted June 26, 2017 #20 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I agree, it's sort of a big deal. Same with Radiance Class ships...they have a pool, but it's "under glass", so you can't tan in there. I prefer that area because it's quieter without all the kid "hubbub"....and on those ships, it's simply not possible to tan in the solarium.

Gloworm2 Posted June 26, 2017 #21 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Sailed Harmony in November. Solarium is awesome. No pool. But there are 3 pools just 30 seconds away. One never had kids in it prob because the kids didn't want to mingle with the adults. Now granted I went the week after thanksgiving when there were not a ton of kids on board. But if you get hot in the Solarium a pool is only a few steps away for a quick dip.

Gloworm2 Posted June 26, 2017 #23 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Probably that the pizza is often not hot[emoji3] That was my experience Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaPei Posted June 26, 2017 #24 Share Posted June 26, 2017 There is a misting station on the Harmony. And I know a lot of people on here complain about not having the pool, and having the misting station instead, but everybody standing under the mister said they preferred that other than the pool. I think most people in the Solarium while I was on there last week used the Solarium to read/relax, and just cooled off under the mister. They would not have been in a pool anyway.
