crosby99 Posted February 5, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Did oasis 4 years ago. Priced a cruise and more for harmony .Is harmony with the extra $$$? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Depends how many extra dollars. The is very little difference apart from slides, wonderland & bionic bar(plus probably a few other things). Is it worth the cash?...depends what you want...I would go on either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpolm Posted February 5, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted February 5, 2017 For us two cabins about 800-1k dollars more. And western Caribbean vs eastern everything else same (dates) Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molsonschooner Posted February 5, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2017 of course, it depends on the difference in price. The ships are pretty much the same size. The harmony has the water and dry slides if that interests you. We are going on harmony this August, looking forward to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted February 5, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I love them both, but personally I would go on the Harmony again just to see Simeon. :) :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The sea calls my name Posted February 5, 2017 #7 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Did oasis 4 years ago. Priced a cruise and more for harmony .Is harmony with the extra $$$? Sent from my iPhone using Forums My DH and I have been on all three of the "sisters". To answer your question, while we were on the Harmony in November we booked our next cruise, yes back to our favorite the Oasis. There were some pros to the HOS ( the cabin layout is better in my opinion, even without the pool in the Solarium, I like the extra level and layout, but I personally detest the Abyss and think it made a negative impact on the neighborhood philosophy. So back to the Oasis we go. For all that extra money there are so many things you could enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1200S Posted February 5, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Got off Harmony last month and have been on Oasis twice and other then the cabin layout I prefer Oasis. The price difference could pay for some really nice excursions or jewelry. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird67 Posted February 5, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 5, 2017 My spouse and I just returned from the Harmony yesterday and had this conversation many times during the week. I agree.. the cabin layout on the Harmony is much improved and the Abyss is awful.. what a waste and how it ruins part of the Boardwalk. It is a beautiful ship. I would cruise on any of the three (Oasis, Allure and Harmony) and have not strayed for the past six years but if the cost is that much more I may pass on the Harmony. Hubby said he would choose the Harmony again simply due to the cabin layout ( he loved the two closets). I like cruising from PE versus PC so it is the Allure or Harmony for us.

Gabruska Posted February 7, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I am also deciding between Harmony and Oasis. We have two boys 12 and 14 and I don't see any water slides on any pictures or videos. Does Oasis have any waterslides? Which one would be better with kids? About $500.00 difference. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About $500.00 difference.Thank you I've done oasis so in my opinion they are both excellent choices for kids. Whether one is better than the other read above. Not much difference except slides. By far one of my kids (teens especially) favorite trip. There's a ton to do! And they were 13 and 10 and 5 at the time. Now thry will be 17,14, and 9. Stoked!

Gabruska Posted February 7, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Thank you I guess the two big differences are the slides (not really $500) value lol and the other thing is Harmony has the Royal IQ app. We will need that for sure otherwise will have to purchase internet for the communication with kids when they go on their own around the ship. How about the shows would there be some special show on Harmony not to miss? Also does Oasis play outdoor movies. The boys loved doing that in the evenings. Thank you all for help.

The Broadway show on Harmony is Grease, on Oasis it's CATS. Both ships play movies on the Aquatheater screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopster95 Posted February 7, 2017 #17 Share Posted February 7, 2017 How about the shows would there be some special show on Harmony not to miss? The very best show I have ever seen on any RCL sailing is "Columbus: The Musical". Don't miss it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are pretty much same with lots of shows, entertainment,etc shows maybe different from ship to ship As in what above poster said. Butvthey offer most the same in entertainmrnt. I believe they both have the flowrider, zip line etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare thrifty99 Posted February 7, 2017 #19 Share Posted February 7, 2017 My wife and I just had this same discussion. For a November cruise, the Harmony is $500 more than Oasis. I did not want to pay more for basically the same ship. Her pros for Harmony: Newer ship Some new restaurants to try Prefers Grease over Cats for musical I'm not sure that is worth $500, but to her it is. If you are Diamond or higher I believe Oasis has Diamond Lounge in the nicer former Suite Lounge with views above the Boardwalk. I believe on Harmony it is on a lower deck with no outside views. Someone please correct this if wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bird67 Posted February 7, 2017 #21 Share Posted February 7, 2017 The Abyss is the 10 (?) story dry slide on the Harmony. I think I remember the diamond lounge being inside. Both are awesome ships.. just depends on which port you want to sail out of and the extra $$$. Oh, the Harmony does have a bunch of hand washing stations before entry into the buffet and solarium. I saw them in other areas too. Again, not a deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare vacationlover_mn Posted February 7, 2017 #22 Share Posted February 7, 2017 If we don't do Alaska next year, we might try Oasis... Hopefully CATS will be replaced by then :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully CATS will be replaced by then :) According to one of the Cats Dancers just this past weekend, Cats is contracted for 6 years. Been 2 he said, so you have 4 more years with Cats. Roughly speaking - did not quote exact dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
