Think cruise ships can't get any bigger? Think again. A sister to Royal Caribbean's giant Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas (the current record holders), Harmony of the Seas will eclipse its siblings by more than 1700 tons and hold nearly 100 more passengers at double occupancy. Like the two earlier ships, which made waves in the cruise industry when they debuted in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Harmony will be a floating mega resort, (when she debuts in Europe for the summer), to rival the most spectacular properties on land with dozens of eateries, bars, showrooms and deck-top fun zones.
New on board will be giant, multi-deck water slides - a first for Royal Caribbean, Harmony also will be the first Oasis class ship with a Bionic Bar where the drinks are served by robot bartenders - a concept that first debuted in 2014 on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas. In addition, the ship will have larger cabins than Oasis and Allure in some categories, and windowless "inside" cabins will be outfitted with Royal Caribbean's exclusive Virtual Balconies, which offer a real-time view of the outdoors - a concept that debuted in 2014 on the line's Navigator of the Seas.
Suite passengers also will have exclusive new areas to enjoy including a suite lounge, a private suites-only restaurant called Coastal Kitchen and a full service Suite Sun Zone sun deck. New restaurants will include the whimsical Wonderland Imaginative Cuisine eatery that first debuted on the Quantum. Also planned is Sabor, the modern Mexican restaurant that Royal Caribbean recently started adding to their ships.
After spending the Spring and Summer cruising the Mediterranean from Barcelona, Harmony will re-position to Fort Lauderdale, Fl., to offer alternating seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean voyages.
