I have never seen onion rings outside of Johnny Rockets or Chops 

Chops eh?  I suppose $70 for onion rings with a free filet mignon could be palatable.

Is there anywhere free we can get them?  Do they ever show up in Windjammer?  Can the MDR accommodate this request (guessing no)?

Things I figured out from searching:

No Playmakers on Harmony

Johnny Rockets has them but not free (is it worth $12.99 just for rings?  Maybe, as a last resort...)

If you have any other suggestions I'd appreciate it!

What ship or class of ship are you sailing?

 

Anyone under age 21 in the group?

 

Thanks everyone for the ideas.  

We're on Harmony.  1 person in the GS currently under 21.  We're probably not big enough drinkers to justify any drink package, the stuff available in the SL should be enough for even the biggest drinker.

I have two rooms booked, GS and OV.

GS has 3 people: 2 non drinkers and 1 moderate drinker.

OV has 2 people: 1 non drinker and 1 heavy(er) drinker

I booked it this way because those will be the sleeping arrangements, but I've since learned you can print new key cards and RCL doesn't care where people sleep. 

Would it be better to switch the heavier drinker with a non-drinker's reservation from the OV into the GS so they could access the SL for free drinks, but get them a key card to the OV room after boarding?  If we reprint/swap keycards, would this change who could eat in the CK and get the other GS perks?

Thanks for any tips on what to do

We were on Harmony on August and ate at Wonderland with my mother who is vegetarian (not vegan).   They were easily able to accommodate her - some straight up vegetarian dishes were available and some modifications to other dishes were made.  I'm sure this is a common request there so you should have no issues.  Just ask your server to take care of the ordering and they will do a good job!  Didn't try CP150 though.

Probably should just stick to "no shirt, no shoes, no service" and be done with it.

Is this available for just US citizens or can green card holders (specifically a Canadian passport) use it as well?

We used Canadian passports and the facial recognition worked for us.  Very quick!

How do you cook food in the freezer? I seriously need to know this!

When the only tool you have is a freezer, everything looks like a popsicle.

While heading to cabin, I think I see my blue suitcase. Nope, not mine. What are the odds.

 

 

 

For some reason I found that text face on the luggage hilarious.  When the internet bleeds back into real life.. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Don't remember seeing it in the cruise compass, but I will double check when I get home.  The WJ entrance always seemed to have the theme nights posted the morning.. mexican, chocolate buffet, mongolian.  Ate in the MDR every night though so didn't pay close attention.

I'm hearing that there is a chocolate buffet in the Windjammer, typically (unannounced) on day 5. . .

There was a chocolate buffet.  I believe it was on day 6, because I missed it due to day 6 being formal/lobster night in the MDR.  I remember seeing it posted at the WJ entrance the morning of.

Wait a second... I thought Pinnacles sailed in insides. 😉😂

 

 

A few questions John.

 

Did they do separate lines for US and Non-US lines or just one line for all?  If I read it tight they do facial recognition like in Terminal A in Miami?  Did you see a Global Entry line?  Would a porter still expedite the process like in the years of past?

 

Thanks John for taking the time to bring us along. Give Bella a chin rub for me. 

 

 

I’m travelling on a Canadian passport and was sent through the same line as the Americans.  Facial recognition worked for 4 (all nexus holders) but not for the 1 non-nexus holder.  

I barely broke my stride between scanning the sea pass on exit and arriving at the Uber pickup spot.  Very efficient.

It was nice meeting you this morning. 

Likewise, my very brief brush with fame!  A literal elevator pitch meeting.  

Say is spinning guy a permanent fixture in the 1887 show?  He was announced as a special guest and didn’t seem to fix in exactly with the show.

Do you know if they had a white party this week? I usually see it once I'm on board and have nothing white to wear...trying to pass along the info for the young twenty-somethings in the group. We sail this Sunday the 11th, frantically packing now....Your review is great!

There is a white night dance party on Harmony this week.  Day 6, 11pm, in the Solarium? 🤔

Following virtually and literally because we are on the same ship 🙂 

I'm on RCL Harmony of the Seas Aug 4-11.  Hopefully those tracks keep moving to the east!

Aug 5 CocoCay (Bahamas)

Aug 7 St. Thomas

Aug 8 St. Maarten

Thanks for the updates.

Love the review and especially all the tips.  We will put them to good use next week!  How did you manage to get so many pictures without any people in them in that last batch of updates?  For a ship with a few thousand people on it seems empty!
