Made it.  Harmony, 11/10/19 sailing.  Absolutely gorgeous weather.

Online waivers have never been supported on Harmony or Symphony. 

Thank you for the info.  

No, we are on Harmony. 

You're not crazy!  I've been trying to do the same thing for our cruise on 11/10, and am getting the same error message.🤦‍♀️

Just bought it for our Spring Break 2020 cruise.  

Thanks for the heads up, OP!

If it's any consolation, we feel like outsiders sailing with what seems like 90% New Jersey/ New Yorkers too- and we're Californians! 

You'll have a great time on Harmony, no matter what.

Following, thank you!

We are booked on Navigator for Spring Break 2020.  Can't wait to hear your report.

Definitely not a pullman.  I can't say if it was fold out like a futon or a regular sofa bed- it was just magically made up each night when we got back to the room. 

We had a GS on Harmony, and the sofa did pull out into approximately the width of a double, but seemed to be shorter.  It was fine for our 10 year old, and probably would have been room enough for another child as well.  

Just saw that my cruise is now $500 cheaper due to KSF.  Called TA and the "estimated on hold time" is 71 minutes!😲

Wish me luck...

We were on Harmony last fall, and walked right on to the rock wall, zipline, and mini golf.  The only lines we ever stood in were for Flow Rider, and even then it was only a 15-20 minute wait.  

You'll have a great time!

Great to hear they did have standard kid food.  Did you ask for it or they just brought?

It was over a year ago, so I'm not 100% sure, but I think we just asked for it.

We took our 10 year old daughter.  She took a few bites of our food, but the waiter also brought her regular old spaghetti.  It wasn't an issue at all.

And yes, the desserts were amazing- no problem getting her to try those. 😉

Perfect. Thank you!

(I'm unable to locate any of the KSF sailings on the website, seems they may have neglected to actually upload them. LOL. And yes...... I've become pretty expert at making sure I'm looking during their "non blackout" periods from the fine print..)

I'm with you... just tried the link and still doesn't show up when I mock book.

Hope you have better luck!

Awesome!  Thanks so much.

My family and I will be taking a red eye, arriving around 5am in Orlando on embarkation day (yes, I know this is not ideal, simply the only way we can do it).  I'm thinking with gathering luggage, exiting the airport, and travel time to PC, that we'll still get there incredibly early.  Has anyone eaten at any of the restaurants at The Cove?  Is it walkalbe (dragging our luggage, of course ) to the Royal terminal?  We are Suite Class, and able to board early, but I'd still like something to break up the long wait in the morning.  

This is our first time not arriving a day early, and any and all tips are welcome!

What about a pink sparkly lanyard, or one with unicorns or whatever she loves, with the cruise ship/date in holder, and put it in her stocking?

That's exactly how we're surprising our daughter for Christmas!

Great minds think alike. 😉

(Posted this in the NCL forum, too...)

My family and I (46, 41, 11) are planning a cruise next Thanksgiving, and I'm looking at a GS in Allure, or trying the Haven class on NCL Escape.  We've done the Royal Suite Class on Harmony of the Seas, and really enjoyed all the perks.  The majority of the Haven perks seems pretty similar (priority boarding, private restaurant/ sun deck, etc.).  I'm just curious if there are any huge differences- better or worse- that I'm missing.  Anyone who's done both, I'd love your insight!

Oops, sorry- that would have been useful information...  😉

I'm looking at Breakaway, Encore (kind of a long shot at current pricing), or Getaway.

My family and I (46, 41, 11) are considering our first NCL cruise next Thanksgiving, and I'm looking at Haven suites.  We've done the Royal Suite Class on Harmony of the Seas, and really enjoyed all the perks.  The majority of the Haven perks seems pretty similar (priority boarding, private restaurant/ sun deck, etc.).  I'm just curious if there are any huge differences- better or worse- that I'm missing.  Anyone who's done both, I'd love your insight!

We were able to get Wonderland twice with our dining package on Harmony.  You should be fine.

Enjoy!

Thank you!  I will book Allure, and use the extra $1700 for our next cruise!

Thank you for all the replies!  I think we'll be very happy on Allure.

My family (41,46, 11) and I took our first Royal (we are converts from Disney 😉) cruise last November, in a GS on Harmony.  Absolutely LOVED everything about it.  

I'm looking into a cruise for next Thanksgiving and right now Allure, which has an itinerary I like slightly better, and a port I like a million times better is around $1700 cheaper than Harmony.  I know they are sister ships, but for those of you who have been on both recently, other than slides, is there any huge difference?  Is she starting to show her age?  We sailed Explorer this summer, and she definitely was!  I understand a little dating, but just don't want to be on Allure wishing I'd sprung for the newer ship.

We are lowly Gold, and sailed Explorer out of Seattle in July. We arrived at the port at 10:20, were able to check in right away, and were on board at 10:50.
