Harmony LIVE, November 12th - 19th. Happier Than a Seagull with a French Fry!

[A&L_Ont]

Not Andrew but I've been there 3 times so far and I find the service and food to be very good. Easy ride on the water taxi right over to downtown and then short walk to the right to the hotel. The open air full service bar is very nice ☺

We've been going there for 10 years about 2-3 times a year. It just feels like home. Great staff, great food and great location.

Hi Andrew. It has been great fun following along. Have one question for you. Saw your scope tonight about dancing at Dazzles. We were under the impression from looking at the RCCL website that the space that is Dazzles on Oasis and Allure was being used for the Wonderland restaurant on Harmony. Was that not right? Is Dazzles in the same space on Harmony as it is on Oasis and Allure? Thanks.

Hi Andrew,

 

Do you know where they serve fresh juice? On Quantum, they served fresh OJ at the buffet and other fresh juice at the Solarium Bar. But from the pictures of the Solarium Bar, I don't see the set-up. Thank you.

Dazzles is in the same location on Harmony as it is on Oasis and a Allure. Wonderland on Harmony is located on decks 11 and 12 where the suite lounge used to be located on Oasis and a Allure.

 

RC website is not known for its great clarity. :p

Hello!! Love your live review and pics. Looks amazing!!

 

We will be on harmony on 12/3 sailing and we can't wait.

 

Hope your having an amazing time!!

 

Do you know who the headliner show is? Wonder if it will be the same in two weeks?

 

Do you have any pics of the main dining room menus or the daily cruise show/event listings?

 

Can't wait to see more of your pics!

 

We are on our countdown!!!

 

Have fun!!!

 

This week it is Tony Tillman, and I doubt it will be the same one in two weeks. The ship is amazing, and thank-you for the kind words.

 

Here is a link to the Compasses. I am running them separately from the review. It makes it easier if that is all you want to see. I decided not to do the MDR menus, it is just to much work.

Should I pack an umbrella or is it a waste of space? Also, has RC captains ever skipped a port due to bad weather? What's the protocol for inclimate weather?

 

The umbrella is a tough call. In the Caribbean I wouldn't. In Europe we did, as well as Alaska. The only times we skipped a port was due to unsafe weather. Two times it was too windy to dock and the other time it was due to Hurricane Sandy bearing down on the port we were to stop at.

I have seen juice at a few locations but I have no idea if it is true fresh juice. It will be your adventure to find it when you experience Harmony. Sorry that I can't help you more.

-Safe and Fast Wifi

Hi,

Thanks for the review. Where can I find the cruise compass for Harmony of the Seas, Eastern sailing?

Go back one page to post 457, and there's a link there to the compasses.

Here's some photos from the day. The old corner bar is gone at the downtown pier. It has been torn down and is going to be turned into an addition Diamonds International.

We hadn't seen this bar before. It definitely left a mark.

I have been watching the thread that you are posting the compasses to see if there is any mention of a "punch" type Coffee Card and haven't seen anything. If it isn't too much trouble, would you find out if such a Coffee Card exists? Or maybe someone else who has sailed from FLL already knows the answer? If it does exist, does it include Starbucks? Thanks much!

 

I'm enjoying following along! We can't wait to board in just 9 days!!

[Moiemoie]

Is wonderland only available for dinner dining?

 

Would you recommend that experience or would you recommend other specialty dining ?

[MattInFLL]

I'm going to jump in. It's only for dinner. And I did it on Anthem (at the urging of Merion Mom) and thought it was by far the best specialty dining in the fleet. And I'm not a foodie. It's just an amazing experience. But you have to be willing to try stuff you may not be used to. Or that just sounds weird :)

There has been no mention of a coffee card here on Harmony.

Thanks Matt. All 8 people from our extended group have dinned in Wonderland and they all loved it. We have not, but Lisa is more of a meat and potatoes girl. Matt, gave a good description above.

 

Edit- here is link to Wonderland photos. The OP there has a link to them.
