The show schedule is great!  Do they only provide this in Suites or is it available to all?

I'm not sure but this was available in a rack at the concierge desk in the suite lounge. I'll check if they have them at guest services next time down there.

 

Speaking of, the concierge came in handy since the shore excursion person didn't cancel our original  Jamaica excursion when we changed it to another one.

NOTE: Please don't quote pictures on a live blog. Our gracious host has slow internet and will have to wait for the quoted pics to load before giving us new content.

👍🏻 Speed varies. Right now at 3.9 down and 1.9 up, so not fast but for a ship in the middle of the Caribbean it's good

We have a GoPro 5 and 7. The 7 has a better interface and much better stabilization. I love the GoPro. All the centurion lounge video from the travel day vlog was shot on the GoPro, since can do 120 frames per second for slow mo.

 

 

Thanks for the info.  Have been debating on using GoPro’s trade up program from their website, as I have a 4 year led Kodak camera that no longer works and cost about $200 or so new, so I can send it to them for a $100 discount on a new 7 Black.

PSA - you don't need to load money on the sea pass card to use at the arcade. We had loaded $25 on josh's card and then he was using figuring it would say no credits but once the $25 was up it just started  charging the folio when he used it. Luckily I check often and figured this out $4 in or it could of been expensive.

We are sailing on HOTS in July.  When I saw your thread title, I was thinking it would be great to follow along as I anticipate our trip. After I clicked on the thread, I was surprised.  I just bought an RDX and had been watching some of your videos about the car.

 

Thank you for the information and terrific pictures!

Small World. Strangely earlier this week someone from vegasmessageboard had DIrect messaged me to say they had just bought an rdx found my videos and realized they had been reading my trip reports there.

I also like using the time lapse on my new Hero 7.  

 

After changing from the GoPro 3 to the 7, the battery life doesn't seem to last as long.  In Alaska with the 3 I was able to film the entire glacier experience, from sailing into the channel to exiting which was about 3 hours.  My 7 battery fully charged didn't last for a Miami sail away, from pre-muster to getting out of the channel.  That was under 2 hours and that was with the screen going to sleep.

 

Otherwise I like my new 7.

 

Changing 🤣

 

BTW, can you plug an external battery into it to extend run time?

Nice to know that diamond plus can sit in the reserved seats.  Is that true for the Aqua Theater as well?

I love that you are from S. Jersey and your kid has to have a Philly from Geno's at the airport before leaving. Unless you are far enough out from the city that it's actually a treat to have it handy before the flight.

 

I will be following from out here in the cheap seats. Cannot even really imagine staying in a suite like that. Enjoy, looking forward to the rest! I like your concise video editing! 

Steve's Prince Of Steaks is even better than Geno's or Pat's!

Following.  Love your review thus far.  Will be on Harmony next year.

Changing was more user friendly than saying... Not marked safe from the Caribbean Sea. 🚩

I have a back up battery that came with it.  I will have to investigate this. 

 

Enjoy your day today.

Hello from central NJ, Fligster.  Count me in this group too.

 

I read VMB often (just back from Mirage).  Royal Carib Cruises and Las Vegas are my most frequent getaways.  I enjoyed your recent LV trip report.

 

Then, I'm watching a youtuber that hosts a regular poker game on Thursdays.  Who do I see at the table? I think you know.  And today I see this!  It seems we find the same corners of the internet.

 

Enjoy your cruise.  I'm thinking about taking the family on Harmony in the fall (have some Club Royale offers that may prove irresistible), and am considering a solo trip (any ship) in early June.  Any casino stories appreciated! Take care.

Casino is a good size. They have one poker table that was full with a waiting list when I checked, not sure what stakes but assume 1/2 or 1/3. I have heard the rake is ridiculous. Slots are easy, you can charge your room and transfer right to the machine. Unlike carnival shop we were in last  they have TITO machines so you don't need to go to cashier to get your money. But the Slots are super tight. I was surprised they had Harley Davidson and Heidi machines.

We are on the Harmony in mid-September in a Junior Suite.  I plan on running up to the Coastal Kitchen as soon as we board to attempt reservations.  Could you post the menus for each day so that I can go prepared for which days to try to reserve?  Ugggg...never again.  We are always booking a Grand Suite in the future.  So worth it for us.

Thanks for the show schedule posting. We were on Harmony last year. Again, thank you.
