Royal Carribean Cruise Ship Will Blow Your Mind!
I don't really like cruises. To me, they're typically four or five days on open water with shitty Wi-Fi, mediocre food, cramped rooms, washed-up comics, and over-the-hill showgirls. By the third day my personal highlight is usually happy hour trivia on the lido deck.
But Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas isn't at all like what I associate with cruising. It's now the largest ship on the water, an innovative, technologically advanced cruise liner that's more floating resort city than marine vessel.
The ship is divided into seven themed neighborhoods, but the coolest by far are Central Park and the Boardwalk.
The first thing that hits you when you walk out to the Boardwalk on Deck 6 is the smell of the hot dog stand, and the grilled peppers and onions served with its impressive array of sausages. Then you'll hear the music and laughs from the grand carousel, a merry-go-round with as many adults riding as kids.
Interior cruise ship cabins usually make you feel like you're sleeping in a mausoleum, and are typically places designed to make sure you spend as much time as possible NOT in your room (where you are NOT spending any money). But Harmony of the Seas makes them a little more bearable.
The interior cabins here have "virtual balconies," a projection from a camera mounted on the side of the ship that plays over an entire wall of the room. So even though you're not getting any of those actual benefits like "fresh air" or "sunshine," you still won't feel completely claustrophobic. And if you want to sleep until 3pm with no concept of time, you can turn it off and get the true inside-cabin experience.

And it's not the motel room beach scenes/Britto crap you typically see on ships, either. Some of it is even, dare we say, thought-provoking. Or, at the very least, it gives you something interesting to look at other than the water. |
