Late last month, I went on my first cruise of the year. After some hectic drama of pre-cruise testing, we were so thankful to be on board this mega ship for a week, completely disconnected from reality.
This was my second time on this family of ships. I previously sailed on Allure of the Seas, Harmony’s sister ship back in 2019. An almost carbon copy of Allure and Oasis, Harmony did have some new features that I did not experience in 2019. New restaurants, new slides, and new shows were some of the highlights.
As a part of a mini serious I will be doing deep dives into the ship itself. Giving you the good, the bad, the ugly, and all the tips in between.
This week we are chatting onboard activities. On a mega-ship you can expect there is plenty to do. But what should you expect before boarding?
