Creator's Key Takeaways

Harmony of the Seas is an Oasis class ship, which is one of the larger ships um from Royal Caribbean.

I love the Aqua Theater. I love seeing those people doing the high dives off of the very top portions of the back of the ship while the ship is moving by the way which is crazy incredible.

I really enjoyed how modern they were, the options of plugins and USB ports and storage. I had plenty of counter space and work space on this ship.

I really enjoyed my time on this ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider the extra costs for packages and excursions when budgeting.
Use a combination of stairs and smart timing for elevators.
