Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean is gutting the salarium on the Harmony of the Seas to squeeze in 91 new rooms.

Some of these rooms can be a huge mistake to book.

Guaranteed cabins are always the lowest price cabins and so you think you're getting a deal, but getting that particular deal may come with some things that you don't expect.

If you are in these new deck three rooms, you're no longer going to be under the calm, relaxed steps of the people in the Crown Lounge, and you are also no longer under the gentle, rowdiness of the attic comedy club.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Avoid booking guaranteed cabins in 2026 to prevent ending up in one of the 91 new ghost cabins.
✓Be wary of rooms between 3401 and 3587, as they are directly under the expanded Casino Royale and may be noisy.
✓Consider cabins 11920, 11924, 12920, and 12924 for aft-facing balconies at standard balcony prices.
✓If you are a light sleeper, avoid cabins next to stairs on decks 11 and 12.
✓For quiet and convenience, consider rooms 6454 through 6462 near the Vitality Cafe and spa.

Noise from casinos, pools, or parties — Avoid cabins under the Casino Royale (deck 3) or pool deck (deck 14); choose quieter areas like near the spa.
Getting a bad cabin with guaranteed booking — Avoid guaranteed cabins to prevent being assigned to one of the 91 new ghost cabins.
Mobility issues in narrow hallways — Be cautious with aft-facing balcony cabins on decks 11 and 12, as they are at the end of narrow hallways.
