Welcome!

I just returned from Harmony a week ago. Great ship and you’ll have a great time.

Your questions were answered but I have a few add-on tips. 

1. If anyone has Apple devices, you can use iMessage for free. There is a well known glitch on Harmony. Put your iPhone in airplane mode and connect to the WiFi “Royal-WiFi”.  We all had iPhones and we easily stayed in communication with each other on the ship and my teens could still text friends at home who had iPhones. 

2. On my day 3 cruise compass, voom surf was $15.99 per day and surf and stream was $19.99 per day. They considered this a daily deal so I’m not sure if it was more other days. 

3. If your kids/teens want to do the arcade, you can prepay for packages on your cruise planner but you can’t buy a credit package on the ship. These prepay packages give you a some free credit. Once on the ship, you pay per game. My kids while weren’t excessive could easily rack up a $15 charge in 10 minutes...each game is about $1.25. I think a package gives you some control over how much they spend.

So I can text people at home without ANY charges using my iPhone????

We have an excursion planned in Cozumel for 8:30. Is that ships time? We booked through RC. We have never gone on an excursion before so if anyone can help with details I would appreciate it like - time to be at the gangway- it is a 3-4 hour chocolate factory and Mayan ruin on Cozumel. No ferry! Thanks!

I don't think so..... I wouldn't have a physical card- it would be online. I thought to use it to prepay tips, packages, etc.

Has anyone bought RC Ecards and used them? I am interested in doing this but it would be a significant amount of money if RC wouldn't take it. Do I have to print out or can I keep it on my phone? TIA!!
