Thanks for the responses. I was just wondering if it worked similar to how Disney does it with their PhotoPass photographers.

First time RCer leaving in a week on the harmony. I doubt I will want to pay for any of the photo packages, but just curious if I do pose for their pictures will they also take a picture or two with my camera? Thanks for the help

So just to be clear, if I get the voom package on the ship, can I text back home to the states while on board?

Cruising for the first time on the harmony next week and have some photo related questions Is there any way to know in advance what time and place the photographers will be out for the pose photo taking with backdrops? (I don't see this listed in old Cruise Planners for example) i would assume this takes place at least on fornal.nights? How bad are the lines? What are some of the other types of pictures that frequently gets taken as part of the photo packages ? Any other tips/advice? Thanks in advance for your help!

So here's my version of the question. next week i am going to have the refreshment package or the medium level drink package. Would I be able in the morning to get a coffee say in the morning And then on the way back to the room get a soda from a freestyle machine to put in the fridge in the room for later that day?

Do you have to buy tickets in advance for the up up and away Balloon ride at cococay? If we just decided we were done with the beach and wanted to ride the balloon Is there a ticket stand there? Or is it still purchase through the app even if we wait until we are actually on the island? Also, does the balloon ride ever sell out In advance? Thanks for the help!

Love your night time pics (and of course this whole report)! what time in the night could you take those of everything being empty?

Just looking for any recommendations and or advice in using the bus service on disembarkation day? One specific question is if I have a noon flight out of MCO, what time should I be trying to board the shuttle? Thanks in advance for the help!

I am not looking for deck by deck plans.

So here is one for the allure. I think they are sometimes in the Cruise Compass?

I forgot to add that I think there is a version of this actually on the ships by the elevators maybe? It is something similar to this image but much simpler

I once saw a map of Harmony where it was like the ship was cut in half from the front to the back and then it had labels for this floor has the Royal Promenade in the middle, that floor is where the boardwalk is in the back of the boat etc. I have Googled every way I can think of to try to find it again but have failed miserably. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Which rental company's are the closest to the terminal?

First-time Cruiser hair here looking for any advice from the experts as far as things I should bring on the cruise that I wouldn't ordinarily think of. I have already read about magnetic hooks and towel clips, just was wondering if there was any other similar types of items I should be looking into to make the cruise go better. thanks in advance for the help!

First time RCCL cruiser here trying to decide betw. The soda and refreshment packages. Generally speaking, what are the restrictions on these? I tried to read the fine print, but still couldn't tell. Is it something like one refill every 15 minutes, an hour, or what? Can i get a coffee and then go straight to the coke machine to take back to the room for later? How do they police the no sharing w others rule? Thanks in advance for the help!

This is what i should have asked. There will be people using a rolling carry on size suitcase so I won't feel stupid on day one using a roller case.

Are we talkin carry on shoulder bag car carry on as in airport suitcase? I have a trip next month and would like to know if a lot of people just use their carry on Airport luggage for the first day of the cruise?

We have booked a 3 night specialty dining pacakge for our first cruise. My question is this... how bad will the availanle dining times be once i get on the ship and deal with the dining reservations?

My goal right now is to do wonderland n ight 2, chops night 3 and Jamie's last night. Thanks in advance for.the help!

So taking my first RC cruise on the harmony next February for a 7 night cruise. The dining part of the cruise planner app finally opened up last week bur I have a question. In reviewing Cruise materials online, I thought I would want to book a 4 night dining package. My problem is that there currently being offered only a 3 night plan and an unlimited package but no 4 or 5 night plan. Does that mean they won't ever be offered on my cruise? if not, how does it work then? thanks for the help!

For our upcoming cruise on harmony of the seas leaving from Port Canaveral, right now we are planning to stay the night before at Walt Disney World. ( we are Disney Vacation Club members so you will not have to pay for a hotel room at night) My question is what are some of the best and cheapest ways to get from Disney to Port Canaveral and conversely from Port Canaveral to airport in Orlando? Any tips or advice and how to handle these types of cruise Transportation issues would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks in advance for the help!

Just curious if there was ever any explanation given as to why they took out the pool from the solarium area on the harmony given the other Oasis class ships all had a adults-only pool?

Thanks so much for the picture offer! Which of the three pools is adults only on the harmony? I thought there was no adults only pool on the harmony because they did not include one in the solarium?

First Time Harmony Cruiser here with here some newbie questions on the Harmony's pools. Can someone describe the major differences between the three pools? Is one better than the other and if so why? Which ones gets more crowded than the others? Which ones are easier to find chairs for in the morning? Which pool if any two people try to reserve spots for in advance? I've been reading some Trip reviews lately and I'm getting concerned about the crowds at the pools and all the spots being reserved first thing in the morning, so I hope some Harmonyb eterans can give me the inside scoop. Thanks in advance for the help!

Sorry, I should have said port days are days 4, 5 and 7. (I think it's an odd rotation in that the last full day is the coco cay day.)
