I thought I had done my homework for my first cruise BUT, here are some tips I learned on Harmony of the seas. We booked this ship for all the “extra fun activities” (zip line, ultimate abyss, rock wall etc,). We found a few negatives.
The on boat zip line requires “secure shoes”. My wife assumed the shoes she wears to theme park on roller coasters or even on dragons breath zip line are secure...not so! Shoes must have laces!!! I could not find this anywhere!
Obviously the rock walls include the same standard. She didn’t pack shoes with laces so she couldn’t use these options!
When speaking with guest services, we got an apology and “yeah we’ve heard that before”. Don’t miss out like we did!!
the ultimate abyss has certain rules that are hard to find! Do not wear a tank top!! Yes you’re in the sun in 80 degree weather but your expected to wear some type of sleeve so be sure to do that...otherwise it’s a trip to the room!
waterslides! You can have buttons or zippers on your back pocket but watch out for a smart watch!! That Apple Watch you’ve always got on? That is NOT ALLOWED on water slides!!
long story short, ditch everything before adventures on the boat, wear sleeves, and make sure your shoes have LACES!!! It will give you a much better experience
