Hope everyone is having a wonderful sea day.

Bill and I had our B2B covid tests done this morning about 7:00 and had the results in less than 30 minutes. We both tested negative, so we get to stay on board another week. 

We have made it to Coco Cay a couple of hours earlier than scheduled. The Independence is also here. So should be pretty busy on the island once the gangways are open. 

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. And wishing each of you a happy and healthy 2022.

Thank you so much for the updates! We are scheduled for Jan 9th and have been wondering if events/shows or activities are being cancelled on Harmony so far. So please keep on with the updates for last few days of your cruise!  and I hope you have a fantastic trip! 

We are also scheduled to be on board the next two cruises as well. The passenger count for next week is guesstimated to be about 4000. 

It was announced last night and again this morning on the Morning Show that we do have covid cases aboard. The only show that has been affected is Grease. And not the entire cast, as there is talk about doing a portion of Grease but not the entire show. All other shows have gone on as planned. All the New Year's Eve parties are also going ahead as scheduled. 

We are having a wonderful time; we do wear our masks more than is required and really do not come in close contact with a lot of people, but then I am the one responsible for my health. 

We have not missed a single port, with only one more to go. Coco Cay is scheduled for tomorrow. I will let you know if we are allowed to dock.

Good Morning Everyone,

                                          We have never sailed in a Concierge Level Suite before and are booked In a Crown loft suite on Harmony of the Seas. Can you please tells us what the services are that the Concierge Desk provides ? Thanks everyone for your help with this.

You should get an email sometime during the week prior to your cruise. The Concierge will be able to book your shows and dining. On Harmony, in a Grand Suite or higher you can eat in Coastal Kitchen. One of my favorite places to eat. If you want to book a shore excursion, the concierge will be able to do that for you as well. 

We have sailed in a CL in the past and the convenience of the SL and CK is really nice. You will enjoy the suite life.

Hi all,

I have a Western Caribbean cruise booked on Symphony of the Seas in March  but after reading a lot from you on this forum and hearing of all the cruise changes I'm worried I made a mistake.

Can anybody who has gone on this cruise recently (Cozumel, Belize, Roatan, Puerto Costa Maya) give me any feedback? Were you able to port? Really hoping to go on excursions, that's really the big reason for booking.

Also, was your entertainment/dining on board still functioning and worth it?

Any feedback would be appreciated as my husband is military and we don't have much flexibility in changing vacation time so we need to decide asap. Thank you all!!

We are currently aboard the Harmony. Our itinerary is almost the same. We are not going to Belize. We were in Cozumel yesterday, no problem getting off the ship and walking about on our own. The only restrictions we have is to obey all the local mask ordinances. Today we are in Roatan and able to get off and explore on our own. Tomorrow is Costa Maya. So far, so good. But each day is a new adventure. 

The ship has cleared and we can get off with no restrictions other than obeying the local mask restrictions. So two ports so far and no problems. 

We are on board and having a wonderful time. We docked in Cozumel yesterday and where able to get off the ship with no restrictions. I did not see any restrictions for unvaccinated children to have to be on a ships tour in that port as well. We are currently in Roatan, docked and waiting for clearance. Looking forward to seeing everyone next week. Stay safe and do not forget about testing requirements. I have heard some people are having trouble getting appointments on New Year's Eve and New Years Day. 

Merry Christmas Eve, fellow cruisers - we will be boarding the Harmony on Dec 26th and will do our best to keep the ship in good shape for everyone. We took our eMeds home tests this morning and we are good to go. The results came back almost before we signed off after taking the test. See you on Jan 2nd.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

We just booked this cruise yesterday while onboard the Allure of the Seas along with the cruise before this one. Looking forward to chatting with everyone over the next 6 or so months. 

Bedroom area has a television that will come out of the ceiling if you want to watch while resting. The upstairs bathroom shower has three shower heads - one at each end and a rain shower in the middle. I wish I knew what I did with the pictures from the Harmony, there were some differences but not much.  

These are of the downstairs bathroom.

Anyone that can give info on these suites and also the perks would be appreciated! thanks

We have enjoyed the Crown Lofts on both the Harmony and the Allure - Here are a couple of pictures of the one on Allure. These are part of the downstairs section. I will do a couple of posts.
