Day 2 continued....
Lunch was a windjammer around 1pm. We had to scan our cards upon entering and exiting and were routed through the sink stations.  In addition to serving us, someone handed us our plates and silverware.  We ate a very light lunch, but the food was really good yesterday! 
We came back to the cabin afterwards and I enjoyed being able to hear the bands at the main pool on my central park balcony.
Cocktail class:  We did this at 3pm in wonderland.  The setting was nice, but I was disappointed in the class.  They had to modify it with Covid protocols, but I feel like they could have found more innovative ways to try to do it. I did not feel it was an esp. good value compared to other tastings and classes we have done.  After the class, we headed to the bar at Sabor for our first happy hour drink, "the Jalapeno margarita.  The margarita did not  disappoint and we finished them on our balcony again listening to the music from the pool.  Tonight was formal night so we had to change.
Diner:  Dinner tonight was at 150 Central park.  This was our first time eating there and I really enjoyed the whole experience!  For wine, we ordered a pinot noir from Burgundy.  We both got the scallops and split the pork belly appetizer.  For my main course, I got the lobster thermidor.  I was really in love with the bread, it had so many amazing flavors!!!  For desert, I was a big fan of the fried cheesecake and the presentation. We also split the peanut butter tart.  We are eating here again on saturday for my actual birthday and I am really glad to have picked this restaurant to return to!!
Headliner show:  We went to the headliner show at 7pm in the main theatre starring singer Jimmy Hopper.  I thought it was really good.  I really liked what they did with one of the songs from the Trans-Siberian orchestra and with the lighting.  
After the show was back to schooner bar for more of our diamond drinks and Eric the piano guy again. 
We have already started the morning of Day #3 which is our second sea day. Breakfast was the same routine today.  Diamond lounge for specialty coffee, and park cafe for breakfast.  Afterwards, we walked the track on deck 5.  The walking decks on the Oasis class are probably my favorite!!

Oh wow! That sounds so fun to do the back to back to back haha! one more week and we are very excited to be joining you! I had heard some of the Grease show was cancelled, so good to hear it is still happening (at least most of it) and hopefully by next week it will be good to go!
I saw somewhere else, that the aqua shows were cancelled for this current cruise week (2nd-9th). So hopefully that will be up and going next week as well.
This is our very first RCL cruise and we are very excited. rotten timing for sure, but we still want to have fun. I personally don't think missing a stop will ruin the cruise, but without entertainment I would have much more concerns! So thank you again for the information and sharing your experience!
Wishing you a safe and fun 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.

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! 

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.
