I think Harmony has to get her mandatory 5 year maintenance and certification completed which requires a drydock which necessitates the voyage across the pond.

bloody better be! im getting married on her voyage in september 2021. 

i see allure is still in south England but dont want to go on her! i want an AMPED ship damn it ! aha!

I like the big lettering. Something new and different.

Change aint bad!

Change isnt always bad i guess but i think the new size of say symphony and Anthem are proportioned well.

The older ships tend to have a name on the bow but i think they are too small.

The lettering makes it look cheap IMO

far too big, how many times do you need the name of the ship on the ship?

2 on 270

2 on seaplex

2 on the bow

Send pictures!!!

of what? :L

CC only has 100 members so its ok :L

woo hoo! im going to book April 2nd!!!

I would say Greece cruise which is normal rhapsody.

I done Montenegro, Kotor and 2 places in Greece and loved it!

food was fantastic and there was variety between the ports. saying this I'm doing fjords in may hopefully but feel Greece would be preffered for you.

Thinking for a moment it could be the time of day is an issue due to staffing commitments for regular duties.  An evening event likely coincides with peak demand for crew regular duties.  Bars are all open, dinner is in full swing, it's diamond happy hour, etc.  A mid-afternoon reception doesn't compete with the peak of the duty day for crew. 

When I asked the Hotel Director on Empress about the lack of a diamond evening event on that ship one issue was taking crew away from regular duties.  It takes a minimum of 3 crew to execute happy hour.  On a small ship with a small crew she didn't have the resources without impacting service elsewhere on the ship.  

thanks for that twangster, a good insight. all I want is a Dj to play some music and a barman or two to take drink orders that will be paying for per guest for 3 hours and a few nibbles paid for by myself PP

Let's see if @mpoole3 can swing by.  He has recent experience.

Congratulations!

Thanks twangster and everyone!

my TA is on the case but they've said they cant do functions after 5pm which seems a little odd

thanks!

I've seen this brochure many times and will be getting married independently at our destination on day 6.

and then I'm after booking a private venue for a reception for example 3 hours from 5-8

Hi all

I'm getting married next year on harmony of the seas September 26th voyage. i looking to book a venue onboard to have an evening reception on day 6 which is a port day at around 6pm for 3 hours.

has anyone ever organised anything like this? i know you have to go through the groups department but any further info would be great

maybe @Matt has some knowledge 

is it 5 years since symphony launched? would that be a Europe visit?

RIP Empress

I think yes most of the rooms use the sofa as a sofa bed. I just see on the deckplans some say Pullman and some say sofa.

I have yet to be on Harmony so can't talk from personal experience, but isn't Harmony like Symphony...where it has more the trundle bed?  The sofa goes flat and a trundle pulls out from underneath.  We had one of these on Symphony.  Worked well for our kids.

I know some have them but cant seem to find any pictures.

Does anyone know if some interior rooms on Harmony have Pullman beds and has any pictures? I can see on deckplans it says they do but cant find any. or maybe the sofa bed option.

Europe may get the inaugural sailings then hmm. some good prices in may for them.

Here you go J, check this link out: https://www.cruisemapper.com/deckplans/Wonder-Of-The-Seas-2165

thanks for that but I think that is Symphonys deck plans and they have uploaded that but its incorrect as wonder will a lot different to previous oasis class ships. EG 1 flowrider not 2

I know it will probably be delayed but wish there were some deck plans for Wonder.

When do people think they will be released? a couple of months time maybe? and even bookings? will it still be going to CHYNA sorry China

I done my first TA in November last year on Explorer on 5th November I think it was. the first 2/3 were the worst we've ever experienced. granted we went through the bay of Biscay in November so that's never good. and our room was deck 6 at the front so heard the waves crashing against the hull which kept us up.

However on Day 4 everything was really calm.

we departed from Southampton but I've heard if you go from Barcelona it is a lot smoother as you a further south and miss the rougher seas.

I hope I didn't scare you, just my opinion of my TA

slight rise today, I wonder if it will hover around 28/32 for a while now.

Falling!
