Wilson Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 A wise man named @Matt once said..."ask nicely, all they can say is no". I recently took this advice while on the Harmony group cruise. As many of you know the Diamond Plus and Suite guests are invited on complimentary tours. As a Diamond member I have received a couple behind the scenes tours, but really wanted to do the Bridge Tour on Harmony. I visited the Loyalty Ambassador and explained that I was still 2 cruises away from D+, but was interested in the Bridge Tour if they had any cancellations. She explained that there was plenty of room for me to go since it fell on a port day. The tour is only about 20 minutes, but I was very excited about visiting the bridge and especially on the World's largest cruise ship. There was lots of interesting facts shared by the officers. Here are just a couple things. 1. There are over 1400 cameras installed around the ship. Obviously none in the cabins or restrooms. 2. At Harmony's top speed of 25 knots, she can come to a complete stop in 1.4 miles. The tour usually consist of 15-20 people, but there were only 6 in our party. They will not let you take video, but you are welcome to take as many still shots as you like. I going to attempt to attach a few pics taken from my phone. I think this wise man also stated that another acceptable practice is to offer a piece of negotiable paper with a President's pic.

twangster Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'm a preemie (long ways to D+) so had to use several presidential papers to buy the All Access Tour, but I agree, it's an awesome experience to visit the bridge of the largest cruise ship in the world!

That's OK, what we have here is mostly presidents, plus a couple of founding fathers, one of whom was "a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean."

ChrisinCT Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Just did the Behind the Scenes tour on Oasis. I took a ton of pictures! Really enjoyed the bridge and engineering. It is something to do once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
