Royal Suite Class

To borrow a phrase from the movie industry, Royal Caribbean is rebooting the perks and services offered to guests staying in their most luxurious accomodations, and that includes guests aboard Harmony of the Seas.

The Royal Suite Class introduces three levels of service that offer guests the kind of luxury travel they have come to expect.

Star Class

As a Star Class Suite guest, you’ll enjoy the round-the-clock services of an exclusive Royal Genie personal assistant. During your voyage, your Royal Genie will attend to, and anticipate, your every need and desire. Your wish is your Royal Genie’s command.

Sky Class

As a Sky Class Suite guest, you’ll have special access to an exclusive concierge who will remain at your service throughout your time with us to assist you with priority reservations and theater seats, securing access to the private suite Sun Deck and any other requests that may arise.

Sea Class

Pamper yourself with luxury bathroom amenities by Hermès, Ferragamo and L’Occitane. Let the ocean gently lull you into the slumber of a lifetime on your luxury pillowtop mattress. And enjoy exclusive dinner access and breathtaking views through floor-to-ceiling windows in the Coastal Kitchen resturant.

Speaking of the Royal Genie, this is something brand new to Royal Caribbean, where Star Class guests can enjoy the round-the-clock services of an exclusive Royal Genie personal assistant.

The Royal Genie offers services such as

• Trained and certified by the British Butler Institute
• Escort aboard and have bags delivered directly to stateroom

FlowRider

What is better than a FlowRider? How about two FlowRiders!

On Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas, guests will have the opportunity to experience what has become a fan-favorite activity: the surf simulator known as the FlowRider.

Onboard Harmony of the Seas, you will find two FlowRider surf simulators on the aft of the ship, where you can try your hand at stand-up surfing or boogie boarding.

The FlowRider has become an incredibly popular activity on Royal Caribbean ships, both to experience as a participant or as a spectator.

There will also be stadium seating available to enjoy watching others (talented or not) give it their best effort on the FlowRider.

The FlowRider is a complimentary activity, where you simply need to line up and wait your turn to ride.  In addition, Royal Caribbean offers private and group lessons for a nominal fee, if you feel the need to learn quicker.

Columbus, The Musical!

Royal Caribbean has built a reputation in the cruise industry for offering some of the best onboard entertainment, and that reputation is sure to rise with its brand new original show coming to Harmony of the Seas.  The musical was created in the spirit of “Spamalot” and “Something Rotten."

Columbus, The Musical! is a new Royal Caribbean original production that tells the tale of Christopher’s luckless distant cousin, Marvin, on a madcap voyage to the Caribbean.

Marvin Columbus is the very, very, very, very, very distant relative of Christopher and spent his entire life ‘neath Chris’ shadow. Marvin’s disappointed nobleman father, sends him on a voyage to find his destiny. Storms, pirates, and even flying sharks – all lead Marvin to his greatest discovery; himself. Romance, adventure, and ‘happy ever after’ are on the map, as Marvin Columbus finally finds his destiny.

A breathtaking and revolutionary set design, transporting the audience across the Atlantic to the Caribbean, will awe the entire family and adults will thoroughly enjoy the smart, nuanced humor.

Coastal Kitchen

Suite and guests and Pinnacle members can take advantage of a restaurant just for them aboard Harmony of the Seas, Coastal Kitchen.

Coastal Kitchen is a relatively new restaurant concept for Royal Caribbean, centered around the the idea of combining Mediterranean influences with California fresh food.

Royal Caribbean designed the restaurant to be all about fresh food. From Pacific Coast favorites like sea bass ceviche, to the Central Valley’s sliced avocado and homemade blueberry pie, to Med-inspired tastes like Serrano ham, whipped goat cheese and roasted grapes.

With seating for 135, simple décor, earth tones, wood accents and a vibrant, sunny ambiance, Coastal Kitchen is both casual and elegant, and brings a relaxed Californian feel to the Harmony of the Seas.

Coastal Kitchen will feature gourmet California-Mediterranean fare that are healthy and made with the freshest ingredients.

Of course, California is also known for its wines and at Coastal Kitchen you will find an extensive selection of vintages await by the glass or bottle from Napa as well as Tuscany.

Coastal Kitchen is a complimentary restaurant available to guests in Sea Class or Junior Suites. It will be included in your cruise fare and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Bionic Bar at South Beach Wine & Food Festival

Royal Caribbean’s Bionic Bar was on display at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival last week.

Makr Shakr, the company that built the Bionic Bar, showed off their creation that is coming to Harmony of the Seas during the opening night of the festaival.

The robot bartenders did not miss a beat while mixing and shaking cocktails to the rhythm of the music, becoming a hot spot for selfie-snapping. 

The Bionic Bar will be featured on the world's newest and largest ship,Harmony of the Seas when she sets sail from Fort Lauderdale, FL in November 2016.

Voom

Royal Caribbean has revolutionized the cruise industry with its super-fast high speed internet that has become available on select Royal Caribbean ships and Harmony of the Seas will be recieving it as well.

Royal Caribbean calls its fast internet service, Voom, and it offers guests the kind of high speed connections that expect to find back at home.

Royal Caribbean teamed up with O3b Satellite Communications to launch a new generation of medium-Earth-orbit satellites with sophisticated antenna arrays aboard the cruise ships.

The higher internet speeds will make it feasible for a guest to download streaming video or post video clips to Facebook. Royal Caribbean is developing new pricing plans for added service.

Harmony of the Seas lets you share your adventure in real time through Facebook and Instagram, post videos on YouTube, tweet about your shore excursion, and have face-to-face conversations via Skype and FaceTime. Plus, you can even stream movies, games and apps via your personal accounts with Hulu, Netflix, Amazon and more.

If you need to do business while on Harmony of the Seas, the Voom connection will let you check email, transfer files, host video conferences, Skype and more, just as if you were on land.

Harmony of the Seas Infographic

Dancing with the Stars fan favorite Carlos PenaVega will be onboard Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas to host celebratory activities when the ship launches in May 2016.

Grease is the headline show onboard Harmony of the Seas and the all-new, never-before-seen stage production, specially adapted by Royal Caribbean Productions, will boast a soundtrack of crowd favorites such as “Summer Nights,” “Greased Lightnin’,” “Look at Me, I’m Sandra Dee,” “Born to Hand-Jive,” “Beauty School Dropout” and more.

As part of PenaVega’s partnership with Royal Caribbean he’ll lead a number of Grease-inspired special activities onboard Harmony of the Seasduring inaugural events in Southampton, England. These include teaching guests the hand jive, presiding over a dance competition, giving an exclusive performance of “Greased Lightnin’,” and more.

Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas is getting closer and closer to launching and we are counting down the days until she is here with a new blog post every day about this new ship.

AquaTheater Shows

Harmony of the Seas will offer two shows in the AquaTheater, the distinct high diving, acrobatic performance space introduced by Royal Caribbean with the Oasis class of ships, that feature two 10-meter high platforms and the hydraulic-floored pool, the largest and deepest freshwater pool at sea, below will serve as podiums for high-diving, hair-raising aerobatics that AquaTheater audiences have come to love.

Both of these AquaTheater shows are brand new to Royal Caribbean and will follow in the tradition of offering some really fun and tantalizing entertainment.

The Fine Line

A journey from extreme to extraordinary, The Fine Line is the AquaTheater redefined with high-flying feats, mind blowing stunts and physically demanding acrobatics brought to life by the world’s best extreme-sport athletes. Designed as a 360° immersive entertainment show, revelers will be wishing for eyes in the back of their head to take in all the action happening around them.

Hideaway Heist

A dive into hilarious escapades, guests will steal some laughs and experience amazing wows with Royal Caribbean’s new comedy dive show, Hideaway Heist.

This action packed comedy aqua show jumps into the world of a swanky 1950’s holiday resort where guys ‘n’ dolls take the audience on a frolicking escapade in, on and around the pool as an undercover detective, playing the part of a high-rolling vacationer, pursues a crafty burglar. Guests can expect plenty of family-friendly fun and awe-inspiring performance tricks as the staff of the Hideaway Resort solve the crime of a century.

We're counting down the days until Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas debuts, with our 99 days of Harmony countdown.  Each day we will post something about this amazing new ship.

Virtual balcony staterooms

Cruisers love balconies on their Royal Caribbean cruise for the fantastic views but sometimes the price is just a little too high.  Royal Caribbean came up with a way to bring the balcony experience to inside staterooms for a fraction of the cost of a real balcony stateroom.

Virtual balcony staterooms are inside staterooms with an 80-inch high definition LED screen attached to a wall that delivers views outside of the ship, just like a real balcony stateroom.

The screen stretches from floor to ceiling and will show you exactly what you would see if you had a real balcony.  Using high definition cameras, these virtual balconies give you a glimpse of what's outside.

Guests can turn the virtual balcony off at any time, especially at night when sleeping but it's available anytime they want.

There's even natual sounds that are piped into your stateroom to provide as authentic an experience as possible.
