wow! impressive

Harmony of the Seas has 2,747 staterooms, with a wide variety of types, to accommodate (at double occupancy) 5,479 guests ranging from small interior rooms through larger rooms to suites, some of which are fitted with wall-mounted 80-inch (200 cm) screens, covering nearly the floor to ceiling, that show the ship's environment as if through a window, named 'virtual balconies'.

These screens were first fitted on the Quantum class of cruise ships.

A full 43 categories of stateroom types are offered, starting at a size of 180 square feet (17 m2); several types of suites are available, including the new "Royal Class" suites.


Amenities.


As the third member of the Oasis class, Harmony of the Seas is very similar to her two sister ships.

However, there are some design changes and extra amenities, most noticeably the "Ultimate Abyss" dry slide at the stern of the ship and the "Perfect Storm" water slides.

Harmony is the second Royal Caribbean ship to feature water slides, after Liberty of the Seas underwent a refurbishment in January 2016 that added water slides and Splash away Bay.

The ship is divided into seven neighborhoods, including Central Park and Boardwalk, like its Oasis-class sisters.

Amenities include:

"Vitality" Spa and fitness center.

"Splashaway Bay" water play area for young children.

"Perfect Storm" water slide complex, featuring three slides.

"Ultimate Abyss" dry slide complex, with two ten-story tall enclosed slides.

4 swimming pools and 10 hot tubs, including two hot tubs cantilevered over the edge of the ship.

2 Flowrider surf simulators.

"Casino Royale" casino with a full selection of slot machines and table games.

"Puzzle Break: Escape the Rubicon" escape room game designed by Seattle-based Puzzle Break and ShowFX.

20 dining venues, including "Wonderland" molecular gastronomy restaurant.

11,252 works of art.

Studio B Ice Rink.

The Aqua Theatre, an open-air stage which hosts diving, aerial and acrobatics shows.

The Bionic Bar, where drinks are made solely by two robotic arms.

The Royal Theatre, a 1,400 seat venue for Broadway-style shows such as Grease, Royal Caribbean's original show Columbus, and 3D movies.

Dream Works Experience, with characters from Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, etc.

Two rock climbing walls.

Full-size basketball court, miniature golf course and ping pong tables.

Zip line.

Adventure Ocean programs for children and youth; also Royal Babies and Royal Tots programs.

"Voom" high-speed Internet Facility.

Optional RFID enabled wristbands (WOWbands) which will provide the same functions as the Sea Pass cards.

Promenade shopping mall featuring jewelry, fashion and accessories.

Rising Tides Bar, a bar platform that raises and lowers three floors between the Promenade level and the Central Park level.

Carousel, Johnny Rockets, Starbucks, snacks and entertainment on the Boardwalk area.

Central Park, an open air garden path with food and shops.

The ship was helped out of the port by several tugs which had to turn the huge vessel and guide it out to the open sea.

Even when it was miles away from western France the 210 feet tall ship, with capacity for 6,000 passengers, could still be seen from the shore line as thousands of people gathered to see it on the water for the first time.

The Bionic Bar, where drinks are made and served solely by two robotic arms.

For months, tourists have been allowed aboard to wonder at the luxury interiors of the ship that has 18 decks and stretches to 1,187 feet.

World's largesr ship comparison.

There are also two FlowRiders with simulated waves for surfing and two rock-climbing walls.

There is ice-skating in the indoor rink, where you can hurtle round or cut a figure of eight.

The ship features a state-of-the-art theatre with an award-winning Broadway-style productions and aerial acts.

The ship features The Ultimate Abyss which flings thrill-seekers down 10 decks, at more than 150 feet above the waves, in one of a pair of tunnel slides which include scary noises and glimpses of the synchronised swimming and acrobatic diving in the AquaTheater.

RMS Titanic comes to mind

It took 2,500 workers at STX France a total of some 10 million work-hours to complete the enormous vessel after work began in September 2013.

The ship has its own high streets, and a "Central Park" deck featuring 12,000 plant species.

Harmony has 2,747 cabins in a wide array of configurations.
