Amen, thanks.

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

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

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.

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

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.

World's largesr ship comparison.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

Their children said they were polar opposites, Dolores was quiet and had a love of cooking, while Trent was outgoing and spent his days fishing on the lake.

Dolores stopped breathing at 9.10pm on December 9.

The couple's son Eddie had to lean over and tell Trent that his beloved wife had died.

The 88-year-old blew a kiss to his wife and died just hours later.

'Because she was gone, he just could not handle it. We just watched him die,' their daughter Sheryl told the Washington Post.

Trent and Dolores would have celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary on January 17.

The couple were laid to rest last week with Dolores in a pink casket and Trent in a blue one.

The couple met back in the 1950s in Dickson County, Tennessee and married soon after Trent returned from serving in the Korean War.

A Tennessee couple married for nearly 64 years died just hours apart as they spent their final moments holding hands in their hospital beds.

Dolores Winstead, 83, and husband Trent Winstead, 88, died in Nashville's Saint Thomas West Hospital two weeks ago and five weeks short of their 64th wedding anniversary.

Several days before the couple passed away, a healthy Dolores stood by her husband's hospital bed holding his hand after he was admitted due to his failing kidneys.

Dialysis had started to weaken his heart and he was moved to intensive care as Dolores and their two adult children, Eddie and Sheryl, were forced to watch his condition worsen. But soon after on the night of December 7, Dolores started to complain ofa headache and started throwing up.

The 83-year-old had suffered a severe brain aneurysm as she stood by her husband's bedside.

She was connected to a ventilator as her condition started to deteriorate.

Hospital staff received approval to place the couple in the same room so they could spend their final moments together.

They were pictured lying together holding hands.

Dolores and Trent had been married for almost 64 years and had two children, three grand children and eight great grand children.

Jadeite:
You are doing a very,very great job!! I have gone through every single one of your post! Brilliant!

Smiles.....Thanks sis.

Jadeite:
This is too heartbreaking to read..Don't know why women are maltreated..

Its really sad.

Horlawoomey:
I left Ondo town just yesterday, the ATM thingy can be very annoying and made me dislike staying in the town. Everyday one will be hunting for cash like GUS 11, GTBank appears to be the most consistent bank in the whole town followed by First Bank and UBA, all other banks do not even bother to load their ATM again.

I wonder if the situation is same everywhere.

Getting worse, neighbor left GT last night around 9pm without getting a kobo after staying for like 3hrs.

sinaj:
Lol @ pushing 2k

The annoying thing is that some people will start transferring money with the only atm dispensing cash instead of using the one that isn't dispensing to transfer

I don't stress myself in joining the queue, I just walk to any cute boy, tap him gently nd whisper

Lol.....But sometimes, people on queue will react.

amnesty7:
But how come only the masses are on queue?

It's always like that, some people will just call the bank manager to bring the bags to their homes.

After wasting about 2hrs, i have to go to First Bank Yaba.

These days, Bank staffs load less than 200k in the Atm. After loading, 5 customers will withdraw and the next thing is "Temporarily unable to Dispense".


The Temporary unable to dispense can be so frustrating when you've stayed on the queue for over 2hrs and it's about to get to your turn.

UBA, ACE, Ondo.

6:40am, 23/12/16.

Some people can be so annoying, after using the machine for almost 15 minutes, you see them bringing out another card.

Some are to withdraw 30k, instead of pushing 30k key or 15k twice, they will be pushing 2k and some people will be vexing from behind.

"Wetin u dey do there since na, no withdraw am finish o."
