We leave next week, so probably won't be ready for us by then ☺️.  Thats a bummer.  We will have to try to use iMessage I guess.  Thanks for the info!

Is the Royal IQ app or any other chat option available on the Symphony of the Seas?  We've been on the Harmony before and used it often.  I don't see anything confirming it is on the Symphony...but I don't know why it wouldn't be!  Please confirm!!

Thank you all!  My google searches were not successful but you pointed me in the right direction.  He's 45 inches 🤩 so we'll get our slide fix on the Abyss!  He's thrilled. 

Happy Cruising everyone.

We are cruising in March on the Symphony.  My youngest son is a bit small for his age.  Does anyone know what the height requirements are for any of the water slides on the ship?  I recall my older one was tall enough to ride last year.  But I don't know that my younger son is as tall as his older brother was last year.  Numbers would be wonderful!  Thanks in advance!

We have a group traveling together and wanted to be able to open the balcony doors between rooms to enable us to go from room to room via the balcony.

Are all adjacent “neighborhood” (boardwalk/Central Park) balcony rooms able to connect to each other via the little side door on the balcony? Or are there some that cannot be opened? If so, how can I tell on the map what can open and what can not?

Thanks in advance!

Interesting question. I didn't even know this was a possibility!

Anyone know if the balcony dividers can be opened on the HARMONY?

First time RCCL cruiser. We are getting on board credit from our travel agent. I would like to use that to pay for our drink and soda packages (we usually don't spend much on board otherwise). Can we purchase that after we get on the ship? If so, how do we get the soda cups, as I heard they're usually in your room when you arrive.

Also, does anyone know of any restrictions on what you can spend "non-RCCL" on board credit on? Can it be used as a deposit on a future cruise?

Thanks in advance!

Forgot to add.

 

Make sure you sign up to do the Escape Room. Lots of fun and something different. You can find it on your cruise planner under activities.

Is the Escape Room kid friendly? (Ages 4 and 7)?

We are considering a cruise on Harmony OTS in May. We have done 10+ cruises on Disney and are familiar with their kids programs and activities. But have many newbie questions now that we are planning to sail on Harmony.

1. Are they strict on ages in the kids club. We have 4 year old and 7 year old. They would like to play together but I believe I saw one club was ages 3-6, the next was 7-?. Are they flexible on what ages can go in each kids area?

2. What are the height restrictions for the slides on Splashaway Bay? My 4 year old is short for his age (40 inches). I thought I read somewhere 42 inches minimum. That seems crazy because the slide looked very benign and if it is in an area designed for "kids", that height eliminates most preschoolers from using it.

If anyone with past Disney experience has any other tips or differences between DCL and Royal Caribbean they can share (besides the drink packages and characters differences :)) I would love to hear them, especially specific to the KIDS activities.

Thanks in advance!!!!
