We are booked on deck 9 midship ocean view balcony. I asked our TA for a quiet spot and he said we are above the shops but facing out so noise should be minimal. Our room is 9184 if you want to look at the deck plan.

We will be on the 2nd half with you!

We will be on harmony in Feb so interested in following along! Curious when the shows are in the evening. We have MTD and I made reservations, but hoping the timing works out with the show times. Otherwise just want to see what you think of the ship. Do you have any excursions planned?

I was able to book MTD reservations thru the app this week for my cruise in Feb.

I made reservations in the app for 7:45 each evening (that was earliest I could get except one night at 6:30). We plan to go sooner than that to see if we can get seated closer to 7. I have no idea if it’ll work though!

Woohoo! I see her! We are going on her in Feb and this is making me excited! 😎

Sometimes the app can be glitchy. I switched cruises and the old one was still snowing under my reservations. I had to delete the app and re download it on my phone and then it showed correctly. You could try that.

Are the issues with MTD the same across all ships? We’ll be on Harmony in Feb and we picked MTD because we don’t want to eat dinner at either of the scheduled dining times. We’d be fine with 6:45 but now I’m concerned how long the line will be on a much larger ship. We did book Jamie's for dinner one night but otherwise planned to eat in the MDR the other nights. Our 11 yr old won’t be able to wait an hour just to be seated. If we reserve a dining time on the app will that cut down on the time we have to wait?

I’m on this cruise also and we booked dinner at Jamie’s on day 2 😃

No, unfortunately I was not there yesterday. Although I really wish I was! I’ve been there previously on another cruise and we chartered a private boat similar to the one you were on with several other couples. Best day ever!

Glad you enjoyed Jost and soggy dollar as much as we did!! Those painkillers will never be as good anywhere else but on that beach 😎

Has anyone eaten at Jamie’s before? We will be on Harmony in Feb and considering booking a dinner one night at the reduced price. Just wondering if it’s worth the up charge from eating in the MDR.

I’ve stayed on Aruba twice (not as part of a cruise). We did a jeep tour one time that took us to the lighthouse and the other side of the island that was pretty cool. Then we ate lunch at a local spot and ended at a beach. It was a pretty fun day. There were some cruise passengers on our tour and they dropped them off at the port when we were done. If you want to see the entire island, I recommend a tour like that. Otherwise, for a beach day definitely hit Eagle beach.

I did a very similar boat charter from St Thomas over to the BVIs and Jost van dyke back in 2017. Still the best excursion I have ever done and I need to get back there again! I managed to get some plastic cups from the soggy dollar back home but unfortunately they aren’t very durable and they cracked eventually. Just means I need to go back! Enjoy 😎

I’m curious as well as I’m looking at an 11:45am flight home that’s significantly cheaper than the afternoon flights.
