Harmony Keel Blocks are in the House... well they're outside actually!

Did you speculate that the anchor logo came from Monarch. :what:

[Lloyd555]

Is that an opening in the deck railing....maybe an opening for a slide entrance? ...or is it an illusion created by the camera angle? ;)

 

See attachment with arrow indicating possible opening. (Pure speculation, of course)

 

There is glass there. I assume that they'll be removing more than a glass panel to install the Abyss. :)

Another theory bites the dust :D

Nice day to build a ship! I found this pic posted on Facebook. Thought it would look good here as well.

 

The blue really stands out here.

You know a ship introduction is getting closer when they have the first wave of revenue upgrades.

 

I have several cabins booked on the Harmony June 7th Barcelona 5 day sailing. One of these was a new single inside cabin SI. They have upgraded that cabin today to a Category J, Interior stateroom with Virtual Balcony.

 

This is a 172 sq. ft. cabin versus a 103 sq. ft. cabin. Current fare $500 over fare paid. I am a D C&A member, but feel this was done for revenue purposes as the more expensive J category tends to sell out last.

 

Always nice to have the first upgrade 312 days prior to sailing and 321 days prior to the ship's maiden voyage.

 

Forgive me for asking a non-Harmony build related question but... I'm still pretty new to cruising so I've never received an upgrade, but how do you find out about them? Do they call or email you to tell you? Or do you just see it when you log in to check your reservation? Thanks :)

The two times we have received an upgrade, we were not called. We just noticed when we checked our reservation.

:eek::eek: veeeeeery interesting! Looks pretty amazing, but I hope they have the "vertical start" feature where the bottom just drops out from under you!

I like it

If it ends up there, it has to be a regular slide, and not a water slide. Unless they are making Sabor into a swim up bar, and putting a landing pool there.:)

Easy peasy, I think the bar got moved all ready. Water sources at top via Flowrider. Probably need to keep slide water out of aqua pool, but can probably use their source to keep things moving

The Sabor Bar has been moved closer to Sabor Restaurant on Harmony, so there is room for landing area down the middle of the boardwalk.

Hopefully the enclosed tubes will sufficiently dampen the SCREAMS which will be occurring virtually nonstop!

It still doesn't address how the sliders will get back up to the top.

See through Plexiglass would be nice. Similar to Disney's lazy river tube, but with more interesting facial expressions.

I have the setting set for automatic upgrades.

 

I did not have any communication in the process. I just get an email from 'Documentation' with title 'Notification of change for Reservation ID # / Name "

 

When I looked at the new confirmation, the only change I could find was a move in cabin number and the information was just changed on the booking with no reference to the previous cabin prior to the 'upgrade'

 

I do find 'revenue' upgrades of interest in relation to the 'build' simply through the fact of how early they are starting to 'manage' the inventory for Harmony.

 

I had the same situation with upgrades on Quantum, but they did not start upgrading until just 150 days out and not this incredible 300 days out from maiden voyage.

Do you really need to ride it multiple times in a row:what:

I won't, but I'm sure some of our, ahem, younger cruisers will want to.

 

Maybe it will be like iFly. You make an appointment to ride once. :D

If you look at the rendering it looks like there are 2 slides. I said in a different thread maybe one is the "up" just like they do at a bank's drive thru. Suck you right back to the top. :p

 

All jokes aside, a swim up bar would be phenomenal!

Harmony of the Seas

 

 

 

 

 

 

... and Oasis 4

 

[Bild Em Bigger]

Oasis 4 or the MSC ship being constructed between Harmony and Oasis 4?

[Bild Em Bigger]

Found this rendering online, but is it official?

 

 

 

 

 

I have noticed that Harmony does not have its name up on rear section of the flowrider deck like Oasis & Allure do. Is this because the slide will be obstructing this?

[Lloyd555]

Oasis 4 or the MSC ship being constructed between Harmony and Oasis 4?

 

I was told it is Oasis 4. Keel to be laid in the new year.

I guess this will really affect the aft views of the B1 and B2 cabins.

[Lloyd555]

Hmmm. The same image is posted on the official Norwegian Royal Caribbean webpage. Scroll down on page to see it. Thanks to Ted Patrick on Facebook for sharing that info.

 

My co-worker asks: So did they have it on the site before it was found on Instagram today, or did they just post it after seeing the image posted on social media?
