AquaTheatre on the Boardwalk
A story about the Boardwalk wouldn’t be complete without the AquaTheater: It’s easily one of the most breathtaking parts of the ship. Beyond the hair-raising, high-flying acrobatics featured in cutting-edge performances like HiRO, the space features the largest and deepest pool at sea (perfect for our daredevil high-divers), and open-air movie nights. Pro tip: If you’re looking for some fresh air and alone time, go during non-performance hours for a glorious view of the sea. |
Shopping on the Royal Promenade
Every Harmony Class cruise begins on the Royal Promenade, which bustles with fellow travelers, costumed performers, live musicians and more. Lined with shops, restaurants, and buzzing bars (there’s even a Latin dance club), this high-energy neighborhood doubles as a hub for all your vacation needs. Guest service kiosks placed throughout the space make it easy to view, print or email your travel documents at any point during your getaway. Just keep your camera ready, because confetti drops and parades often break out spontaneously in this neighborhood.

Zip lining and Surf Rider in the Pool and Sports Zone
Harmony of the Seas sounds like it should be a pretty laidback place to enjoy a vacation, and it can be, depending on which of the seven neighborhoods you choose to spend your time in. Royal Caribbean’s newest ship’s Pool and Sport Zone will deliver plenty of thrills and enough adventure to impress your white-knuckle-challenge-conquering friends. If you can hold your phone steady, it will be a great place for an impressive selfie, too.
FlowRider: Waterslides may be a new feature of the adventures guests can find onboard, but the FlowRider surfing simulator has become a signature challenge for travelers. The Pool and Sport Zone has a pair of simulators ready for experienced surfers, students of the art and just those who are up for the challenge and not embarrassed to wipe out in front of their family and friends.
Zip lines: For a change of pace that still gives you the endorphin shot that comes with climbing to great heights, try out another Royal Caribbean staple – the zip line. You will zoom across the ship nine decks above the Boardwalk neighborhood. That might seem like a piece of cake after taking the 10-story plunge through The Ultimate Abyss.

- Atlantis has many themed parties where guests get dressed up for the occasion (or should I say dressed down). Creativity and scantily clad outfits are the norm at these events. The themes are typically not announced until a few weeks before embarkation which leaves little time to plan. There are a few recurring themes that you can plan for now: White Party, Military T-Dance, and Disco T-Dance.
- It's common for guests to decorate their cabin door with pictures of themselves. They also include magnetic dry erase sheets so that friends and passersby alike can leave messages for them. Don't forget to leave some magnetic markers. The doors are metal so magnets are perfect for decorating your door.
- In years past guests would bring walkie talkie's to communicate with each other as there is no cell reception at sea. Now Royal Caribbean has an app where you can message your friends. Post it notes are a great back-up plan if the messaging app is down. Post your notes on your friends cabins to let them know where to find you.
- Consider bringing an arm band phone holder or water proof phone pouch if plan on wearing speedos most of the time.
