Is Harmony of the Seas good for adults?

If you're happy sharing your cruise vacation with 6,779 other passengers (at full capacity), of all ages and with a lot of families, then Harmony of the Seas is about as good as it gets in terms of activities, entertainment and fun at sea -- throw yourself in, and you'll be kept busy all week.



Despite being a massive, family-friendly "mega-ship," Harmony of the Seas is excellent for adults thanks to its distinct "neighborhood" design which naturally separates different crowds. Adults seeking tranquility should head to the Solarium, an ages-16+ glass-domed retreat at the front of the ship with its own pool, whirlpools, and bistro. Central Park is another adult favorite; it is an outdoor area featuring over 12,000 live plants, quiet walking paths, and upscale specialty dining like 150 Central Park and Chops Grille, providing a sophisticated evening atmosphere. The ship also features a dedicated Comedy Club and a vibrant "Entertainment Place" with a Jazz club and a nightclub. While the main pool decks can be noisy with families, the variety of "grown-up" bars like the Schooner Bar and the Bionic Bar (with robotic bartenders) ensures plenty of space for relaxation. For a truly premium adult experience, booking a suite grants access to the exclusive Coastal Kitchen restaurant and the Suite Sun Deck, far removed from the high-energy water slides and children's zones.

When the stabilizers aren't needed, they are retracted into the vessel's side. Older and smaller ships are less likely to have this technology and are much more apt to feel the motion of the ocean. A mega-ship, such as Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas, might just be the best cruise ship to avoid seasickness.

There's a special place, however, for those who commit serious crimes at sea — the ship's jail, or “brig” in nautical terms. These steel rooms are located on one of the bottom decks of the vessel, usually near the security office. And if you end up down there, you won't be staying there for the duration of the cruise.
