The Beauty Of Cruising On Harmony Of The Seas
Brittani Marceno

Have you ever wondered how cruise ships run successfully throughout the many years its on the water? This gigantic ship holds about five thousand guests per week and about two thousand crew members onboard at all times! With a home-port in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this massive ship alternates routes between the Eastern and Western Caribbean islands. Switching between Jamaica, Saint Thomas, Saint Martin, Haiti and Mexico, you can never go wrong with either of these itinerary choices!

Royal Caribbean is the largest cruise line, and they have ships all over the world! It’s a great all-inclusive family vacation idea. I, personally, see this as a great trip option, especially for those traveling with younger children. There are things for everyone to enjoy. From children, teens, young professionals and even the elderly!

They always have games and activities going on! Harmony of the seas has an ice skating rink, nightclubs, over thirty bars and restaurant options and an escape room! Throughout the day there are many activities for all ages, some include: trivia, Mario kart challenges and scavenger hunts. They also have music mania themed games and celebrity night, which includes a video game challenge and a prom disco! These activities are fun for everyone and really helps you meet other kids and teens on board.

For families, the #1 activity is bingo and lets be honest, this is my favorite activity hands down. Also, movies are played out by the pool each evening, which is a great way to kick back and relax after a day in the sun. There is a zip line on the fifth-teenth floor, overlooking the boardwalk, which is ten stories below! Do you dare go on the scariest slide at sea? Only for the brave! The Ultimate Abyss is a ten-story slide with tons of twists, turns and flashing lights! The three waterslides, also known as the perfect storm, are a fun and daring way to keep the Caribbean sun off you. Once you are done on the slides, check out central park, which is a soothing deck full of trees and wilderness and it is a great place to relax. I found it peaceful. Trivia, karaoke, aqua theatre shows and the comedy club are just a few other daily activities that are available to everyone!

For those 21 and older, I highly suggest buying the unlimited drink package. This is a great way to try a few different specialty drinks that the ship offers. There are bloody mary and mimosa bars usually in front of the Scooner bar! Talk about a Sunday funday in full effect! I suggest grabbing a drink from the bionic bar (yes, a complete robotic bar)! Place your order on the electronic pad and watch your drink being made right in front of your eyes! Remember to drink responsibly and enjoy! Non-alcoholic soda packages are available upon request! Water, tea and coffee are offered throughout the day for everyone.

Worried about keeping in touch with your family members while onboard? There’s an app for that! Royal IQ is an app that’s available ($7.95 per person) which allows those onboard to call and text each other throughout the ship. This app also allows those to look up all daily activities and adventures that awaits for the day.

More importantly the delicious food options! There are over 25 restaurants, cafes and bars all throughout the ship. A few that stood out to me were the Wonderland Restaurant, Chops Steakhouse and Izumi’s Hibachi. These specialty restaurants are well worth the price and are fine-dining at its best! Of course, you can’t forget about the main dining room, who is always offering superb five course meals. Those with special dietary restrictions, don’t worry, there are options for everyone! Vegan, gluten free, and vegetarian are just a few meals the chefs can make!

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
