What to know before you book

Cabin tips

Harmony has an unusually large selection of connecting staterooms, making it ideal for families or groups. If you want a quiet retreat, book a Central Park balcony mid-ship. Virtual Balcony interior rooms (172 sq ft) use HD screens to simulate an ocean view and offer solid value.

Dining

About 20 dining venues include the upscale 150 Central Park, Giovanni's Table for Italian, Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse (added during amplification), and the complimentary Park Cafe for a quick Kummelweck roast beef sandwich.

Entertainment

Nightly shows run in the 1,400-seat Royal Theater, the AquaTheater hosts diving and acrobatic performances, and the Bionic Bar's robot bartenders are worth visiting for the spectacle alone. A jazz club, karaoke bar, and comedy club round out the nightlife.
