Cruise Buzz: Friday Dance Party and more

Buzzing … Roundup of Cruise Buzz

Weekly recap about cruise news, reviews, and insight from the wonderful world of cruising. This week: Harmony of the Seas.

Can’t touch this…

Our cruise-spiration (think inspiration but cruise inspiration) today comes from @CruiseJess who posted this great dance video on Facebook.

I like the video for many reasons: it’s quirky, funny and best of all, it reminds me of the time that I was on Princess Cruises. One night before calling on Vladivostok, Russia  I participated in a dance-off in the disco. My signature move “the splits” won me top honors in my personal competition but delivered me a torn hamstring. The rest of the trip I would be among the walking wounded, but it was totally worth it. And just in case you are wondering, I have not attempted the splits again.

CNN did a nice recap of what it’s like on board the world’s biggest cruise ship. Check out the full article about Royal Caribbean’s newest ship, Harmony of the Seas, which made her debut Friday on its pre-inaugural sailing out of Southampton, England.

At 227,000 gross registered tons with a passenger capacity of 5,497 guests at double occupancy (it fits 6,780 guests total) and 2,100 crew members, one might say “can’t touch this!” -Harmony is now the world’s largest cruise ship.
