Continent.

Imagine that you are going on a free cruise on the largest ship in the world. Inside is a whole metropolis of entertainment and services, and everything is free. Fiction? Yes. But one day, when the parade of planets takes place, the company launches a new ship, this fairy tale becomes a reality. Tour operators, the media and everyone who will subsequently sell tickets to this liner are invited to the first flight.

Harmony of the Seas is by far the largest cruise ship for 8200 people, of which 2200 crew members. The height of the ship is comparable to the height of a 20-storey building. The length is 362 meters, which exceeds the length of Red Square in Moscow. The construction of the liner cost Royal Caribbean more than 1,000,000,000 euros.

But the most impressive thing is not measurements, but the filling of the liner - a helipad, swimming pools, water slides, a casino, a theater, an ice rink, a garden with 12 thousand different plants and much, much more. There is even a Bionic bar on board, where robots work as waiters. Let's see what it looks like inside...

General plans of the liner. This is really a huge thing, a giant Noah's Ark with a displacement of 227,500 tons:

3.

4.

We left the port of Barcelona. We were escorted by two fire ships: in honor of the first voyage, they staged a “salute” of water cannons:

5.

The first place you go on a cruise is, of course, the cabin. I will not give the footage, I will only mention that in my cabin there was a separate dressing room:


General areas of the liner. On the right in the photo is a giant head sculpture that rotates in layers in different directions:

7.

There are pedestrian streets on board. A complete feeling that it was not a ship that went into the sea, but a piece of the mainland. There are a lot of people. After a series of accidents on cruises, Royal Caribbean installed an advanced facial recognition system that can, if necessary, identify each passenger in the crowd:

8.

Many sculptures and works of modern art:

9.

Let's go up to the upper decks. There are two types of decks - indoor, comfortable in windy weather, and outdoor:

10.

There are 16 decks on board. 6 main pools and 10 giant jacuzzis:


The upper deck is replete with public areas:

12.

Lots of loungers. Pay attention to the slides behind the pool:

13.

On the other side of the golf course:

14.

Waves for boarding:

15.

Rope crossing at the level of seven floors:


At the stern of the ship is a huge aquatic theater. Two pipes lead down from the upper deck, through which you can go down in clothes. Feels very fast, very scary and very dark. You overcome almost 30 meters of height in 13 seconds, making two 360-degree turns along the way:

17.

To the right of the water theater is a pedestrian area called Central Park:

18.

19.

Naturally, there is a gym, and it is gigantic. Many simulators and shells:

20.


There are 20 restaurants on board the Harmony of the Seas. The main one occupies three floors, it is there that daily dinners are held:

22.

And this is the same Bionic bar where robots work. There are 30 alcohol components in the arsenal of mechanical hands. The range of cocktails they can make is endless. One cocktail takes 30 seconds. Looks fantastic:

23.

Another memorable restaurant is called "Wonderland" and is based on the famous work of Lewis Carroll:

24.

Hall decoration:

25.

26.

Instead of a menu, they bring an empty picture that needs to be painted with water. After these manipulations, words appear. It would seem a trifle, but leaves an indelible impression:

27.

Molecular cuisine restaurant. The dish is called "Garden", and the "earth" is made of bread with the addition of cuttlefish ink:

28.

Balloon dessert topped with hot chocolate. After a minute, the ball melts, revealing the ice cream inside. Very tasty:

29.

Every week, 4,500 kg of chicken and almost 7,000 kg of beef are consumed in the liner's restaurants. In total, there are 4,900 seats on board in restaurants and bars. The assortment of desserts again confused me:

30.

There are dozens of shops in Central Park for every budget:

31.

You won't be bored in the evening. Rather, on the contrary, you will need to run from one view to another:

32.

In the theater - a Broadway production of "Grease". The film of the same name, based on this musical, made Travolta a star already in 1978:

33.

Ice show. Just pay attention to the quality of the costumes that were prepared for the performance.
