  1. Why can’t Canadians participate in the contest to win the free cruise for 4 persons? We are diamond members and love to cruise with Royal…we are sailing for our 50th wedding anniversary on May 30th to Norway. Also what is the tonnage of the Harmony?

  2. We are cruising on The Harmony in December 2016 and can’t wait. I love Royal Caribbean cruises. So many things to do and see.
