The Harmony of the Seas currently is the biggest cruise ship in the world, at 223,963 gross tons and 5,479 passengers. The ship is sailing from the Mediterranean this summer. Managing editor Rebecca Tobin toured the ship on a two-day preview cruise out of England.

The Central Park neighborhood is an oasis of green within the ship.

The Harmony features a set of upgraded water slides by the main pool deck called the Perfect Storm.

It was a breezy 60 degrees, but at least one passenger braved the chill for a turn in the Perfect Storm.

Passengers lined up for their turn on the Abyss. The entrance to the slides is through the mouth of this sculpture of an anglerfish.

Kid-sized lounge chairs were set up next to the splash park.

The Royal Promenade, a feature Royal Caribbean introduced on its Voyager-class ships, is still going strong.
