LOOKS like there’s going to
be lots of action aboard Royal
Caribbean’s new Harmony of
the Seas, with the ship carrying
almost 3,500 items of sporting
equipment.
The cruise line demonstrated
the scale of its shipboard
activities in a promotional stunt
on Britain’s famous Brighton
Beach (below), laying out about
half of the sports inventory.
A team of 20 staff spent seven
hours painstakingly creating
the display which included 192
golf balls, 30 basketballs, 31
surfboards, 16 ice hockey sticks,
144 pool balls, eight table tennis
tables, 900 “ball pit” balls and
144 badminton shuttlecocks.
That’s not to mention other
activities such as ziplining
and the exciting new sport of
“Blongoball”.
