Three Royal Caribbean ships will get upgrades in 2026
Changes are in store for Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas and Liberty of the Seas next year, including new accommodations, entertainment and dining.
Royal Caribbean will refresh the pool decks on all three ships, with the Ovation and Liberty getting new private casitas. Ovation will also get a new whirlpool while Harmony and Liberty will get a new bar, The Lime and Coconut. Harmony's solarium will also get a refresh.
Entertainment changes on Ovation include a new venue for dancing, Sound Cellar, and an expansion of the Casino Royale. Harmony's Casino Royale will be expanded and become the largest in the Royal Caribbean fleet.
The cruise line is also adding an escape room on the Liberty of the Seas.
Harmony and Ovation are both getting new accommodations options, one of which will be the Ultimate Family Suite, a two-story space with a slide and other family-focused amenities which is currently only offered on Symphony of the Seas, Spectrum of the Seas and Wonder of the Seas. Panoramic suites with floor-to-ceiling windows will be added to the Ovation.
For dining, the cruise line is introducing food and bar options found on newer ships to these three vessels.
The tiki bar Pesky Parrot and Giovanni's Italian Kitchen are coming to Ovation of the Seas. Harmony of the Seas will gain the Playmakers Sports Bar and Arcade, Mexican restaurant El Loco Fresh and Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse. Izumi Teppanyaki as well as El Loco Fresh will be added to Liberty of the Seas.
