More than 2,700 staterooms are sprawled over 16 stories for occupancy by more than 5,400 guests. Add 2,100 staffers, and the citylike ship still hasn't reached its maximum occupant capacity.
Harmony of the Seas tips the scale at 227,000 tons. The price tag to put this megaship together? More than $1 billion over the course of three years.
Harmony of the Seas will outdo its two closest competitors, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, by more than 1,700 tons and nearly 100 passengers.
The cruise ship is expected to arrive at its Fort Lauderdale, Florida, port in November.

Holly Willoughby 'upset' during abortion discussion TV presenter Holly Willoughby was visibly upset during a debate about abortion on This Morning. The mother-of-three put her hands over her mouth and said “my god” during a discussion about how late terminations are carried out and what happens to the foetus.

The guava tree at my great grand-parent’s house in Bangalore drove me crazy. As the tree bore fruit, the strong-sweet smell around the house was intoxicating and all I ever wanted to do was climb the tree to grab one of the green-yellow fruit. The only catch was that after just a few bites I’d get this unexplainable stomach ache that drove me nuts for the rest of the day. That didn't deter me. Instead it was like I was addicted to the fruit. I loved the creamy flesh and only a ripe guava would have that bite from the seeds.
