Did you know that Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas is going to launch in less than 99 days? To celebrate, each day we are posting something new about this ship for you to enjoy!

Wonderland in London

Royal Caribbean UK launched a one-night only experience, where one of the premier restaurants onboard Harmony of the Seas was available for Londoners to sample.

Ahead of the May launch of Harmony of the Seas, Royal Caribbean hosted an evenin in Covent Garden that they called  "The dry run."

Guests were served an eight-course menu including crispy crab cones, Berkshire pork belly, halibut cooked in clear paper, and buffalo chicken eggs.

Royal Caribbean director of culinary operations, Michael Gilligan, talked about the experience, "The Dry Run will be as close to the real thing as possible. The waiting staff will be in their uniform, which is purple and very Liberace. The tables, the cutlery, will be there."

"The food is new and exciting, but I didn’t want the menu to all be Harry Potter food or molecular gastronomy for the sake of it. There is a real element of theatre — but it’s not too avant garde."
