MIAMI, Nov. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for
the holidays, Royal Caribbean International's newest and most
adventurous ship yet, Harmony of the Seas, arrived in the
U.S. to great fanfare and is now sailing on her first 7-night
cruise to the Eastern Caribbean. In celebration of these two
occasions coming together, the cruise line sailed into the season
in an unexpected fashion by hosting the Ultimate Friendsgiving on
board its brand new ship. After all, where better to celebrate a
holiday all about friendship than on board a ship named
Harmony?
Friendsgiving is a spin-off of America's time-honored
Thanksgiving, only it's celebrated
with your friends and without all the formalities. The
millennial-focused trend was taken to the ultimate level on board
the world's largest and most adventure-packed cruise ship, during
an exclusive VIP cruise complete with custom Friendsgiving menus,
cocktails and entertainment. Guests were treated to a Friendsgiving
feast crafted by Royal Caribbean's expert culinary team that
included an array of menu items with a seasonal twist, such as
pumpkin soup with crispy pancetta, turkey empanadas, crispy chicken
with fresh cranberry sauce, sweet potato fries, and of course a
variety of desserts including old fashion pecan pie with salted
caramel sauce. The celebration was topped off with a signature
cocktail, dubbed the Amiga Margarita, and a toast by
multi-platinum-selling band DNCE, who headlined Harmony's
Ultimate Friendsgiving with a an exclusive live performance in the
ship's AquaTheater, an open-air amphitheater overlooking the ocean.
