Royal Caribbean International’s Harmony of the Seas sports extravaganza

The RCI team counted out 900 ball pit balls, 192 golf balls, 144 badminton shuttlecocks, 80 ping pong balls, 31 surf boards, 30 basketballs, 16 ice hockey sticks, 16 pool cues, 144 pool balls and eight table tennis tables.

That’s just under half of the sports equipment needed on board RCI’s Harmony of the Seas, which arrives in the UK in May 2016.

Passengers will be able to take part in 30 different sports and games activities onboard, from ice skating and surfing to blongoball – a combination of croquet, horseshoes and bocce (Italian bowls).
