Royal Caribbean International's new Harmony of the Seas, what will be the largest cruise ship in the world, will soon launch in May 2016 with the Ultimate Abyss, the tallest ever slide at sea. Now as the ship readies for the attraction's final installation, the cruise line has released a new behind-the-scenes video showcasing the thrill slide's unique engineering and manufacturing.
You can watch the video, complete with a virtual ride through, embedded below and hosted at my Popular Cruising YouTube channel.
