Celebrity visitor on-board Harmony of the Seas

Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas cruise ship has had a very special visitor – none other than pop sensation Gary Barlow!

The cruise ship was home to Gary and screenwriter, Tim Firth, for a seven-day stay while they carried out research for a new musical. This comes just weeks after the launch of the ‘The Band’ musical, featuring the music of Take That, which launched in September this year.

Just back from 7 days at sea on this beauty. Tim Firth and I were doing research for a new musical we’re writing estimated to be on stage by 2021. Thank you to @royalcaribbean for all they’re help and support. We got to see how the whole ship runs 🚢 making music at sea is new one for me ! Wow ! 😎😎😎😎

The itinerary departed on the 30^th September, featuring visits to Florida, Hispaniola, Jamaica and Mexico – each of which are inspiring locations to stir musical creativity.
