Not only is the ship incredible, but the staff go out of their way to make sure you are having a good time! Once we got to the terminal, things seemed a little hectic but moved relatively quickly and before we knew it, we were onboard. Keep in mind that there are over six thousand passengers that need to board, which would explain why it seemed a little hectic. After boarding, however, we were off to our rooms to drop off our bags and started a fantastic vacation. We did splurge for the Deluxe Drink Package so it was nice to grab a drink whenever we wanted to and not have to worry about it. Our cabin attendant provided excellent service and even had ice in our room each evening after only asking about it once. Our main dinning room waiter and his assistant were also amazing! One of my family members is gluten free so our waiter would make sure we had gluten free bread and would even take the order for the next evening so that it would be ready for us when we arrived in the dinning room. There are gluten free options everywhere on the ship, however, from the Windjammer to the Park Cafe' to Chops Grille, so if you are gluten free, you will have many options to choose from. Overall, the experience was amazing...so much so that we're already booked on the Symphony of the Seas in November 2018!!
The cabin was fine for us because we don't spend a whole lot of time there. This is a connecting room and we were traveling with those that were staying in the next cabin so it was nice to be able to move between rooms. It was also very quiet in the cabin which made for a very pleasant stay!
Wish we would have taken an excursion! When we got off of the ship and to the end of the pier, there were so many locals 'barking' at us for taxi ride, tours, etc., that it was quite uncomfortable.
