Miami to the Western Caribbean Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas Cruise Reviews

I chose this cruise because my experience with the Symphony in the past was great. After a long wait post Covid decided to take another. However, this recent experience was very disappointing. The my time dining completely change from the prior booking experiences without prior notice to me. The food selections in the windjammer was very poor. The entertainment and option to book in advance was ...

Cruise was not as good as those I have taken on the other big Rcc ships. The quality o the dining and the failure of the cruise director made tht\ this cruise less than enjoyable. One big failure was to have blind disco dancing with not enough head sets for all who wanted to participate. Also there were many activities but so many of them were only 30 minutes. . the only outstanding ...

DAY 1: Embarkation Day We had a 10:30-11:00 check-in time. We were on-board before 11:00. Getting on-board early isn’t as smart as I thought it would be. The Windjammer hadn’t opened yet nor had the eMuster Stations. When the Windjammer finally opened up we discovered that I was still the worst buffet at sea. Too small and too few selections. By 1pm we had completed or eMuster Drill ...

Having just returned from a cruise on Symphony of the Seas I wanted to write an honest review of this ship. We have cruised on both Royal and Celebrity in the past and have seen a big difference in the past few years. The main difference recently is in the Main dining room for evening meals. The menu always had choices on the day but also had "classics" which were available every day if you ...

We did a seven-night western Caribbean sailing in November 2022 to Costa Maya, Cozumel, Roatan, and Coco Cay. Nearly everything was perfect. It was a clean, beautiful humongous ship. The food was great, we enjoyed the Main Dinning room a lot, and Sorrentos pizza and El Loco Fresh were really good. The five main shows were awesome, Hairspray, Flight, Hiro, and the two ice shows, are all must-sees. ...

it was my wife's first cruise at 57 and we needed to travel from Florida with specific dates due to her very demanding job... good past experiences with RC and big ship opportunity made symphony of the seas an obvious and accurate choice. I wanted her to have the best vacation possible, so I booked a suite with the ultimate drink package, the key program, and a night in Miami just before the ...

I am not the kind to write reviews, but after my experience on this ship, I feel it necessary to inform other consumers. We booked this trip and several months later, Royal offered me a marketing proposal to upgrade my room to a VIP suite for TWO people, and I was staying in the room alone. I did not challenge this because these were the rules, so I paid for the double fee required for the ...

This is my 8th cruise. First time on the Symphony. The bad first - The schooner lounge / Pianist was single handedly the most dissapointing aspect of any cruise I’ve ever been on. It was like an 80 year old man who literally followed an IDENTICAL script every single night. Un-changing, no request folder or bucket, no interaction, boring/monotone and like I said, same exact never-heard before songs ...

Background- this was about our 15th cruise on Royal and we are diamond level. It was a husband, wife and 21 yr old daughter cruise. There were lots of disappointments as well as some good times. We are not snobs but we paid a lot of money for this cruise and it wasn't all what we remembered cruising to be like. Overall, any cruise is a good cruise and you have to roll with the punches which we ...

First we love Royal and we have sailed many other cruise lines. To level set, we booked a two-story crown loft suite on the 17th floor, it comes with a double story family room and the bedroom is upstairs. The best part of the room is two full bathrooms, one downstairs with a standing shower and the second upstairs with a bathtub shower combo. Because the room is tall but not wide, the deck is ...
