Review summary

The Symphony of the Seas is an AMAZING ship. The activities and entertainment is GREAT! My family and I had an AWESOME time. They have everything covered, you could never be bored. The service was over the top EXCELLENT and sealed the deal for us. We experienced one negative and that was having to pay to get clothes ironed, that;s just unacceptable. I also think they need to reevaluate the drink package to include Starbucks. If Royal Caribbean put a little more emphasis on the cruiser, they rating would definitely be 5 stars. Go enjoy, as the ports of calls are EXCITING, so much to do and WE did everything lol. Looking into a 2020 cruise of Greece on a Royal cruise ship. #SymphonyoftheseasROCK

Ship tip

Make sure ALL your clothes are in a garment bag and ironed, because they charge a fee to iron your clothing.

Looks like this was your first cruise...glad you enjoyed it, however ironing has been for a fee for a long time especially on ships that have no laundry for guests. One tip is to get everything done at one time because if you need items pressed the day you need them that is called a rush and that is an extra charge on top of the normal fee.
