Review summary
Fabulous transatlantic crossing. Symphony is a wonderful ship... everything Harmony has plus more. The addition of Playmakers sports bar and arcade made the boardwalk far better. Every aspect of the ship is exciting. The food was far better than on our past couple of cruises and the crew, from Capt Rob on down, was absolutely fantastic. All the shows were good, but "Hairspray" and "Flight" were incredibly good. Our Boardwalk balcony cabin was comfortable and not too small. Privacy is an issue though because you can see into the cabins across the way (keep your curtains closed if you don't to be seen). An outstanding experience, except for one note: The new Miami terminal is beautiful, but the building is too big while the outside facilities (parking, bus loading/departure area, taxi stand) are much too small. There was a great deal of confusion -- especially for people trying to take the Royal Caribbean shuttle bus transfer to the airport. Hopefully this will be ironed out as time goes by.Embarkation
