Review summary

One of the most unforgettable experiences in my life.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
I was lucky to have a Grand Suite giving me immediate access to Terminal A and the Suite Lounge. Regular passengers waited in line outside Terminal A for hours because the registration system was down.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I only had one meal in the Main Dining Room, Champagne Brunch after a Galley Tour. Food was excellent. The specialty restaurants, especially Wonderland were all a memorable experience. Can't say enough about the food and service in the Coastal Kitchen

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I underused these activities but what I saw were excellent facilities and a lot of passengers enjoying them.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Hiro had me at the edge of my seat. Very Las Vegas. Flight was enjoyable. Very Broadway. Wonderland Mad Hatter and servers were very entertaining.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Top notch at every level. Can't say enough about the professional service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
My jaws dropped arriving at Terminal A and seeing Symphony for the first time. It took me a couple of days and many exploratory trips to grasp the reality of Symphony,

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Completely satisfied. Beautiful accommodations. Ronald, my room attendant, was very professional and caring.

Ship tip

The Symphony has much to offer. Take advantage of as much as you can. And RELAX!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Enjoyed the Eco Everglades Excursion, especially the air boat. Got to see alligators in the wild. One complaint. The bus dropped Delta passengers a long distance from the Delta checkin gates. Don't know why.

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Exciting ATV excursion. Worth it. Very profession guides. Did not spend anytime in the town. Too tired after the ATV excursion.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Beautiful port. Did the Zip Line excursion. Wow. Excellent guides. The excursion wiped me out so I didn't spend any time shopping

Nassau, Bahamas Did not visit port

I wanted the day to relax and pack for debarkation

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The process was over in no time. No long waits or lines.

We bought the galley brunch tour for our July 13th sailing. How was yours? We bought it cause our son is graduating high school and he is exploring culinary arts I am hoping this is something that will interest him. Can u give me some info about it. ? We also got reservations for wonderland I cant wait.

I still don’t understand why people have grand suites or the family executive suite. The last place I want to be is in my room on the ship like this or any ship. To me that’s just a waste of money for those rooms. Was it worth the extra money?
