Loved the Symphony booked another cruise for later. Large ship, a LOT to do, NEVER really crowded.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The Main Dinning food was very good and the waiter and assistance were super. Windjammer was OK. My one complaint was the one soft serve ice cream machine was inadequate and often out of ice cream. Royal Caribbean should contract with Dairy Queen on how to do it right.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the hot tubs and enjoyed watching the flow rider.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Hiro, Flight, and adult comedy shows were excellent - highly recommend them

Service and Staff

Our waiters and stewards and every employee we met on the ship was there to help you. The guest services also assisted with a situation for me.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship layout and guide help was excellent and well maintained in all areas of cleanliness .

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin 6198 was spacious and the balcony was more than big enough. The cabin steward maintained the cabin in excellent condition and cleaned at least twice a day and kept us in ice all the time.

Ship tip

Make your reservation for shows and diner as soon you can before boarding. Shows fill up fast.
