Review summary

Symphony of the seas exceeded our expectations in so many different ways. Already booked our next trip and can’t wait!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

From the moment we arrived to port until we got onto the ship was a less than 30 minute process. We were so surprised at how quick embarkation was.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main dining food was incredible and the wait staff was equally as amazing. Our server Imade definitely amped the experience that we had, and made us feel so welcome. Windjammer was good just like on every royal ship. Solarium bistro lunch buffet surprised us in all the best ways.

Jamie's Italian

5 out of 5

We had a free lunch included with our Central Park Balcony. All the food here was delicious, we tried just about everything between all the people in our group. Favorite appetizer had to have been the calamari and sweet pepper bruschetta. The truffle pasta was amazing with black truffle shavings.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

There is so much to do on this ship that once you leave you feel like there wasn’t enough time to fully experience everything. The shows were great, laser tag was fun, casino and bingo were fun as always. One negative is if you are traveling with younger children, they must be 42” to go on the small slides in splashaway bay on board. My 4 year old was an inch too short but goes on bigger slides back home and even at coco cay. She was a bit disappointed but there was so much to do she was easily distracted from that after. We just loved that there was something for everyone in the family to do at all times. Adventure ocean and the nursery were great for our kids.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

My 4 year old absolutely loved adventure ocean and did not want to be picked up. They had different activities and movies at all times of the day. The nursery for babies was great as well, the women working there were amazing with our 10 month old and we felt comfortable when we left her for an hour or two.
