Review summary

First time on Symphony and it was an impressive ship with so much to do and see. Many dining options and the specialty restaurants were very good. We definitely recommend ship for families especially with teens/pre-teens. If you are a couple who likes a more adult atmosphere you may want to consider Princess, Celebrity, Viking, etc. Definitely the best entertainment of any cruise line we have experienced. The shows were outstanding between broadway show Hairspray, Hiro (think Cirque Du Soleil in water) and the Ice Skating show. If you can afford The Key get it- my family loved all the perks especially the Wi-Fi included.

Despite on/off showers all day our family really had a good time. Food was very good. If budget allows recommend getting cabana at Oasis Lagoon. Kept us dry when it rained.
