Review summary

This was my first ever cruise and I loved it. It was one of the best vacations I have ever had over all. Sometimes I felt warm on the boat and while sleep, and I wish we had more time on the islands. Especially Coco Cay but it was still an amazing week.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We got lucky enough that there were not many people at all due to Covid so it was great.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Everything I ate was amazing and the buffets had everything you could think of. Something for everyone

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We swam in the pool a few times, which was amazing, saw some shows and used the bars to their full extent. We also went to the silent disco and a dance club. Both were super fun!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All the shows we watched were great. Especially Hairspray!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every crew member that I ran into was an absolute delight. Everyone was so nice and more than willing to help with anything we needed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was super clean the entire week.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The size was perfect and it was always cleaned if we asked it to be. I would say that I got warm while sleeping a few times even though we had the air all the way to cold, but other than that I loved it.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
This port was fine. We didn’t have anything to do that we wanted to do so we just got on the boat.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

4 out of 5
I loved this port. The beach was so pretty and there were shops to look at as well. The adults in our group said they wished we ported at a different port due to shops and I feel like we didn’t have as much time as I would have liked there.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

4 out of 5
This was my favorite port but we did not have nearly enough time to be able to explore the entire island, enjoy our drinks and relax. We also had to cancel an excursion to make sure we had enough time to be able to swim and explore (this. Could have been in the other island but I think it was here) I would have loved a few more hours here. That would have made it perfect!

The Symphony is by far my favorite ship. I have a group going on this ship in January 2022 and all of the people 'except me husband and I, are first-time cruisers. I love having new cruisers go with us

What a ship to have your first cruise adventure. I'm sure this will be the first of many, you are officially a cruiser now.
