Review summary

Overall, we enjoyed every minute on the ship! Loved all the shows, Mama Mia, Flight, Skating, Tiro, Comedy…bingo…

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was good; at first when we got there, there was no sign yet showing “slot time”, so everyone was kind of bunch together, than 10 still 11am, they started calling customer with who purchased “key”, than time…other than that, went smoothly afterwards, we were inside the ship by 11:15 am.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Yes, I’m giving 5 star, although I do feel that because they have to cater to 6000, some employee feel grumpy…but it’s ok, we know they do work and very passionate! Our Room steward were great! Waiters in windjammers were great as well!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Layout is great size for big ship and design was cool, they had different decor on each floor at the stairs area! Very clean and maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Good size for interior, I don’t know if because Symphony is newer but the interior room is little bigger than older interior room.

Ship tip

Royal app is and will be ur best friend; utilizes that app as much as can. When u step inside the ship, start making ur reservation right away because shows and activities will get booked fast…

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

We’ve been here many and explored enough already.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5
Honestly, wished RC would had gave us more time to explore the island, we had between 5:30pm-9pm to explore San Juan, we only walk around n explore shopping area and headed back to ship before it got dark…. But I can’t give more than 3 stars yet…area was ok!

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
2nd time here, enjoyed beaches and foods! Island little run down but beaches and points are nice to check it out!

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
Love Magens Bay!

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Love CocoCay! Sadly that, ship are almost at capacity, there was 2 ships at one time, Mariner got there before us, so of course all chairs was ALL taken by them, unfortunately…. We got leftover 😭 over all we love the island, even before the island was updated, island was already loved by us!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Crowded, which doesn’t surprise us, we’re use it! Long line, if u can, leave early or late 😊
