Review summary
We loved our cruise and would definitely sail on Symphony of the Seas again. CoCoCay was fun but could use more lounge chairs, umbrellas and food stations. St. Maarten was awesome, and we loved St. Thomas despite the heavy rains that day. The food on board was the best we've ever had on a cruise ship and the same goes for the shows (usually they are awful.) Make your dinner and excursion reservations before the cruise. Make your show reservations as soon as you step on board to avoid getting shut out. Get to the pool early on sea days and grab your chair because the chair hogs come out early and never give up their loungers. The staff did not clear towels from idle lounge chairs on this cruise as they have in the past. Drink prices have gone WAY up and the drinks were weak. Give yourself an hour to get off the ship at disembarkation. Once you are off the ship, grabbing your luggage and going through customs was a breeze. The taxi stand line was very long but Ubers and Lyfts typically show up in about 10 minutes and are cheaper.Embarkation

Ship tip
The ship is massive and when it is full it is a bust place. Book all of your specialty dining and excursions weeks before you sail. Book all of your shows (musicals, ice skating, comedy, headliner, etc.) as soon as you step on the ship. They will fill up fast.
