Review summary

The ship is very nice with much to do if it is what you like. The food did not give me thrills of any kind, but it is better that you be the judge.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The food was not very tasty for the so called theme nights. A lot left to be desired with quality and preparation.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Not very much for seniors except walking and some gym exercise activities.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The show are very loud and deafening.

Children's Programs

Senior Citizen

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Waiters and staff always do a great job given what seems to be their reduced numbers.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I have no problem with the layout and design of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The cabin was acceptable for two individuals. It was well maintained.

Ship tip

Be ready to be disappointed with the new menu being tested on the Symphony.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas Did not visit port

A great port for kids but limited for adults who already live by a beach. I am interested in the opening of the "ADULTS ONLY" section next year.

Amazing cruise

Had an amazing time with friends and family, however 5 out of 7 of us got COVID. Cruise ship neighbors got COVID. And there were plenty of people hacking the way I am now only during the trip. Hine sight most of them probably had COVID too!!! COVID +

We tested COVID+ on day 4 and were in isolation for the rest of the trip.
