The Symphony of the Seas is an incredible ship that exceeded our expectations of a cruise line. From the staff, the service, the hospitality, the shows and the food, I would highly recommend this trip and Royal Caribbean.

Review summary

Two of our family members had never been on a cruise and this was an incredible experience. The ship, crew, staff, food and entertainment was the best of the best.

5 out of 5
Easiest of all my cruises.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food in main dining was excellent and loved the options of the upgrades. Windjammer was our breakfast go to spot and various other locations for lunch when onboard.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The shows are the top of the line. Flight was awesome, however Hiro was absolutely breath taking. To produce and perform such technical acrobatics and high wire acts with such precision and Grace was perfect in every way. If this show is on your next cruise, it is a must to see!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Music and entertainment was great

Children's Programs

No child participated from our group.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The best I’ve seen. Every staff member always had a smile, always asked how we were doing and wishing us a great day.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very well maintained and although a massive ship, it was easy to get around and fine what you were looking for.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Although the bed was harder than we prefer., the room was great. We rarely spent much time there due to all the onboard and off board activities.

Ship tip

Although the app is good, it’s not easily navigated nor do you have an easy search feature.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Only used this to embark and disembark.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

3 out of 5
The beach excursion we booked through American Airline cruise site was less than spectacular. I recommend using Royal Caribbean’s excursions.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Loves the scuba diving we booked through Royal Caribbean. The quality of instructions and dive experience was great.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Facial recognition of disembarkation was perfect! Some long lines are expected with a large ship. But planning according made the process easy and quick.
