Review summary

Symphony of the Seas is a floating town. There is so much to do. The Water Acrobatic Shows are the most amazing thing I have seen. Great music throughout the Ship. Bring your camera and walking shows and keep going until your eyelids get heavy!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very Smooth. Very fast at our scheduled time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The Food has really improved. Windjammer was a pretty convenient restaurant for us multiple times. The Top-Shelf Liquor and Drinks was welcomed and prepared by the best!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The Fitness Center was spacious and state of the art. Several machines were Out Of Order. That really caused a lot of congestion. The Casino is pretty awful. It is too small for the amount of machines and chairs they jam in here. There are so many people in here, that you are unable to walk down aisles. Very Smokey too. The Shuffleboard is in a strange area and his very hidden.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The Entertainment Shows were incredible. Hiro was my favorite! It is a water acrobatic show and is simply amazing and full of talented performers! The Off-Broadway Shows were great too. Flight was a delightful historical story of aviation and was very thoughtful. Hairspray was very good too. The Shows on the Ice Rink were very energetic. The music throughout the ship was perfect for any mood. Whether we were relaxing or looking for energetic music, we found it! The Escape Room was really really cool. It stumped our group. Great job!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Imade, Junn, and Sony are great human beings and excellent workers. They tend bar at The Trellis Bar and do the best job I have seen in a while. The staff throughout the ship does a fantastic job at cleaning constantly. Well Done!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The staff makes this Ship feel like home. They clean often and it shows. Very comfortable conditions! The boat is large and as enough room for 9000 people to roam around. Wow!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The size was as expected. Everything was fine for 2 people. The Front of the Ship was extremely loud at nights. Constant banging that sounded like bombs. We were right up frony on Deck 7, by the Helipad.

Ship tip

Bring your walking shoes and try to see it all! The Ship will entertain you and wear you down so you sleep without a problem.

Beautiful Town! This Port is full of photo ops!

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Actually a really cool area with multiple beaches. The island is very clean. I really liked the Market with the locals selling their trinkets, but the locals ARE SO AGGRESSIVE. Calm down dudes!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
