Symphony of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Beautiful ship with great shows, good food and professional staff. Loved the experience.

first time on royal and will travel with them again.

2 adults and our 11 year old set sail on Symphony of the Seas for a 4 day cruise to Cozumel. It was our first cruise with a kid and the ship had more than enough activities for the whole family.

We chose this cruise 1) because it was a Halloween cruise and 2) because we wanted to do this ship. We have been to these ports many times so we weren't concerned about doing any excursions.

great but too big. too many people in dining areas and clogging up lines all over ship. too many kids in hot tubs so Solarium was great! fire the smoke guy! LOL

Wonderful time and the guest costumes were creative. They had a parade each day and plenty to do for everyone.

Really enjoyed the Boardwalk, Royal Promenade and Central Park neighborhoods. Plan some things and ad lib the rest.

The BJ's perks that were promised on this cruise did not come through for all my rooms. Very aggravating! Lots of issues on BJ's travel side, including a representative accidently cancelling my cruise and all my reservations purchased for specialty dining, my time dining, and drink packages. It was a disaster.

This cruise was relaxing and the service and staff was excellent.

Enjoyed the services and the casino. Balcony room was "not" on ocean but in the garden, inside ship. Wife enjoyed Spa services and thermal suite. Solarium pool/spas fit for maybe 120 people vs. 6000 passengers on board (Probably around 3500 seniors). Ship set up for children, not seniors.

We were informed the night before we left that we would be skipping all ports due to Hurricane Milton and told us they'd be going to Puerto Plata, DR and Labadee. I was fine with that because I hadn't been to those ports before. Puerto Plata was great, we had a nice time although the Royal City excursion was more about shopping than the promised historical sites. I don't need 25 minutes at their "approved" store and only 5 at the local church. We missed the fort entirely. Service was exceptional, the specialty restaurants were great and all in all it was a good cruise. The entertainment is top-notch.

Everyone it’s frustrated about the change of the itinerary….

The ship was excellent. Unfortunately because of hurricane Milton our itinerary was changed. The only port we were able to stop at was Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Six days at sea was a bit too long for me but we understood, safety first.

Great cruise! Had lots of fun. We were joined by my elderly parents who had a wonderful time. Entire experience was fantastic, although the cruise was unusually crowded and added to wait times and availability. Ports were great for all who enjoy outdoor activities or just wish to site see and shop. Really a good time overall!

I had such a wonderful time. The crew were so sweet and treated us great.

It was our 27th wedding Anniversary and we have no complaints. We look forward to going on the Symphony of the Seas again or another Oasis ship.

Wonderful experience from beginning to end. Have cruised other lines before and would definately cruise with RC again. The shopping on board was disappointing - and the sales were a little pushy - but overall - you can be as busy or as relaxed as you want.

It was a beautiful ship but they tried to cram too many people into it and didn’t pay attention to small things. Long waits for elevators, shopping was very high end, small pools, tiny splash pad. The main dining room staff and the food however were amazing! 10/10 for the food and staff.

Overall as expected, the ship is well maintained and there is adequate space for the passengers. The pool and other common areas were available when desired and never super crowded.

Cape Cana. Was poor for things to do unless you booked all day excursion. No communication to stay on ship until time for your excursion.
