Symphony of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Embarkation did not follow check in times. Staff and service were excellent. Entertainment was great. Plenty of activities. Lots of places to sit and relax, sun or shade. Choices galore for included food places.

We have sailed on Symphony of The Seas three times, because overall, the ship is beautiful, clean, and the customer service is great! There is a lot for everyone to do. Never a dull moment!

Too large a ship, food not as good as our past cruises and room steward subpar.

Great cruise overall with spectacular ports of call of Aruba, Curacao and Jamaica, amazing production shows onboard, great dining room and buffet experience. Fellow passengers were of different ages and backgrounds - families with kids as well as older cruisers. 2 formal nights where ties and jackets were not enforced. Would cruise with RCCL again.

RC needs free shuttles to and from airports for its customers. Other than being bigger ships they are just another cruise liner charing $18 gratuity per day per person like another poor liner. They definitely deserve one chance as others are not that bad either in the market.

This trip was perfect from start to finish. We felt the love from the staff and enjoyed every activity we participated in. We never had to wait for anything there was always someone on hand to take care of our needs. Our housekeeper Karl was the friendliest and most thorough I've ever had on a trip our room was immaculate everyday!! Devan and Nigel deck 4 table 454 was the best dining experience I've ever had. These 2 servers were spot on so professional and made us feel incredibly welcome!!! Can't wait to cruise this ship again!!!

Had a great time. 10th trip on Royal. Second time on Symphony. The first time was in Europe. The ship is big, but yet you feel like you have the place all to yourself sometimes. The food is great, our room was great. Our steward even made sure there were always wine glasses for us.

Best Cruise ever! Cruise was amazing! food was good. Great entertainment.

We loved every Aruba, Curaçao, and Jamaica was a pleasant surprise. Entertainment, activities, food, service and staff were superb. Relaxing on our balcony was our sweet spot!

With the exception of dining room menu (the expected high quality choices) which I think was not always the best dinner choices, the cruise and total experience was wonderful.

I will never ever go on Royal Caribbean again. The kids all said they were bored and prefer Carnival. If you are 50+ and like basic drinks and entertainment then you will love this cruise.

Awesome Cruise overall with a group of 15 of us. 4 of them it was their first cruise and the other 11 of us it was (most of their) 2nd cruise. So happy we have friends that enjoy cruising with us!

We loved Symphony of the Seas! So many activities to keep my kiddos busy! We enjoyed having various dining options with an unpredictable toddler. We enjoyed the main dining room 3 nights and the wait staff was great! We frequented Johnny Rockets for breakfast and their staff provided excellent service. The pools were crowded, but that was to be expected on a Spring Break cruise. The opener for the comedy show was hilarious. My children enjoyed Adventure Ocean and my husband and I were able to enjoy a few date nights together. Overall we LOVED this vacation and are ready to plan our next cruise!

Use enjoyed the ship. It had tons of activities and the music at night was great. The food we did not like at all. the service used to be so much better. people used to be so much nicer. I was told a couple of times to move out of the way or to get out of the elevator because it was reserved for VIP. I understand they pay a premium but I wish they would find a different way to treat us commoners who still pay a hefty price to vacation on their ship. Also, Labadee was removed from our itinerary. I understand it was for the safety of everyone, and I appreciate the fact that Royal Caribbean cared for the safety of its passengers, however we were going to the bahamas, why couldn't they just add a cococay stop? We were looking forward to a day at the beach and because it was too windy in Nassau, that excursion was cancelled as well, therefore, we ended up not going the beach at all in a caribbean vacation. I enjoyed the amenities of the ship overall, but I will not travel royal caribbean again because of their bad food, and service.

Was a good experience overall wish was less people onboard but we had great time

Overall cruise was great, with the aforementioned preference or observation notations that were cited

We had a great time. Kid and adults both had fun and relaxed.

It was ok...the fine dining was the best part of it, but to have a 1:00 am curfew for kids that's under the age of 18 is not good, way too much drama, running, cursing, and being just disrespectful. It was 8 of us cruising this time on you guys, but I think we will try another ship for next cruise. Thanks so much for your time.

It has been 2 years since we were on Royal Caribbean. We had taken a couple of cruises on other lines. It was wonderful to be back on RC. It is still our most favorite cruiseline and will definitely return.

Nice winter getaway. Smooth seas, great weather. Enjoyed just staying on the ship on port days and enjoying the amenities. Falmouth was disappointing as they have lost several shops in the port area. Nassau's new port area is very well done but not enough inexpensive shops.
