Symphony of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Tips

Book dining and internet packages before sailing because it saves you $ on cost. Our cruise friends got the Voom faster internet package & it met their needs. They thought they couldn’t sail on any ship because of internet needs for work. I told them about Starlink internet & it was a success for them thankfully. If you have any issues the Voom desk can figure anything out. You do a lot of walking on & off the ship so bring comfortable shoes.

Be prepared for the disembark. Very crowded on the curb. Glad I took the airport shuttle bus and not Uber or taxi.

Book your entertainment before as soon as it opens up before you leave on your cruise. It was so easy to get in, and many people were waiting, and never got in because the entertainment was full.

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

It seemed as though the goal was to upsell at every turn. Always trying to add an expense to our trip.

On embarkation day, so to the Solarium Bistro instead of the Windjammer. Less crowds and really good food.

Use the "key". I wish I had and will from now on, it is definitely well worth it. Also, use the free reservation ability (if you have the Key you can skip this step), it helps with getting into the venues early and not having to wait in long lines.

For breakfast and lunch, your best bet is the Solarium Bistro, the food is fresher and of better quality than Windjammer - yes, the quality is different! No prosciutto or Roquefort cheese in Windjammer!
