Review summary

The best part was the day in St. Maarten, beautiful waters and scenery.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth as always and they let us go on a little early too which was a great way to start the trip

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Our servers in the main dining room were awesome and always making sure we were happy with our food and service. Adwait and Mark were great guys. The windjammer was also designed well to make it seem not terribly busy and lots of seating. We chose to eat at Chops Grille one of the nights and the steaks and sides there never disappoint

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The entertainment on the ship are good, lots of great shows and game shows, things to do on the sports deck, only complaint was there should be more than one Flowrider because it’s a big ship and it would be at least an hour wait in the long lines. Symphony of the seas is better for having two Flowriders

Entertainment

The InTENse water show was one of the best shows I’ve seen on a ship, would watch it three times in a row…

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiters were great, Micheal our room steward followed all our requests and was always asking if here was anything he could do for us

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was very clean and I always saw workers cleaning all day long. All the floor surfaces were clean and carpets weren’t matted

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
The room was a normal standard inside room. Some of the complaints are it was right beside the door to the lobby so there were always lots of people walking by and it got loud. The biggest issue was every day- and more into the night, there was a loud banging and rumbling sound that would rumble our entire room and keep us up at night. The noise came from behind the bed and along the left wall, no idea what it was

Ship tip

If you want to get in line for something then do it earlier than expected, the ship is super busy all the time and people will line up for things earlier then you’d expect

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
We took a two hour taxi tour around the island and that was great to see how life is like on the Caribbean islands and we went to some view ports and got some great pictures. Then afterwards went to mullet bay beach and had a great time snorkelling in the crystal clear waters

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We did the Sea to Sky excursion which consisted of a boat ride to another section of the island and then we took a gondola to the top of that section and gave us two hours to do whatever. It’s definitely a very beautiful place

Port Canaveral, Florida

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

4 out of 5
It’s always a good timer here with great food. Unfortunately a storm cut the day short though and cancelled one of our excursions

Disembarkation
