An Excellent Cruise with a Couple of Flaws
"
As for the food delivered via room service (which is free for suite class), it really was not good and was usually cold.I admit it surprised me with the quality of both their food and their service, We ate in Coastal Kitchen quite often and were consistently impressed with their service and the quality of their food.

We have cruised with Royal Caribbean exclusively for the last 17 years. We are currently on our 9th or 10th cruise (lost count). We are on symphony of the seas, sailed from NJ to the Bahamas. This will be most definitely our last cruise. The last time we sailed was in 2019. First the good is that the ship is absolutely beautiful, lots of activities, friendly staff, and excellent shows. We are a

Enjoyed this ship, even with thorough preparation via you tube, I was still in awe of Symphony boarding. PROS1. The embarkation process was a breeze at Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey, took less than 45 minutes to wait through security line, check in and then board. Went straight to muster station, was told, "if anything happens... just come here..." hilarious! Cabins were available at

Have cruised 8 times, 4th time on RCL. We really enjoyed the megaship was full crowd but oddly rarely seemed crowded. Food way better than expectation's, two nights we had unlimited Shrimp & Lobster tails in Windjammer buffet outstanding. Lunch in Solarium completely different menus from Buffet excellent. Appreciated the dedicated running walking track without other traffic. Gym had every

Beautiful ship. Embarkation was great, very smooth. Our cabin on deck 8 was very nice. The staff very friendly and helpful. The food was disappointing, both in the MDR and buffet. Not as good as it use to be? We were put on my time dining, so did not have the experience of having our own table and waiters which was disappointing. We were told we could correct when we boarded but they were very

Not worth the outrageous cost for a sky suite! Won’t go on RC again. Water is not included in your room except for the crappy tap water that makes passengers sick. I had to complain until my room steward got permission to stick my room with bottled water! Then asked for a shower cap! Nope! Those were discontinued! Again my steward scraped me up a couple she found but said they were the last!

Have been loyal to royal since 1995, this was the worst ship and cruise i have ever sailed on! Total chaos first 2 days. Crew members appeared over whelmed , rude and not concerned about passengers in all faculties! crew members stood aroung totally ignoring passengers, busy talking to one another, as if they couldn"t care less. Food was the worst yet, and service was slim to none...actually

Great ship. Never felt crowded. Staff was outstanding. Food was good. Don't waste money on The Key program, or specialty restaurants, or balcony staterooms if trying to save a few bucks. Don't use the arcade. App was good but nothing beats the paper cruise compass when planning a day ahead so you can see all that is offered. You cannot hear announcements in the cabin so you have to jump up to open

We just concluded our 8 night cruise on Symphony to Aruba, Curaçao and Labadee Haiti (substituting Nassau Bahamas) we had a very good time! This is our 4th cruise overall (RCCL 7 day, RCCL 7 day, RCCL 8 day and Celebrity 10 night). This was a Spring Break cruise which was absolutely packed with around 5,300 people. The cruisers were overwhelmingly families (parents aged around 32-38 with

We love the entertainment on most of the Oasis-class ships, but the shows on the Symphony of the Seas were absolutely spectacular and amazing--by far the best we've seen. The Aqua show, the two ice shows, RC's original show regarding flight and the Broadway show, Hairspray were top notch. We have been on Oasis, Allure, Harmony and now the Symphony. Symphony was by far my favorite based on the
