Great ship
March
Pros: So much to do, easy to find our way around, choices for meals are great, shows were wonderful
Cons: More up charges than in the past, Wind noise in the extended bump out balcony room was very loud.
Recommended: Yes
Overall loved the ship, had a great time. Hot Dog place has less choices and no beer, told us to go to Playmakers for beer, and when I asked for sauerkraut he forgot it, asked again and he gave me a small dollop, so I asked for more. My husband didn’t get the onions he asked for and was too annoyed to ask again.

Symphony of the Seas
May
Pros: Beautiful new ship
Cons: Reservations for dinner & shows snapped up quickly
Recommended: Yes
Symphony of the Seas is a beautiful ship with activities for the whole family. We were concerned that we would feel crowded on board, but Royal Caribbean does crowd control well. We never had long delays to board or disembark. There were multiple included dining options and times so all the passengers could find places to fit their tastes. Also, the shows were performed on multiple days and times which spread out the crowds and allowed people to fit them into their own schedules. My biggest complaint was that the earlier reservations for MyTime dining in the main dining room filled so quickly that we were assigned late (8:30 pm) dining times. The staff worked with us and we were able to dine at 6:30 on 3 nights in the end. The free RC phone app is not great either. I would not rely on it for onboard communication. The VOOM internet (which you pay for separately) streamed well enough for our kids.

Feedback
February
Pros: Very clean- excellent service!
Cons: Not enough chairs
Recommended: Yes
People put towels down on chairs 7:00am and save chairs for hours so there are hardly any chairs by 9:00am- should somehow limit the chairs or chair time.. Cococay brochures should be put in all rooms before the arrival day. This was people can plan their day. Maybe some coffee kiosks could be set up in certain floors. People complain ed that there weren’t enough coffee places. Otherwise, very happy with activities, service and staff. Would recommend and would go in another cruise with Royal Caribbean!
