1-10 of 14 Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas Cruise Reviews
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 ...
Family cruise with Adult Children and Adult grand children.
Staff was excellent, most specialty restaurants were great dining experience. Aqua Show and Ice shows were great ,very good and entertaining. Aqua theatre suite went well beyond expectations.
Our Genie Hugo did an exemplary job. Our cabin attendant Joanne was one of the best we have had over many cruises. Had fun on the water ...
Overall really positive experience. I sailed with my husband and boys ages 13 and 7.
Lots of amenities, friendly and helpful staff, decent food (when calibrating that it’s a cruise ship serving 6k people), and lots of activities and entertainment to choose from. Many talented musicians. Lots of trivia games. Laser tag was a hit with my kids. Everyone enjoyed the all access tour of the ship and ...
Let me start by saying I read all the reviews before we went on our cruise and I did have some concerns. My wife and I go on one cruise a year. We are just your normal couple, I am not looking for high class dining. We want nice meals, good shows, lots of options, great places to drink, time by the pool. After this cruise I can say that we were not disappointed in any of these areas. Let me ...
Background
We sailed on the 8 day, southern Caribbean sailing (12/16/23 - 12/24/23) on Symphony of the Seas. This was our 24th sailing with Royal Caribbean. We also have several sailings with Princess and Celebrity, as well as one each with Norwegian and Carnival.
Cabin (4 of 5)
We were in a 2D cabin on the hump, not far from the aft elevators. No complaints about the cabin, but the ...
Everything about this ship is perfection! The design layout, the amenities, shows, stateroom design, dining room, list goes on. The artwork is breathtaking and fun. The interactive staircase piano is beautiful and creative and fun for people of all ages! The adult solarium is absolutely stunning and next level artistry! The pool decks beautifully designed. The aqua show was interesting show theme ...
Surprised cruising friends we hadn’t seen in 5 years. That was the best part. We are Royal Caribbean Diamond Plus. First time on Symphony. If you like really LOUD music almost constantly in the Promenade and where you need to shout at each other in the evenings to be heard, then this ship is for you. It was not what we have come to know and love on Royal Caribbean for the past 28 years. Also had ...
Decided to return to cruising after last one just as COVID struck. First time on RCL and although we knew it was family orientated we didn’t think there would be so many kids considering they should be in school and only a few weeks before Christmas. This ship definitely has oodles to do for the younger set but that being said don’t expect to find a quiet place anywhere except your state room or ...
Our last cruise with Royal Caribbean was on Allure of the Seas several years ago, and we really liked that ship and decided to stick with Oasis class again. This particular cruise was the result of a previous booked cruise on Symphony that we had to cancel and rebook, so the itinerary wasn't the one we would have picked.
I had expected Symphony to show some improvements over Allure since it was ...
