The cruise on Symphony of the Seas was fantastic. The Crown and Anchor gathering was wonderful....the shows were absolutely fantastic!! Unfortunately we had a group of several young girls, who had no situational awareness.....running up and down the halls, knocking on doors and loud talking and laughing at 2:00 am every night.

Getting on and off the ship was very smooth sailing. The shows were fantastic!! We thoroughly enjoyed the Aqua show. The parade at the end of the cruise was cute. We were somewhat disappointed that the evening dining dress code of slacks for men and no shorts or bathing suits was not enforced. We had a group of 12 cruising and we had 3 special occasions to celebrate throughout the cruise. The celebrant was given a slice of cake for the celebration. Other ships we have been on have given a small cake so that everyone could enjoy the cake and celebration.

The cost of drinks was disappointing as well. Drinks on the ship were as costly as those when we dine out at home. Also, there was no classic type beverage package and/or a wine/beer package. Read more
