Eastern Caribbean Symphony of the Seas Eastern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

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 ...

This ship has a lot of positive coverage on YouTube, but we feel the reality fell short. The main problem was the lack of ocean views and this is probably the main reason we didn’t enjoy the cruise compared to smaller ships. The only place with good water views is the buffet. Everywhere else feels like a high end mall or Las Vegas. If you don’t have a balcony room, you can easily go the whole day ...

We chose this particular cruise due to the ship's reputation and the locations covered in the itinerary, as well as our previous experiences with Royal Caribbean, which have been consistently positive. Despite the Symphony's large size and passenger and crew capacity, it seldom felt crowded; the amount and variety of activity options doubtless helped in this regard. Meals in the main dining room ...

I was not as enchanted by the Symphony of the Seas this time. We had been on it in early 2020 before the cruise industry was shut down, so this was our second time on the ship. We started the cruise on a Saturday, and on Wednesday I became violently ill with norovirus. Our friends, who had gone on the cruise with us, also became sick, as did some others I spoke with. I have cruised for many ...

We chose this ship over Disney Cruise because of the appeal of the onboard amusement park for our annual family vacation. There were 6 adults and 4 children: 10, 7, 7, and 4. The adults are repeat cruisers. We are also repeat Royal Caribbean/Celebrity customers. We understand that there are challenges to post pandemic travels. We were mandated to use the APP and the web for communication. The ...

We were on this ship before the pandemic, just before they shut down the cruise industry. We also went on its sister ship which is very nearly identical. My overall impression of the ship was good; however, they seem to have cut a few corners since my other sailings on these two ships and made a few changes I didn't like. There were some maintenance issues, which I didn't see before, and some ...

We chose this cruise because we've seen the ship before and wanted to try out all the fun stuff. My favorite things were the zip line, water slides, Aqua Theater Show, and Ice Skating Shows. Plus, we had an inward-facing balcony for the first time, which was very cool. Embarkation in Miami went smoothly. Debarkation was very organized also - just stood in one short line when they called our ...

We're a couple celebrating our first anniversary and also my birthday. This is the first cruise of a B2B. Since we're coming from outside the US, we arrived in Miami a couple of days early and stayed in the downtown area. This is our third cruise, all of them in Oasis-class ships (and, hence, also in Royal Caribbean). On boarding day, we took an Uber to the port and arrived at around 10:30am, ...

For everyone's experience is different..... I can tell you that they don't take care of their passengers as well as you think they do. They have discriminated with passengers multiple times. Including retired veterans they have targeted. I solemnly refer to the staff. And even though you can ask they're gonna deny it a million times but I've seen that happen quite a few times on the boat. Do ...
