Western Caribbean Symphony of the Seas Western Caribbean Cruise Reviews

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 ...

Very disappointed in RCL. We have sailed with them several times prior to COVID. Was looking forward to the Oasis class ship. Big disappointment! The shows are great and that is where the greatness ends. The main dining room can not accommodate Celiac selections. Steak is always available but you find a better steak at waffle house. None of the steaks came close to Texas Roadhouse quality. When ...

We have about 20 cruises under our belt, most of which have been with RCI and the overall experience and value made it our first pick for cruise lines. Just 3 weeks prior to our trip on Symphony of the seas, we took a cruise with Virgin on valliant Lady. With such a recent cruise as a benchmark me found ourselves disappointed and frustrated at every turn with RCI and will be unlikely to ever ...

I chose this cruise because my experience with the Symphony in the past was great. After a long wait post Covid decided to take another. However, this recent experience was very disappointing. The my time dining completely change from the prior booking experiences without prior notice to me. The food selections in the windjammer was very poor. The entertainment and option to book in advance was ...

Cruise was not as good as those I have taken on the other big Rcc ships. The quality o the dining and the failure of the cruise director made tht\ this cruise less than enjoyable. One big failure was to have blind disco dancing with not enough head sets for all who wanted to participate. Also there were many activities but so many of them were only 30 minutes. . the only outstanding ...

DAY 1: Embarkation Day We had a 10:30-11:00 check-in time. We were on-board before 11:00. Getting on-board early isn’t as smart as I thought it would be. The Windjammer hadn’t opened yet nor had the eMuster Stations. When the Windjammer finally opened up we discovered that I was still the worst buffet at sea. Too small and too few selections. By 1pm we had completed or eMuster Drill ...

Having just returned from a cruise on Symphony of the Seas I wanted to write an honest review of this ship. We have cruised on both Royal and Celebrity in the past and have seen a big difference in the past few years. The main difference recently is in the Main dining room for evening meals. The menu always had choices on the day but also had "classics" which were available every day if you ...

We did a seven-night western Caribbean sailing in November 2022 to Costa Maya, Cozumel, Roatan, and Coco Cay. Nearly everything was perfect. It was a clean, beautiful humongous ship. The food was great, we enjoyed the Main Dinning room a lot, and Sorrentos pizza and El Loco Fresh were really good. The five main shows were awesome, Hairspray, Flight, Hiro, and the two ice shows, are all must-sees. ...

it was my wife's first cruise at 57 and we needed to travel from Florida with specific dates due to her very demanding job... good past experiences with RC and big ship opportunity made symphony of the seas an obvious and accurate choice. I wanted her to have the best vacation possible, so I booked a suite with the ultimate drink package, the key program, and a night in Miami just before the ...

I am not the kind to write reviews, but after my experience on this ship, I feel it necessary to inform other consumers. We booked this trip and several months later, Royal offered me a marketing proposal to upgrade my room to a VIP suite for TWO people, and I was staying in the room alone. I did not challenge this because these were the rules, so I paid for the double fee required for the ...
