Never ending service!
August
Pros: We really enjoyed all of the activities and events that we participated in. The shows were all Broadway level shows. We appreciated The constant communication with the guests on the status of the tropical storm. They kept our safety The number one priority.
Cons: I would not really say this is a con, but I wished they would have a little more for the 16-18 age range. My 17-year-old daughter did not want to hang out with 12-year-olds. Otherwise everything was perfect
Recommended: Yes
Our time on the cruise was amazing. The service is really above and beyond. The quality of the food is wonderful. The events planned were fun. Our excursion for Coco cay was canceled because of weather. And unfortunately there wasn't really anything additional that we can do so perhaps creating some new alternative excursions for Coco cay in the case of weather would be great.

Great family cruise
July
Pros: Food, service, entertainment, excellent kids program
Cons: Had no issues !
Recommended: Yes
Food was excellent as usual. Service was outstanding. We were 2 families traveling together. We had 3 teens and an 8 yr old and a 10 yr old. Kids sat at there own table and our waiter went out if his way with kids.Great cabin steward as usual. Had some really good shows on this sailing and a different themed party in the Promenade every night. Everyone enjoyed Coco Cay especially the kids in Thrill Park. Overall a really nice cruise.

Excellent vacation
July
Pros: Clean, plenty of entertainment, variety of food, excellent service
Cons: Very small solarium pool
Recommended: Yes
My girlfriend and I traveled on Symphony of the Seas recently. She was a great ship, smooth sailing, large pools for kids, a few water slides, plenty of bars and tons of places to get food. The ship was very clean and well maintained. The shows were absolutely fantastic and would recommend seeing every single one of them. Our only real complaint is the solarium pool. (Adult only pool). It was extremely small for the size of the ship, it would fit maybe 20 people. We were on Serenade of the Seas last year, a ship half its size, with half the guests, and the pool was twice a large.

July
Pros: Health Spa, Food, Entertainment and exceptional crew/staff
Cons: None!
Recommended: Yes
The personalities of the entire Symphony of the Seas international family represent the best of the best! My cabin was always cleaned perfectly and Omar cabin steward was excellent! At dinner Caleb assistant waiter made sure our table was well taken care of along with Mohit waiter. I have travelled the world and love going to beauty spa’s, I must admit aboard the Symphony of the Seas I received the best facial and massage Arlene was excellent. The Entertainment across the performing platform was wonderful!

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.
