Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas ship exterior

Overview

Symphony of the Seas is home to many of Royal Caribbean’s Oasis-class fan favorites, all in one awesome ship. Once onboard, venture into the Ultimate Abyss – a ten-story tall slide - for a thrill of a lifetime as you prepare to scale every height on the dual 43-foot rock-climbing walls. For a more adventurous experience, zip line nine decks in the air above Symphony of the Seas.

Accommodations range from Royal Suite Class and Family Suites to Balcony, Oceanview and Interior Staterooms. With 20 dining options ranging from quality, hand-cut steaks at Royal Caribbean's Chops Grille to Japanese grill specialties and a new teppanyaki menu at Izumi Hibachi & Sushi, there's something for everyone aboard Symphony of the Seas.

Symphony of the Seas

Never thought we’d like a big ship but it was best ever. First day was a zoo getting on and moving about. But after that it was great. Such a smooth sailing we never felt any rocking. Shows were great especially water shows. Food was very good as were the staff. Little know fact - 10% discount at Kennedy space center shop for cruisers. Ship does not tell you and neither does the space center tour guide on the bus. Found out from a store person stocking shelves. Cabin was best we’ve ever had and plenty of storage. Summer cruise had lots of kids since school was out. Ship likes kids.

Pros: Cabins, food, staff

Cons: First day crowd

Symphony of the Seas

The boat was very amazing with all the amenities but it did offer. However the vegan and plant-based healthy options were extremely limited and choice and not appetizing. Myself and my husband are both plant-based I am much more strict about eating plant-based due to health reasons and did request the menu was given at promptly however the food on it was very bland tasteless and watery for the majority of the time. Windjammer had a lot more fantastic plant-based vegan options primarily IndianThat were delicious but most likely also had a lot of oil in them which if you are looking to be plant-based for health reasons is not recommended.

Pros: Lots to do

Cons: Huge, can be exhausting, very poor vegan/plant based options
