Symphony of the Seas Review: Our Honest Take on this Royal Caribbean Mega Ship
We spent 7 days on Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas in December, and this was our first Royal Caribbean cruise in more than a decade. In this video, we share our take on what it was like sailing one of the biggest cruise ships in the world, from first impressions and crowds to the cabin, included dining, specialty restaurants, entertainment, pools, and CocoCay. We also talk about how the Oasis-class neighborhood layout works in real life, whether the ship ever stopped feeling overwhelming, what we liked most, and where Symphony of the Seas fits for travelers like us who usually cruise a little differently. If you’re trying to decide whether Symphony of the Seas is worth booking, especially for a holiday sailing or family cruise, this review should help. Our separate Casino video is coming up next, so... Subscribe for more honest cruise reviews, casino comp travel breakdowns, and real-world takes on ships, cabins, and loyalty programs.
