Yes, we have been on Symphony. And Allure several times- her sister ship. Love the Oasis class! They are big ships so they hold more people but I have always felt less crowded on them because there’s so many things to do and the crowd is more spread out. The shows are great. The aqua show is amazing! Plenty of specialty restaurants and bars. I love Central Park. It’s a great ship!

Not the Symphony but we've been on Allure and Oasis of the Seas which are also Oasis Class ships. We've also cruised on Quantum of the Seas, two Disney ships and HAL Koningsdam. Oasis class are my absolute favourite. Central Park is amazing and I love that there is always something to do if I choose.

I’ve been on Symphony.
It’s ginormous. That’s the pro and the con. Ice skating rink, water theater… it’s got every thing!
It is well set up to where there are still quiet areas. The “specialty restaurant” dining wasn’t as good (to me) as the NCL Getaway… direct comparison within the same calendar quarter. It’s been a few years and that is subjective, so take it with a huge grain of salt.
I did the sake and sushi, if it’s still available, it was great.
I loved the water theatre show- please please please don’t miss it! I don’t know if it’s different, it’s been 2 years, but it was amazing and I remember it was something I either booked in advance or wished I had and got lucky.
Getting on the ship was super easy. Getting off was time consuming. But no worse than any other disembarking.
I loved the gym and the track. The smoothies were excellent! I don’t remember much about pools etc.
I would go on it again. Entirely different atmosphere from the smaller more intimate shops (I love Radiance of the Seas.) I was grateful for the quiet spaces, I was worried about that in the NYC of cruise ships lol

I’ve been on Oasis of the Seas - pools get tremendously crowded, but other than that, it was fun! Enjoy!!!

Wr had fun but I was glad it was a Mediterranean cruise because on the evening the ship was so do boring.
I like to catch a show, a snack, and go dance. They rolled up the sidewalks at 10pm

They rolled up the sidewalks at 10pm That's disappointing. On our Oasis class cruises, the nightclub didn't even open until 12:30pm. We went anyway. We had to prove to our late teen/early 20's kids that we could keep up.  |
