Thank you, Terry! We've seen far too few posts from those on Symphony and we pine for news.

Re new ships - typical Crystal (that we LOVE) but never in our lifetime, which is getting shorter! We'll never see the new ships but would be happy to sail on the "old ships"!

That 18 days sure went by fast! Totally enjoyed your commentary and pictures, thank you! Safe travels back to Sydney.

Lovely pictures! We met Benjamin on our first Symphony cruise in 1999! We went to the pool and he offered us refreshment, we asked for water, and he returned and used our names. To this day I don't know how he knew our names! He is the best!

Ooops, guess I was focused on your sea day!

Waterside closed for lunch on a sea day? Hmmm

Have a great time! Wish we were there too!

For some of us, FIVE minutes is a big deal!

50? minutes?!! Aaarrrggghhh😱 NOway for us, a taxi or bust.

What a great write-up, thank you, Terry! And such great pictures too! You've made us homesick for our favorite ship😎

I know that.

You mean those cheesy flimsy things that are fine for laundry but not much else? What about a nice real live tote like they used to give?

OC used to grant discounts and upgrades to those already booked.

Hmmm...nice and I hope this doesn't mean '24 bookings are way lower than expected. Obviously trying to generate bookings. Would love to accept!

Beware the chair hogs who arrive at sun up and claim chairs in the shade that they don't visit till much much later!

I remember once there was a major fusspot at table next to us. She ordered dessert after dessert after dessert and sent them all back with a cringe. Then out came the jello and she was in heaven. We were shocked!

We had a group of 9 on Symphony and Remi put us at an oval table which gave us all just enough space.

I find lamb as easy as steak. I would happily share if you put an email address here...

Good question for onboard guest services or your TA.

Hard not to when you’re handicapped..

Those columns are just the worst, and I question why they need to be so intrusive. I'm sure the actual supports are similar to a lolly column, which is much smaller in diameter, so the huge enclosure is strictly for a "look". Unfortunately they make it impossible for anyone in a wheelchair or scooter or even a walker to get past them so friends with wheelchair either say goodbye at the entrance or we go somewhere else. Maybe reconfigure the bar? I wish they would consider redecorating the columns as well as the furniture, which I file under "gawdawful".

Yes.

Tracie may never have seen it but it was there before she was on the scene. I saw it with my own eyes.

I think someone asked "was there EVER" and the answer is YES.

That's probably why it was discontinued!
