Charter Group cruises

[Tntt]

I am getting ready to book a 4 night cruise on the symphony of the seas but many frequent cruisers are telling me that this might be a group cruise sailing that is why it is only 4 nights when most oasis class ships are 7 nights and that I might need to do my homework before I book because large charter cruises can ruin your cruise experience. Royal Caribbean will not tell me if this is a charter cruise and I'm nervous because this is our first cruise and I have heard some horror stories from people that have had to be on a cruise with a large charter group. Does anyone know what I can do to find this info out?

You can try doing an internet search using the full name of the ship and the sailing date in different forms.

What date?

 

If you’re talking about November 9th this year don’t worry. That is a 4 day cruise because it’s the first cruise from the US after Symphony does her TA from Europe. They simply made a short cruise to get her set up on her regular 7 day schedule.
