We were in Cozumel two years ago and had one of these really tasty blue shots. Trouble is neither DW or I know what they are called. Do any of you??

 

At the start of each stop they told us the name and what was in each shot, sadly I didn’t take notes. Was lucky I remembered my own name. 😜

 

Indeed they were really good though.

I just spent the last hour and a half reading through your review.  It was great,  thank you for doing this.  As fate would have it,  my BIL and sister messaged me today about going on the Symphony in November.... 

 

Thanks for reading along! November is the perfect time of year to cruise too, go for it and book, you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you so much for the amazing review and pictures! What a wonderful tribute to your friend. I appreciate you taking the time to share your trip with us and providing such great information. Looking forward to my own Symphony experiencing in about 46 days. Thank you again!

 

Thanks for reading along! You’re in for an amazing cruise! You won’t be disappointed, this ship is amazing, wish I was going back on her sooner than later.

DH and I were on this sailing....and all the friends we sailed with and us had a great time.  Whatever disappointing things happened (shows that had to be cancelled due to weather or technical difficulties) did not dampen the overall fun and enjoyment.  The Solarium on Symphony is much improved over Harmony, from my POV.  

 

Agree with the change in show times was no big deal, I’ve gotten kind of used to any aqua show changing. The way we were rocking those first couple days I said to myself the aqua show will get rescheduled and sure enough it was. 

 

Agree with you on Solarium, liked the one on Symphony better than Harmony.

 

Glad you had an amazing cruise. Now onward to that next cruise! 😀

We are finally underway. A little delayed as some folks seem to think the all aboard is just a suggestion not a must do. 😀

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was a post yesterday on YouTube or FB that showed a young couple of pier runners missing the ship.  Taken from the ship docked next to you.  They got there just after the gangway was removed and the thrusters were starting.  Guy was yelling at the crew on the flying bridge, who looked like they were saying "Sorry, too late". Folks on balconies waving bye-bye.

Wonderful review, Sir.  Thanks for sharing.

Yeah sadly what started as a good day for them turned into a sad day very quickly. Hopefully they made it back to the US alright.

Next cruise. Hope your cruise was well. Though we could have met and didn’t know it. 😀

I really enjoyed your review! DH & I are trying to decide which ship to book next, Harmony, Allure or Symphony. After seeing your wonderful pictures i am pushing for Symphony. I really like the looks of the Solarium.

Solarium is beautiful on Symphony. Either way no matter which Oasis class ship you choose you will have a wonderful time. If you haven’t already Check out my old reviews for Oasis and Harmony. (Listed at start of review) 

 

Have a super cruise in whichever ship you decide.

Thankyou for this fantastic review!! We are sailing June 1st and tried finding good pics of the location of our board walk balcony. I found one video of 10729 and that was taken so I got 9729 at the very end near the rock wall, it says views are obstructed but your pics look ok to me. I love your views of the board walk and I hope I am happy with that room. I didn't book Hiro yet because I wanted to just catch a glimpse from the room. We love people watching. How was the noise for you?

Isn't it a cool view, I felt kinda foolish trying to grab a quick picture before I went down the slide, but knew it had to be done. I was as quick as possible. Glad you liked. Thanks for following along! 🙂

Thanks, glad you liked the review. Noise in general wasn't to bad. But you can hear the sound affects from the slide when folks are sliding it. When the shows are going on you can hear some, but the doors do really well for the most part in reducing the overall noise. If there is any noise from the shows its over by midnight.

 

Have a super cruise, know you'll have an amazing time. This cruise is simply amazing.

Lunch today was at Chops.






Mushroom soup. Now this was the best mushroom soup I’ve had in a long time. It even topped the many I had on Oasis this past November and Harmony this past September. Not sure what they did differently but it surely was the best.





Some tiny shrimp





Steak



Chocolate cake

It is at a reduced price than what it costs for supper but the menu options are also reduced.

 

It is included with the purchase of "The Key"

 

May be included if you purchase the Ultimate Dining Package.

It is free as in part of the now “Unlimited Dining Package” for day one and sea days. 

 

Its also part of the Key day one with a different menu.
