Going to see what crowds are like first. @niksmom630 How were the crowds at Coco Cay? I'm trying to figure out the best option for me and my Dad. I have to keep out of the sun with my medication and my Dad likes to people watch. I thought maybe a Chill Island Cabana would work, just didn't realize they were set so far over. And, the Oasis Lagoon ones seem to be behind a hedge. Maybe it would just be better to find loungers with an umbrella. But, liked the convenience of the coffee table lockers. Thanks again for your excellent review!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were plenty of spots (Loungers with umbrellas) around the pool in the shade. And you are right about the oasis lagoon ones. They are behind a hedge. there are a few areas on the map with lockers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for posting all the pictures. We are not going to cruise until April next year when we do a Barbados to Galveston transition cruise on Grandeur Hi Bill! hope you and Marie are doing well! I’m not out here very often myself, but I’ll have to make a not to make sure I am checking in then! Hope you’ll consider a live report! 🤗 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare niksmom630 Posted September 5, 2021 Author #279 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Last few food photos. 😆 I don’t remember the French onion soup in the MDR looking like this when I’ve ordered it before, but it was very good. Seen to recall them just throwing some croutons on top and it being kind of bland wish you could still get a cheese plate from room service. Well, actually you can during the MDR dinner hours if you are in a suite, because it’s an always available appetizer Best meal of the week was the beef tenderloin, au gratin potatoes. Our waiter also brought us a few lobster tails on the side 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare niksmom630 Posted September 5, 2021 Author #280 Share Posted September 5, 2021 The amount of desserts I ate this week was almost disturbing 😋 thankfully I am only up two pounds from pre cruise weight. Not bad considering how much time I spend traveling via empty elevators 😉 the molten chocolate cake is a winner. also the cherries jubilee was excellent. No photo tho ….. I would like to know what brand of ice cream royal serves, because it’s VERY good. more “birthday” desserts 😏 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hi Walton, how's Marie and have you been back to Hawaii lately? Hi Marie is doing well, thanks for asking. All our Hawaii trips are land trips now. We were supposed to spend a week in Waikiki last month but we cancelled due to the Delta variant. We currently have a week in Maui scheduled for the end of October for our anniversary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikew0805 Posted September 6, 2021 #287 Share Posted September 6, 2021 We were on this sailing as well, thanks for your review. It was nice to be onboard Symphony again. I was told 1577 passengers... it was really nice with that capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missaud Posted September 8, 2021 #289 Share Posted September 8, 2021 We are on the Symphony for New Years. After reading about your cruise, I’m more excited than before! Do you remember if they had any dress for theme nights at dinner or for the evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare perfect match Posted September 8, 2021 #290 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Thanks for doing this great review, @niksmom630! I really enjoyed sailing along with you. Only 4 more days until we board Allure ……… not that I’m counting or anything! 🤣🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namelocg Posted September 8, 2021 #291 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Thanks for the great review. Will be on Symphony on Dec 18th. For those that wanted to know I was on the 8/28 Odyssey sailing. We didn't leave Port Everglades until 9:30 that night due to "techincal difficulties". Still don't know what they were. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiel53 Posted September 9, 2021 #292 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I've enjoyed your review as I am looking forward to sailing on Symphony next month. I may have missed it, but was Playmaker's open for lunch on sea days? We wanted to go there on boarding day so wondered if that were an option. Thanks.

rodenboy Posted September 18, 2021 #293 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Sorry for the delay in responding/bumping up an old thread (hospital stay 🙄) but thank you so much for bringing us with you! It was an emotional read, seeing what the MDR servers were saying. I often do a few specialty dining restaurants but actually I might give some the swerve on my next cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crew has been fabulous and the service amazing. I’m sure they aren’t making the tips they are used to , so I’m happy to oblige by tipping more for this experience.
