Does Symphony or any other RC ship do one bag one price laundry on one day of cruise?

Just wondering about table games. Does Symphony have a Caribbean poker table?

I would put my adventure hat on, go, and have a good time. I have traveled quite a bit, sometimes with my wife, sometimes alone. I just enjoy both, the people you meet, and the new sights and sounds. Enjoy, sit with a group at dinner, no one is going to not want you there. You'll have a ball

2, 3, 4 and 5 night dining packages as well as the Ultimate Dining Package were available for the Symphony TA in the beginning. The 5 night was gone after a few weeks and the 4 night soon followed suit - I guess Royal reached their cap. I'm guessing your cruise is either too far out to see the packages or they might be sold out.

Complimentary: MDR, Windjammer, Coastal Kitchen (suite guests only), Solarium Bistro, El Loco Fresh, Park Café, Boardwalk Dog House, Sorrentos, Café Promenade

not complimentary: Hooked, Wonderland, Jamie's Italian, Vintages, Chops Grille, 150 Central Park, Playmaker's, Johnny Rockets, Izumi & Izumi Hibachi

Not sure if Vitality Café and the Pub offer some kind of food, if so, I'm guessing it won't be complimentary.

Thank You

Can someone list the dining options on Symphony, and which ones are complimentary, and not? Much appreciated.

Can't find it?

Welcome to the boards! You have found a great, friendly place here to learn about cruising. Don't apologize for asking questions. We're all here to help each other.

In regards to your question, it is likely too early for anything to be in your cruise planner yet.  From past bookings, the earliest I have seen dining released is about 170 days out and entertainment about 160 days out. Sometimes it won't be released until closer to 90 days out. It varies greatly by ship and sailing. Basically you need to keep checking the cruise planner. 

As far as sales go, @Mattdoes a great job posting news of sales on the main blog page. But again, those sales do not apply to all sailings so you will have to again check your cruise planner. In past years, Black Friday sales tend to be the best. You can also buy things and get it repriced if it goes lower as long as you are within 3 days of sailing. Your cruise planner will close at that point.

@twangster also recently did a great live blog from Liberty. You can find it in the live blog section here on the message boards.

Hope that helps a bit ?

Cruise Critic is a good resource as well.

Chose RCL because of Symphony. If it turns out to be nickle and dime, it will be my last. Norwegian has many complimentary after hours restaurants, plus free incentives.

We will be aboard Symphony of the Seas Apr 21-28, 2018.  Does anyone have any suggestions for a tour of Cinque Terra (La Spezia port on Apr 24th) while travelling with a senior who has mobility issues?  She is limited to walking short distances and climbing few steps, but we will be bringing a foldable lightweight wheel chair for easy transport.  We are concerned about rugged terrain and numerous steps to climb in some of the small villages of Cinque Terre.  Greatly appreciate your suggestions.  

I'm not as hindered as your friend seems to be, but I am in my mid 60's and somewhat limited to the elements. You should watch Rick Steeves on You Tube,  on the Cinque. It's quite hilly and a lot of steep walking. We chose the Portofino, Rapallo tour, as it would be less strenuous for us. Check it out on You Tube.

Oh great. My cabin is right above it

Looks like more updates have rolled out to the website.  My cruises are now sorted in a logical order (departure date) and the countdown reappeared.

Working fine for me. Booked everything, and printed out calendar.

I was able to get to the cruise planner from the main login page, but it looks like you have to start from scratch probably because everything has not been moved over. I wish I had screenshots of my calendar for my next cruise. At least I have my email confirmations. Does anyone have fear that previously made reservations will disappear?

All mine did.

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger.........

Surprised that RCL is not responding to the many people who are having web difficulties. I've made several call and emails re: issues, with no answer.

They don’t even answer the email that they set up for C&A help! Or maybe everyone is just emailing them that much that they haven’t gotten back to me since Bayley responded!

I have called and emailed multiple times. Email does not respond, and when calling the reps are surprised when I tell them there's a problem. Poor roll out.

I do not see any RCCL cruise excursions of interest in the Marseilles port. Does anyone know if the cruise port has anything of interest to walk around, each lunch etc.  Looking for suggestions at this port.  We did have a biking tour booked but it was cancelled. - TIA

Depending on when you are traveling, the areas of Provence are beautiful. The Luberon region is one of my favorites.

Reading these comments I'm curious as to the new web site they just released. I had made all my reservations for the shows on an upcoming cruse on the old web. since the new release all my show reservations are gone, and can't see or make any new entertainment,(shows) reservations. I'm wondering now if they pay per show is coming? If so, this will be my last.
