We were on Symphony in January.  Outstanding!  The check in process took less than 10 minutes.  The bars were never packed.  The most we ever had to wait for a drink was a couple of minutes.  Guest services was never crowded.  Get out to the pool chairs early or you'll get shut out of any good spots.  I went out around 8:00 one morning and one side was completely filled.  Unfortunately, you have to play the towel game.  Service was great.  And like Gabe states above, I thought Hooked was, by far, the best restaurant.  If you're a seafood lover, it's a must.  Have fun!

Here is the crawl schedule from Symphony.  To be honest next time I'll remove the pool/mast bar as everyone skips it.

The hard part is keeping people going.  I set a timer and get people moving ahead of schedule and share with the stragglers where we'll be next.  You may want to try adn give the bar managers a heads up if you can.  Sometimes they're helpful with this - sometimes they're not.

Also, big thanks to @BrianAlt (pretty sure I've got the right username for him) for helping me make this more organized a couple years ago by sharing his schedule.

On Symphony in two weeks. Yeah, I’m stealing this. Great idea. 

Thank you. I thought I saw something that you couldn’t. Two weeks away!

Can I use the drink package at Playmaker’s on Symphony?

Hey there - welcome to the boards!  Yes, the deluxe package includes drinks in any venue onboard including the specialty restaurants.  One thing you may want to be aware of is that if you order a drink that costs over $13 on an Oasis class ship, you will be responsible for the overage.  It's very rare to find a drink that is over the $13 - (think higher end scotches or more expensive wines by the glass).

Also, yes!  You can definitely order more than one appetizer. The service is usually spectacular at the specialty restaurants, and the wait staff will usually go above and beyond, so don't be afraid to ask!

Thanks for the info.  Much appreciated. 

Hello everyone,

I’ve been a closet RC Blog follower for a while. Love this site. It’s addicting. This is my first posting. 

We’re going to 150 central on Symphony next month.   We have the deluxe drink package. Does it cover drinks we get in the specialty restaurants?  Also, can you get more than one appetizer? There’s several I want to try. A little over 5 weeks away!!!

Thanks.
