We just got off Symphony. Everything from our experience lines up with the other two people that already posted about it. Things fill up quick day 1! We were in a frenzy booking everything on the app as soon as we got on the ship Wi-Fi. We went straight to Adventure ocean to book for our baby and tits program just before 1pm and we were the first ones there. They limit your initial booking to 10 hours so everyone has a fair shot and they open up more hours later but if you try to wait until day of you probably won’t find any availability.

We were never invited and had to make reservations for our visits. The reservation could only be made once at a time and only for dinner in the Junior suite. Junior suite guest reservations are first come first serve so you may not always get it. We ate there the first couple nights but gave up after that. The first night we couldn’t get anywhere near the time we wanted.

We sail the 19th and just won ours yesterday

Your package is tied to your state room so your card will let them know that you have that package. You have the special cup to use for the machines but you don’t need those in the dining room for instance.

We weren’t doing much browsing on their website for information as it was so far out. We were going by when they sent us information via email. When I reached out we were originally told that did not apply to children ineligible for the vaccine so we thought our 7 month old infant was excluded. They said “kids” not “babies” or “infants”. Turns out that was wrong. Royal’s excursions are all booked. There are only a couple still available but they have age restrictions which we couldn’t bring an infant.

There is a CVS as someone mentioned. You will need to schedule an appointment. I have also seen the tents set up around town and they are usually pretty empty. There are a ton of urgent cares you can get testing from too without an appointment. To name a few: Instant Medical Care Broward Medical and Urgent Care Holy Cross Urgent Care

Are they enforcing check in times? We did online checkin but didn’t get a good time scheduled (1:30) and considered showing up a little early.

We cruise in 2 weeks. I’m super bummed to hear about show cancellations. I’ve been checking daily for the reservations to open up only to learn they don’t anymore. For the ones that will be on, does booking open up once you’re on the ships WiFi? Any space or hour limitations on the nusury hours? We are stressing that we won’t be able to book any hours for her at all so we have no idea what to expect since it’s our first cruise with a child. She’s under 1yo. We also just learned we can’t leave the ship with her without booking an excursion but everything is already booked. The timing of the information absolutely sucks. They tell you nothing! Thanks for any advice you post. Definitely will be following this chat!
