Yes, it is from “Flight.” I saw it on Symphony. Really awesome show!

Outside the box thought:   An over-the-side bungee jump from a North Star style arm. A first!

270 is an amazing space but it absolutely sucks as a theatre venue.

I hope that it does have a traditional one. It’s one of my favorite spaces on the ship. Especially on Oasis class

Actually, believe it or not, the new flatter bow design is more efficient

I love the Voyager and Freedom class. Sure they will be small next to an Oasis class ship, but everything would be. Voyager and Freedom class ships are still among the largest ships to date. I do agree with you about the room situation though. The greens and pinks thing that they have going on in the rooms on the older ship are totally out of style and I’m really surprised that they didn’t at least update the carpet and curtains during the amplifications. Sure it would cost a lot more, but so what?

I recently sailed on Symphony of the Seas on the March 26th-April 2nd, 2022 sailing from Port Miami to the Western Caribbean, and one of my main complaints is the how early the pools closed! Does any one know why this is happening? Is it because of a  shortage of lifeguards? My family has taken many Royal Caribbean cruises over the years and I loved being able to sit in the pool or hot tub after dinner and watch movies on the pool deck under the stars. Unfortunately, cruising with my grandfather gave us only one option when it came to dining time (5:30, a.k.a. Senior citizen dining hour) and we always felt like we were cutting our day so short because we had to start getting ready for dinner at about 4:45, then when we came out of dinner around 6:45-7:15 (depending on the night), the pools were all closed! If anyone knows, please tell me! Thanks guys!

Don’t know if you’re much of a FlowRider(er?), but it’s one of my favorite activities onboard. Just got off Symphony about a week ago and the lines were considerably long most days, even with two FlowRiders. My question is: Is the single FlowRider much more crowded? I feel like it was a terrible idea for Royal to ditch the two FlowRiders in order to put in a playground that most of the kids don’t seem to be having fun with. Thanks!

How are the doors? Are they "broken in" yet? I heard many of the cabin doors didn't close unless you pulled/pushed them shut.

I just got off Symphony last week and there were no WOW Bands given to me or any members of my family. I also did not see any other passengers wearing them so I believe they are yet to return to service after COVID. Enjoy your cruise on Symphony! She is wonderful!
