How long are you waiting to get in, to get food, etc., during meal times? It's so weird how some people find a ship really crowded and others don't. I was on Symphony at capacity and I never felt like it was too crowded. Strange. Ya, expectation play a big part. But no lounge chairs at 60% is surprising. Mostly very few lines but a few 10min waits for windjammer, sorrento,bar,cafe prom. Had entire breakfast without waiter passing by for coffee and such. We make the best of it though.

All Hiro shows have been cancelled so far...hopefully will be able to attend Friday. Book them all by suppertime on day 1 or they'll be full. So do you book before or not? You said make a reservation day 1 and at the bottom of the "Shows at a Glance" is says reservations not required. Which is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorCruiser Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 I am wondering if the service issues some have been experiencing is related to the general labor shortage issues plaguing every industry or if it just individual situations. I cant say I have had bad service yet since the restart (which involves a sample size of 1 on Odyssey). thoughts anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bwest001 Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Any idea of what the minimum bets are for the table games in the casino and how crowded it’s been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ice shows and comedy in the smaller venue does sell out. We did Hiro on day 1. I would definitely recommend this, as shows get canceled based on weather. This way if day 1 gets canceled, you can try to see Hiro a different night. That will be the show most likely canceled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have a sign pointing you where to go on the promenade. They used the On Air Club, i believe, while we were there. I saw the line of people doing that on the first day. I preferred to sit in a lounge chair by the pool and do it on the app. I've heard of people doing it in the terminal, before they walked on the ship. I didn't try that. mamie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Jay Jay, hope your daughter is feeling better, and was able to enjoy the cruise. We’re sailing next week, so I was wondering if there were any Covid cases onboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on Symphony 2/12-19 and the food at both the CK and the specialty restaurants was the most mediocre to bad that we’ve ever had on a cruise. I even spent 2 nights sick after eating …….. once from I think the tuna tartare in Chops which did taste a bit off and I didn’t finish it …… and once after eating at Izumi. Strange, food was always great... I was on Symphony 2 yrs ago and on Oasis in October, food was awesome. Do you have cruise compass from February 12th?

I was on Symphony at capacity and I never felt like it was too crowded. Strange. Exactly... I've been on Symphony and Harmony before covid, at normal capacity. Close to full. Didn't feel crowded? If course had all reservations done. I'm guessing people without reservations felt like a nightmare. And before and after my cruise read so may online saying they couldn't get into any shows that they wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens when the excursion with unvaxxed children is over? Can we stay longer at the port or we must go back to the ship right away?

Pooch Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 No hard information but my guess is maybe but only in the immediate port area not outside of it. Colombia20102018 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francisco Fraile Posted April 8, 2023 Report Share Posted April 8, 2023 Hello. My family and I will sail at symphony of the seas on May 7th from Barcelona. One of the activities that we are most excited is laser tag but checking the activities there is no announcement of this. Could you confirm if there will be laser tag in that week at Symphony? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francisco Fraile Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Hello, I will be sailing on May 7th from Barcelona and in my cruise planner does not show "Battle for Z planet. Laser Tag".

It had to be reserved the first day. You could not just line up and get to participate when you saw times available in the cruise planner.
