Two for one cocktails in Wonderland on several nights. No charge breakfast at Johnny Rockets. Absolutely fantastic burger at Playmakers. If they have the parade go up early to Schooners and get a table on the railing, if schooners is full go across to the photo center for a great view.

On the main RCI site, there's a drop down with the ships listed, including Symphony - that will give you all of the Symphony related threads.

Do they have this on all ships?

 

I saw the ice show - must have been 15 years ago on Adventure of the Seas. It was fun and charming and the production values were amazing. And it was on a ship!

These classes have the ice shows:

 

Voyager (Voyager, Explorer, Adventure, Navigator,  Mariner)

Freedom (Freedom, Liberty, Independence)

Oasis (Oasis, Allure, Harmony, Symphony, Wonder)

Be sure to check out the beautiful Central Park early on your cruise. The Park cafe(no Charge) serves breakfast and lunch daily with some nice choices. Also great for an afternoon snack when returning from port.

 

There is nightly music ranging from classical to jazz. A nice place to have a drink and relax. This is also where many of the specialty restaurants are.

 

Symphony is my favorite ship, you'll love her.

I am going on Symphony in January, “Hairspray” sold my DD on this ship.

I will post pics and things we did when I get back- my DD wants to do everything including the flo rider and zip line. I will be watching her with a drink 🥰

Mine will be based on someone with limited mobility and getting around the ship.
We both love trivia- I know the most useless facts and DD is great on music trivia.

Happy Cruising

I just booked the Symphony for Dec 11th.  It's our 1st time on Symphony.  We have an ocean balcony on deck 8.  It will be so convenient to Central Park.  I'm so excited to be cruising again.

Enjoy! Be sure to check out Solarium Bistro, great for a quiet breakfast.

Can you do this? I heard you can only book each show 1 time

the app didn't allow us to book anything twice. Besides, the shows were all booked literally within hours of boarding.

[broadwaybaby123]

The Ice Show is a MUST!  I saw it on Adventure, my friend who has been on Adventure 6 times suggested it to me.  Get there early, I'm talking about a half hour early MINIMUM as they are usually PACKED for that show!

i guess thats a suite perk then. and with increasing capacity seems like you need that kind of access to make sure you get the things you want booked

No, you can't book any of the shows more than once.  Star Class Genies likely can get passengers in more than once but it is not an option for others.

Don't forget to head to parks cafe in the central park for their famous roast beef sandwich after you board the ship

Are all the ice shows the same on all Oasis class ships?
