Symphony of the seas

[SE fla]

When do the rooms open up on departure day?

[marktwothousand]

This^^. I want to know the same thing 

[Bronx12]

On Serenade of The Seas in September, the rooms opened at 1:00pm, the latest we have ever had rooms open was 1:30pm 🙂

Typically 1:30

We sailed on 10/16 and it was 2p.

I'm on Symphony B2B2B now. Cabins have been available at 1 pm, but that can fluctuate.

Sorry to hijack the thread but if you are on Symphony now for B2B, can you comment on how crowded the ship is and any chance guest services knows how many are on the next sailing? (We board on Saturday)

3748 last cruise, 3650  this cruise, but no word on next week. I'll  ask if they know.

We're on Symphony Dec 11th for the 1st time.  So they are sailing at about 50% capacity?  Is it still difficult to get a chair by the pool?  Is it difficult to get reservations for the show or speciality dining.  Can't wait for Dec 11th.

I'm on that sailing as well. First time also. Was hoping for less than 3,000.  But, still plan to have a good time. 😁

3,650-3,748 on Symphony is well over 50% sailing.   I was on Oasis in Sep and Oct and the average was about 2,400.  Loved it.

The chair hogs are out in force so it may be difficult to get a chair by the pool on sea days. We were able to get our desired specialty restaurant ressies on boarding day. We were only able to get ressies for two of the seven bookable shows when we tried upon boarding the first week.

 

I asked guest services and they advised they won't know the expected count for next week until day seven. 3900 (58%) were booked for this current week and 3650 showed.

 

Have fun on your cruise!

Got off Symphony on Saturday after a B2B. Rooms were ready both weeks at 1pm. First week was 42% capacity, second was close to 50%. Didn't have any trouble finding a chair by the pool. I'm sure this will change as the number of guests increase.

Book your shows as soon as the reservations become available. If you wait you won't get a reservation but may be able to get in the stand by line. We didn't have any issues with dining reservations.

On February 19, on the app once you’re on the ship’s wifi, or in person/by phone once you’re on board.
 

You can’t book shows in advance under the current protocols.

[Maitaivegas]

I’m cruising 1/29/22 and I am afraid my cruise will be at full double occupancy.

I guess the mask stays on all the time .

Just asked and was told by guest services that 3783 are booked for tomorrow's sailing. We'll  see how many show.

Awesome,. thank you so much for asking! I am a bit surprised, the "booked" is lower than your current sailing. Hopefully it won't feel crowded, I expect we will end up with 3300 - 3500 on the ship.

Cruising dec. 4.  Can you tell me who the cruise director is?
