Creator's Key Takeaways

we've been on many cruises the past few years and we almost always have a pretty good time no matter what happens

the first thing that we hated was the lack of Windows practically anywhere you sit on that ship there's there's no windows

what we loved about Symphony Of The Seas is the ship itself yeah it was just an amazing ship

YouTube Video Description

We just did a late October cruise on Royal Caribbean's SYMPHONY OF THE SEAS from New Jersey to the Bahamas, and while overall we had a nice time there are definitely aspects of this cruise that stand out as being something we LOVED or HATED! We get a lot of HEAT when we make these videos from people saying we are too negative and we should just be grateful to be on a cruise vacation....and WE ARE GRATEFUL! Cruising is the absolute best! And while we are fortunate enough to be able to go on multiple cruises a year, some people aren't, and are looking to YOUTUBE to make the best most informed decision for their personal vacation needs! That's why we are blunt and sugar coat....NOTHING! Also, please note, this is just our experience coming from our personal preferences.. Some people may have had different experiences. It's all good! #royalcaribbeancruises #royalcaribbeancruiseship #symphonyoftheseas We are Laurie & Gary a married couple that both have a passion for Cruise Ship Travel!
