Creator's Key Takeaways

the food tonight guys I enjoyed it so much and we just kept ordering it and they kept bringing it which was absolutely excellent

I am absolutely sitting here totally sure on the fact that I have experienced a significantly better meal than what I would have had if I'd eaten in the main dining room tonight

the staff were excellent so our waiter tonight was absolutely brilliant

I think that what we've had tonight is definitely worth that

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Consider booking specialty dining in advance for pre-crew savings
โœ“Try multiple starters and mains as part of the cover charge
โœ“Compare specialty dining quality to the main dining room to assess value

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Welcome back to my channel, and my ongoing series from Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas cruise ship. It's widely known that Symphony is one of the largest cruise ships on the planet (or the waves...!), and she certainly delivers from a 'dining offering' point of view. Onboard, you're going to find TEN additional charge restaurants on offer (11 if you include Starbucks, but I haven't as it's more of a cafe...). In total, you'll find (in addition to the complimentary Main Dining Room): Chops Grille, Jamie's Italian, Wonderland, Izumi, 150 Central Park, Hooked Seafood, Vintages Wine Bar, the Solarium Bistro, Playmakers and Johnny Rockets. In this video (and the next one), let me show you one of the restaurants onboard, to hopefully help you understand what a dining experience onboard one of these hugely impressive cruise ships looks like. We're going to visit Jamie's Italian in this episode, which is based out in the Central Park neighborhood of the ship. Let me show you what we order, what the restaurant ambience looks like, and provide a review on our meal and overall experience. In this video, I'm joined by Cruising Tips Pete, who I was onboard with for the whole week, so keep watching for more videos of us sampling Symphony's Speciality Dining offering.
