YouTube Video Description

Boarding day for Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas. We stayed at the Homewood Suites in Dania Beach before heading to Port Everglades to check in, board, and explore Symphony. We're so excited she's going to be sailing out of Bayonne this year. #royalcaribbean #symphonyoftheseas #royalcaribbeancruise #cruise #embarkationday 00:00 - Introduction 01:40 - Homewood Suites Room Tour 03:10 - Port Everglades/Boarding 09:50 - Windjammer Buffet 11:23 - Jr. Suite Chilling 13:53 - Central Park 18:52 - Coastal Kitchen Dinner 19:22 - HIRO Aquatheater Show Intro 25:35 - Balloon Street Party & Balloon Drop 28:31 - Cruise Compass Day 1
