Creator's Key Takeaways

I personally found ice-skate 2.0 to actually be a bit better than 1.0

it was a very hot day out today at least the Sun felt very hot and it was sunny with a little bit of cloud cover

the pool deck did get a little bit of crowd at each individual pool not a full crowd or even a partial crowd just a couple people at every pool spread out around the deck

I guarantee that you will enjoy this beautiful ship it's it's an amazing ship it's our newest ship it's our largest ship in the world

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get up early to see the port arrival if you want to catch the view
Consider the Windjammer for dessert as it had more elaborate options than the main dining room

YouTube Video Description

This is the 4th episode of theCruiseView's sailing onboard the Symphony of the Seas. After crossing the Atlantic for 13 nights on the Harmony of the Seas we join her younger and slightly larger sister just after she completed her own journey home to the USA. Unlike my other videos that feature the ship and let you enjoy the experience of being at sea without interruption, theCruiseView is a guided tour of the daily happenings during the cruise. This sailing features the Symphony of the Seas as she sets out on a 7 night Eastern Caribbean sailing. Over the course of these 7 episodes you will get to see in detail every Cruise Compass, every main dining room menu, and all the happenings onboard during this special sailing. This series will take you into the day to day experience of being onboard the Symphony of the Seas with over 6,000 guests to experience every moment of life at sea and every festivity along the way. On today's episode we visit our first port of call with an empty day in St. Maarten. We have a full night of entertainment with the premiere of iSkate 2.0 and a few showings of Hiro. Plus the Symphony goes all the way back to the 80's again with The Greatest 80's Party Ever in the Royal Promenade. I also got to sit down with Captain Rob Hempstead on the bridge to discuss his duties onboard and the various protocols that are followed when operating a ship both at sea and in port.
