Creator's Key Takeaways
When you step aboard Symphony of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship, you expect a dream vacation.
The original itinerary was designed to take guests south away from the chill of autumn in New York toward the sun soaked Bahamas.
To keep everyone safe, Royal Caribbean made a bold and unexpected change. Instead of sailing south, the ship would turn north.
Now, the massive ship's only remaining stop would be Halifax, turning a 7-day three-port itinerary into a voyage with just one single port of call.
