Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm currently onboard Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas as part of spending this year living mostly on cruise ships.

I have just seen my next cruise ship so I thought that was funny because the Toscana must be here for an overnight tonight.

This is going great the only the only down inside and generous autocraticism obviously not a criticism of the cruise line but there's nothing to eat or drink in the terminal which is annoying.

I am Mega impressed with this room those of you that don't know I've kind of partnered up before stuff in the next couple of cruises.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check your cruise dates carefully to avoid unexpected back-to-back situations.
Use the welcome aboard meeting to settle nerves, especially if you're a solo traveler.
Download the ship map and daily schedule from the welcome kit for easy navigation.

YouTube Video Description

#symphonyoftheseas #royalcaribbean #costacruises #costacrociere #cruisevlog Welcome back to my channel! In this video, things get pretty interesting when I forget I’ve got a cruise to board that day…! How did I do this? Well, let me explain! I’m currently onboard Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas as part of spending this year living mostly on cruise ships. Between most of my ships, I’ve got a night or two ‘on land’, often due to ship schedules. This time, I thought I had one night in the city of Barcelona to look forward to, and so had planned fully for this. However, when I went a walk after breakfast at the Windjammer (Royal’s buffet), I realised I’d got my dates completely mixed up, and Costa Toscana was docked in Barcelona TODAY. In this video, I’m going to show you what it’s like to disembark from Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas, one of the largest cruise ships on the planet, and also embark Costa Toscana, the new flagship from Costa Cruises. I’ve previously cruised on Costa (in my last vlog series) onboard Costa Diadema, but Costa Toscana is apparently very different, so let’s get onboard and see for ourselves…!
