The ship will feature beefed-up live entertainment, reviving its at-sea version of Hairspray and adding Flight, a Royal Caribbean original about the history of air travel. A new high-diving and acrobatics show will make its debut at the open-air amphitheater. There’s even a high-tech ice-skating show. That’s in addition to the 20-plus restaurants, comedy club, waterslides, surf simulators, zip-line, mini-golf course, and more.
Symphony will spend the summer cruising the Mediterranean; in November it will move on to Miami, its base for weeklong trips through the eastern and western Caribbean.
Cruisers should find a smoother boarding experience, too—Royal Caribbean will let them check in and upload a selfie to the brand’s new mobile app, then go straight to their cabins after passing through security. Finding their way off might prove to be more difficult.
