The Logbook — Real Guest Soundings

4.3 ★ out of 5 Solo cruiser • Symphony of the Seas • 2024

The thermal suite cruise pass was the best $200 I spent on the ship. Every sea day I spent an hour on those heated loungers reading my book. So peaceful with the ocean views. Book a massage on port day — I got 15% off and had the spa to myself.
