Symphony - Pre-Opening Sailing

I have booked to go on the very first Symphony sailing on March 31st which is marketed as pre-opening.

This was on impulse but now I am starting to get nervous about finding myself on a building site. Any ideas on what I should expect? Anyone else booked on this cruise?

Your fellow cruisers are conversing on the Roll Call thread here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2559099

Thanks Bob. I will take a look.

Chatter on roll call thread suggests that people booked on the cruise expect to be fully operational. I suspect a lot of people will be reporting disappointment if it isn't.

You're welcome, and good luck on the cruise.

Lots of dissatisfaction with first Harmony cruises

I'm on that sailing, and as I see it, I'm prepared to bear the smell of paint and a little inconvenience for the price I paid.

My expectations are not excessive, my main concern is that the shows may not be ready, but even if I'm watching previews/rehearsals, I'll be happy.

They have learnt their (expensive) lesson from Harmony.

This first Symphony cruise is clearly being marketed as a pre-opening cruise; therefore they have a clear get out if things are not fully operational. They call it the 'biggest dress rehearsal at sea' where you can 'access rehearsals'

I personally would not expect everything to be up and running.
