Are the show seats numbered or you find any seat available?

 

This the first time out of 25 cruises that I had to reserve show seats.

Just discovered your live blog, @BirdTravels, and am all caught up! Thank you for all of the screen grabs, photos, and information, I hope you and your family enjoy your final sea day aboard Symphony 🙂 When is your next cruise?

First come first serve. No reserved seats. 

 

It is the same on any mega ship on any cruise line. The logistics are that the theater (between the orchestra and balcony) holds 1700 people. If all 6500 guests were to show up for a show, there would be mass chaos. And some venues like the comedy club only hold 200ish people.

Anyone who wants to buy one can

Certain cabins (Suites?) get them for free. We book regular balconies and buy them

How much are these for regular people in normal rooms, not splurging for suites and above?

 

Ive never been on a ship that has these. Do you have to take them off or anything to pay for things?

 

 Thanks

$4.95 each. 

 

Scan am to open cabin door

Scan to get in shows

Scan to get to photos

Scan to get to ShoteEx

Scan to make purchases

 

easier to just pull out room key rather than take off band if you can’t get to scanner.

I got a wow band for $4.95 on Harmony.  Maybe they are on all Oasis class now?  Super convenient onboard.  Instead of carrying your card, you can just use the wristband.  You will need to take it off when you pay for drinks.  If you go off the ship, you still need your regular

card to scan off and on.

Several different Escape Rooms are offered on the ship. Join a team to solve the Royal Heist in a complimentary escape room. 

 

You have to solve a series of puzzles to get parts of the final puzzle. 45 minutes to escape or be locked in On Air forever.

On other ships, you’ll find a classic car on the Promenade. On the Symohony, you find a VW Bug, nearly squeezed into a ball.

Flight is a wonderful history of flight in a musical. Flight over time. Music over time. A Must See.

We booked as soon as we boarded (boarded first from the suites embarkation lounge around 11:00 am). We were offered times on all nights. Two nights, the times available were not our first choice (mostly working around show times). The waiters do an amazing job at service when you tell them of a time constraint. 

 

Thanks Bird! Were there any issues getting into the CK? I seem to recall on Harmony, Sea Class cards aren't coded to enter the Suite area, and so JS passengers would have to wait outside until someone happened to exit.

Thank you so much for your detailed posts.

On our 4-nighter, we happened we happened to follow someone in or out and never swiped our sea pass.
