Could you show us how the sofa bed opens up? I'd like to see the trundle set up...

 

They are most likely in a double occupancy room that just has the sofa.

Oh right. I forgot about that. Darn.

following:   I was at my condo on the beach yesterday  and watched the Symphony, NCL, and Carnival sail off in the sunset.  Had a big smile on my face as I am now getting ready to board her when you guys return on Saturday.  Your pictures are amazing.

Symphony is now at top of my favorites list of Royal ships. Overtook my previous favorite which was Anthem. Will of course still cruise with Royal on their other ships but I am now spoiled. (We were in 2 story suite.) First day back after a cruise always tough - no great food everywhere...

Happy Birthday!  How big is the closet compared to a similar room on the Allure or Oasis?

Today we spent the morning in Nassau. Wandered to the straw market so Marie could buy a few things.

After returning were stopped in Next Cruise to book the next two birthday cruises for 2020 and 2021. Then were headed top Johnny Rockets for lunch. That made us late for the Meet and Mingle. Got there just add it was ending.

Wow, meal at Hooked looked good. Can't wait to eat there in three weeks! Looking like a super start for a perfect week.

Finishing up the day. Formal night and my birthday so we dressed up and went to Jamie's Italian restaurant. They brought me a birthday cake after dessert so we took it to the cabin.
Stopped at the casino and it was brutal again tonight. My twenty was gone in 2 minutes.

Got a bottle of champagne for my birthday from the Next Cruise people.

We had breakfast at Johnny Rockets this morning. Nice to sit out on the Boardwalk in the morning.

 

Mid morning was the Top Tier event in the Aqua Theater.

 

There was a short celebration of the captain's 25 Anniversary with Royal.

Loving your review.

We have BOGO and was on the fence about Jamie's. But from your pictures it looks really good!  You enjoyed?

 

Also good to know that you got good seats for  Hairspray lining up 40 min early.

Bill, thanks for the photo — sorry I didn’t pose for you, lol!  Captain Rick is one of my very favorite Captains.  I was so glad to see him honored yesterday!

 

I hope you enjoyed Hairspray as much as I did (saw it the first night).  Last night I saw 1977, the Ice Show.  Also very good. All the shows so far have beenexcellent!

Agree re Capt. Rick! Great guy! We were onboard last week. We did not see Hairspray this last time as we have seen it before on a Royal ship.Because there was a rain out one night for HIRO they had to make up the performances and did not do “Aquanation” (the water show where reservations are not required.) We saw HIRO, FLIGHT, 1977 and ice skate 2.0 (no reservations for that one needed.) We also saw the. comedians on board doing the adult comedy shows in The Attic - Simeon Kirkiles and Steve McGrew. We laughed so much we went a second time!
