Shows on Symphony of the Seas

[webstud]

We'll be sailing on Symphony in 11 days. Our itinerary is St Martin, St Thomas and Coco Cay the last day. The shows are not listed on the Royal mobile app. Does anyone know if the Royal app updates and includes the entertainment, before you get on the ship? We don't want to wait to get on the ship and then spend a lot of time trying to figure out show times and how that fits into our dinner. We're trying to plan show times and then when we get on the ship, make the reservations. I can't find an up to date Cruise Compass and show times, and someone mentioned on another thread they change from week to week so you can't go by them alone. It's frustrating (as I like to plan ahead) not being able to see the entertainment on the mobile app, just a 1 1/2 weeks out.

Change sailings and select the current sailing to give you an idea of showtimes

We are on her the 17th and I've been trying to find out this exact same question.  I understand that things can change, however, I don't feel that they would change that drastically.  Hoping someone with knowledge will chime in.

The sailing on Sept 3 should have the same itinerary as you.  On Sept 3rd use the app  and go to that sailing and look at the times.  doubtful they will change from that for your sailing

The headliners don't show before your cruise.

How can you change sailings?  They don't have a reservation for an earlier cruise.  The app only shows your reservation.

go to your person icon on the app then choose "select different sailing.  from there select "ships we support, click on Symphony then select whatever sailing you like

\

You can look at the app for any ship that is supported and any sailing

Unfortunately it does not list times for shows in the Royal Theater or for Hiro, Ice show and others. It shows most of the other events but not for the big events. I wish they would post. It would make it easier to plan things.

I did this and it still doesn't show the main shows... BUT... I put in the current sailing of 8/27 (not the same itinerary) and the main shows and times do show up!! So, it looks like if you wait until 9/3, the day they are sailing, then change to that sailing, you'll be able to see the ALL of the shows and times for the week. I'll see on Sat 9/3. Thanks!!

Yes, you will have to wait for Sept 3 when that sailing boards for the shows to be active

Go to that sailing on Sept 3 once it sails and they will all show.

Interesting that there's no 5pm shows. If you have 8pm dinner, you have to go to the 10:30pm shows. I like eating late, but I'm tired after that and don't want to go to shows at 10:30. I guess that's why I've never really seen the shows on any of my cruises. It would be nice if they had pre-dinner show times instead of only post-dinner showtimes.

 

 I have the dining package for my next cruise so hopefully I can work around it, but that probably means I need to start being an early eater, assuming I can get an early dining time. What would that even be, 5:30pm?

[JamesEM]

I'm also sailing on the 10th and doing a b-3-b, thanks for the information.

Here are a couple schedules that might help. I always like to know when to make dinner reservations and showtimes as well. Will be on Symphony this Saturday.

Thank you so much for this.  I do this threw the app that we check in on?

Yes, through the app

[cruisegal40]

I can only see my cruise. Am I missing something? Thanks for your patience.

When you are in the app, click on the person icon. Then hit "select a different sailing". It will look up your cruise but scroll down to the bottom and select "Get more details on ships we support." Scroll through and select "Symphony." There you see a headline that says "Select a Sailing." there you can find the week that you are interested in.
