[quote=Anonymous]We went on Symphony over the holidays.  This was the 3rd time for us on an Oasis class ship.  My kids love this class of ship as there is so much to do!

Keep checking the cruise planner for the entertainment.   When it opens, book it as they fill up quickly.  If you are not able too, you can still see the show - however, you may have to wait in line until they open it up to people with out reservation.    Assuming the shows don't change, we really enjoyed Hairspray.   The ice skating show and flight show really didn't make sense and may or may not be worth your time.  Highly recommend the water show, Hiro. This one is tricky as it gets canceled frequently due to weather conditions.

Some things such as ice skaiting and laser tag can only be reserved onboard.  So, as soon as you're on the ship - get on to their wifi (even if you don't get the wifi package) and reserve a spot.  My kids really enjoyed both.

Dining - we did the set dining at 5:30.  Honestly, pretty early, bu it made going to shows and doing other things easier.  You could do the my time dining, but there may be a wait.    We did two speciality restaurants  - Jaime Oliver and the Japanese one.  We did Jaime at lunch and Japanese at dinner.  We got a 40% off for Jaime  Oliver, so it wasn't too bad.   The Japanese was good, but not sure if I would pay regular price for it.    Overall, I felt the food was repetitive.  Maybe because it was our 7th cruise on RC.

One thing with RC - keep checking the prices of excursions, dining, etc.  if they go down in price, cancel it and re-book it.  You can do all of it online.   You can also do this with the cruise fare, but you need to call and do this or have your travel agent do it for you.    I was able to reprice it several times and saved over $1000 from when I originally booked in April to our sailing in December.
