How about "A three hour tour"? LOLMy immediate reaction is what fresh hell is this? I'm afraid ships that large are just too big for me. I don't mind a large ship, I just don't like the number of people on the cruise. The biggest ship I've been on is the Liberty of the Seas and its capacity 3600 passengers is 2000 fewer that the Symphony.
Getting on and off of the Liberty was a pain and I'm sure the Symphony would be even worse.
The only thing that appeals to me on those ships are the large climbing walls they have, but that wouldn't be enough to get me to pay for such a cruise. I might take a free cruise on the ship but it would depend on how many days it was out and how many of those were port days.
I've been cruising 10 times and generally like it but don't like going to the same places I've been before so. My favorite cruise was a Celebrity cruise to Antarctica where we cruised along the Antarctic peninsula. However I've loved most of our cruises. My least favorite was two weeks (two separate cruises combined into one) in the Caribbean. It was just a bit too boring overall for me.
For several years that I've been aware of, there have been various viruses and sickness on these cruises. I would never chance it.We took a 7 day cruise, a few years ago, on the Freedom of the Seas. Almost as large as this one. Would love to go one this one, but disease can run rampant on these ships. Not a good time for a cruise.
They are terrible polluters as well.
