Lobster Night On A Cruise - SYMPHONY OF THE SEAS REVIEW

 

Day 6 of our  Southern Caribbean Cruise on Symphony of the Seas was a sea day and realizing the cruise was quickly winding down we had a few more spots on the ship to tick off our list before the highly anticipated lobster night on a cruise. 

In This Post:

• Breakfast at Johnny Rockets
• Water Slides & Flow Rider
• El Loco Fresh Mexican
• The Royal Night Dinner

 

​Breakfast at Johnny Rockets 

Johnny Rockets on Symphony of the Seas

​Johnny Rockets is a fun old fashioned American Diner styled specialty restaurant on Royal Caribbean cruise ships, but not many people realize that on Oasis Class Ships you can eat breakfast for free at Johnny Rockets! 

​Check out the Johnny Rockets menu on Symphony of the Seas here
​

Coffee and Orange Juice

​They really lean into the old school diner vibes with the plastic coffee mugs and the huge glasses of 'orange juice'. I recommend sharing a glass if you order it as it's just a LOT of juice.  :)

Eggs "My Way"

Breakfast and a Show

​We were delighted by the show the Johnny Rockets crew put on during our breakfast! Nothing like a surprise break out into song and dance!

Afternoon Water Slides and Flow Rider

The final sea day on a cruise is a last call to cram in all the fun ship activities you haven't done yet, or haven't done enough because it was so fun. So for us we needed to do some serious waterslide time and some flow rider time. 
​

Racing Water Slides

Here is a good view of all the slides (aside from Ultimate Abyss the dry slide) on Symphony of the Seas. You can see the Blue and Yellow slides which you can race your friends on if you want.

And on the right you can see the green/yellow "toilet bowl" water slide. 

Symphony of the Seas Dueling Water Slides

The toilet bowl slide

​The toilet bowl slide, as it's affectionally called, drops you into a bowl before you finish the slide and depending on your speed you may loop around the bowl multiple times quickly before finishing the ride. 

And as you can see in these pictures, there is actually a "see-through" section on some of the slides so if you keep an eye out you can catch a glimpse of your loved ones as they shoot down the water slides!
​

Above you can see the splashes are pretty great whether you shoot down the yellow/blue slides or the toilet bowl slide. 

Which would you try?!

Rainbow on a Cruise SHip

We were delighted to catch a rainbow at sea just over the pool deck before grabbing a quick bite for late lunch.

El Loco Fresh Mexican Lunch

El Loco Fresh is a popular Mexican casual dining restaurant on Symphony of the Seas. It's a free restaurant and great for grabbing a quick bite. 

You can grab a quesadilla or premade burrito or you can DIY you own plate with an assortment of rice, meat, beans, taco shells, tortilla chips and so on. 

There is also a bar with lovely fresh toppings including various salsas, pico de Gallo, delicious guacamole, and a huge display of hot sauces. 
​

There is also a section with little desserts like this chocolate cake topped with caramel topped with chocolate mouse that I think would be a great dessert to make for a party in individual cups. A future recreated recipe for Inspired By Travel for sure. 

And they always have plastic cups filled with cut up fruit - watermelon, honeydew, and cantaloupe. This is one of my favorite features of El Loco Fresh.

Pro Tip: I would often grab a cup of fruit and bring it to the fridge of my stateroom and when I wanted a healthy fresh snack I didn't have to go anywhere! :)

After Dinner Drinks at Vintages

If ever there is a night to splash out for a drink on a cruise it's formal night!

​We went to Vintages in Central Park where they have a great collection of scotches to try including Travelers Editions you can only buy or taste on a Royal Caribbean Cruise. 

Macallan on Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship

And what better way is there to end an evening in a park, on a cruise ship, sipping Macallan and playing chess at this adorable mosaic table?
