  • e Hey, Hey, guys.

  • I'm Abby and I'm Sophie and were aboard the world's largest cruise ship.

  • Her name is the Symphony of the Seas, and she has a Royal Caribbean ship.

  • So there are 23 dining options aboard this ship, some that are included and some that art.

  • But that can be pretty overwhelming if you only have seven days to eat.

  • We're gonna do our best, though, and we're gonna try as many different dishes as we possibly can this week, and then we'll let you know which dishes are the best.

  • Now it's nearly impossible to try everything on a ship the size of four football fields.

  • So to make sure we didn't miss the good stuff, we did our fair share of research.

  • We scroll through block posts, cruise ship reviews and talk to people on board.

  • My favorite thing in the menus.

  • The magical motion.

  • Most passengers spend the majority of their meal time in the dining halls, since they're included in the cruise ticket.

  • But the dishes people suggested the most weren't in the dining halls.

  • They were signature items, so we picked the most popular dish at eight different eateries.

  • We're gonna try each of them and decide on our favorite.

  • So let's go eat.

  • First up, we've got a local fresh located on the 15th deck.

  • The casual Mexican spot is included in the price of your ticket and serves up nachos, burritos and quesadillas.

  • Buffet style.

  • We went to try the tacos.

  • That block is good.

  • Yeah, What?

  • I like the beef you want to be, I don't know.

  • Like the pork.

  • Honestly, I didn't think like walk sitting out on a cruise outside would be good, but it's really good block.

  • Concerned about that, there's a nice picture.

  • All that tortillas were nothing special, but the meats were surprisingly juicy and had a nice punch in flavor.

  • The fresh topping bar was packed with add ons.

  • Oh yeah, show the world how greedy I am.

  • Over on the 12th deck is the ship's Alice in Wonderland themed restaurant.

  • A meal wonderland costs about $50 a person on top of your ticket, the food is presented in super creative and fun ways.

  • E found these adorable magic mushrooms on Instagram and knew we had to try them.

  • What?

  • Waiting for almond cake in a pistachio white chocolate mousse makes the mushroom top.

  • The red is a peach glaze, and it's served over a dirt of pistachios and red velvet chocolate cake crumbs and comes with a mango sherbert.

  • Yeah, this is very nutty, nutty, but like also spongy, like the combination of the hard macron and then a spongy top.

  • This is super crispy, sugary on delicious to have done a good job with on.

  • Then you can't go wrong with Herbert.

  • Located on the eighth deck.

  • Inside the park is the ship's ritziest restaurant, 1 50 Central Park.

  • Be warned, though this place is fancy, it's $50 a plate, and nice dress is required.

  • I obviously did not get the memo, the ship's head chef told us we had to try the short rib braised Harris beef with charred leeks and a butternut squash puree.

  • So when I was doing my research, this came up Aziz, one of the best dishes on board the school ships, and I get it and you get it.

  • I'm gonna let you have it.

  • I must feel a couple bites super tender.

  • You barely touch it and falls apart.

  • This is really, really good.

  • Just so soft and delicate melts in your mouth would definitely get that again.

  • Next up.

  • Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's namesake restaurant.

  • Jamie's Italian I Love Jamie Oliver.

  • I have all of his cookbook, so I was totally fan girling when we went.

  • Jamie's is a lot more casual than 1 50 Central Park and a little cheaper to at $35 a person.

  • We came to try the truffle Alfredo pasta fettuccini with a creamy truffle alfredo sauce, Parmesan cheese, truffle oil and truffle shavings.

  • We're gonna try everything.

  • Trump E.

  • My mom calls me a truffle pig.

  • E o so good.

  • Yeah, so Troccoli.

  • So creamy pasta al dente perfection.

  • Deck six says the ship's hot dog stand.

  • Everything on the menu.

  • A doghouse is included in the price of your ticket.

  • We were told it was best for a quick bite.

  • I got the classic Coney Dog and I got the Big Apple because we're from New York.

  • Might as well represent, right?

  • That's the hot dog, has chicken and apples in it, and it's really good.

  • I actually don't love hot dogs, so this is kind of a nice alternative, but bread to sausage ratio it's a little offer means a lot of bread.

  • Yeah, I'm just gonna Just across the promenade from doghouses Playmakers, the ship sports bar.

  • It serves up everything you need for a big game.

  • Wings, nachos, sliders, chicken tenders be warned.

  • The food costs extra is priced ala carte.

  • We had planned to review the helmet Sunday.

  • We actually changed our minds.

  • Once we tried the $6 campfire cookie Ah, warm chocolate chip cookie covered in marshmallows and Nutella and served with a scoop of ice cream and a glass of milk.

  • Ooh, it's, I think, really underneath E can't give you a forward here.

  • You have people, you know, I'm not initiated, Marshall, but the sloppiness of the Marshall actually balances the sweetness of the cookies.

  • Oh, that's so good.

  • There's no world in which I could eat that whole thing, But this is the best dessert.

  • I have a car important hooked.

  • Israel Caribbean's newest restaurant.

  • It's all about seafood, which makes a lot of sense since we're at sea.

  • For $35 a person, you can get fresh oysters or New England crab cakes, but we're here for the Maine lobster roll.

  • Clumps of lobster claw mixed with mayonnaise and chives and served on a buttered and toasted roll, got a delicious lobster.

  • I went to one Boston.

  • I know a good lobster roll.

  • This is a good lobster roll.

  • I'm definitely not a lobster con.

  • A store like you are e really like the charge on the bread.

  • I think it adds a lot of kind of smokiness for the flavor.

  • I think this is definitely on the list you thistles special, but I really like about the lobster roll was that wasn't too mayonnaise E, and they were really generous with lobster.

  • A bad lobster rolls, just a lot of mayonnaise and not a lot of other zu Me is Symphony of the Seas pen Asian concept.

  • The menu is stacked with sushi, udon ramen and fried rice, all at Ala carte pricing.

  • We came here to try the creamy truffle lobster tempore roll.

  • The chef signature role cost $16 but its hefty cam, patchy salmon and asparagus make up the role and is topped with a chunk of lobster tempura tossed and ponzu and spicy mayo.

  • And if that's not enough, there's a drizzle of truffle oil to finish it all off this unhinged jaw with Okay, Bon appetit.

  • I'm gonna very, very every 10 minutes to finish doing this.

  • That is really good.

  • Hard to eat, but really good.

  • This is unique.

  • I've never had trouble of lobster or solution for So we've made it a week.

  • We've done everything we needn't absolutely everything.

  • We're fat, we're tired.

  • But we did it all for you guys.

  • Yeah, we did.

  • So, Sophie, what was your favorite dish aboard this ship?

  • That's a really tough one, considering just how much we eat this week.

  • But for me, I love truffles.

  • I'm gonna go with truffle Tarantini and the truffle pasta.

  • Jamie's Italian.

  • Yes, that was delicious.

  • But for me, I think I'm gonna go for the lobster roll.

  • It's also very good.

  • Clearly, we have really expensive taste because truffles and lobsters are not cheap food items.

  • And both of those restaurants were actually extra.

  • But if you were gonna try and just stick with the complementary, what would be your favorite dish?

  • I really like Taco Bar.

  • Yeah, I think a local fresh tacos.

  • Definitely the winner.

  • I really loved how everything at a local fresh is customizable.

  • From the fillings to the toppings on those feelings were really flavorful, especially the pork and beef that topping bar hit it out of the park and the ingredients were surprisingly fresh because it was buffet style.

  • You could stack those tacos high without any judgment.

  • I was in love with that guacamole, a perfect creaminess plus the tacos air free with your cruise ticket, which makes them taste even better.

e Hey, Hey, guys.
