Lobster Night on Royal Caribbean
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.
Let’s do a quick rewind and retrace the steps of the day.
Free Breakfast at Johnny Rockets — Symphony of the Seas
-> Johnny Rockets Menu 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!
What We Ordered
Coffee & Orange Juice
They really lean into the old school diner vibes with the plastic coffee diner 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”
Served with potatoes, applewood smoked bacon or sausage and sourdough toast.
Buttermilk Pancake
“Three classic buttermilk pancakes served with your choice of applewood smoked bacon or sausage and maple syrup.”
“The Works” Breakfast Scrambler
“Scrambled eggs, applewood smoked bacon, grilled bell pepper and onions, mushrooms and chili topped with shredded Wisconsin cheddar, served with potatoes and toast”
Condiments
With our breakfast at Johnny Rockets they served some ketchup for the potatoes, jelly for the toast, and “maple” syrup for the pancakes.
Breakfast & 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 Fun — Water Slides & 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.
The Toilet Bowel Water 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?!

A Quick Mexican Lunch at El Loco Fresh
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 in Central Park
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.
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?
