Indulge in culinary delights in Italy, marvel at monuments in France and soak up the sun on the Spanish seaside. And now bring the whole family for a week of memory maxing adventures from Rome or Barcelona onboard Symphony of the Seas® — rated the best cruise ship by Travel Weekly readers in 2021. Among the new technologies implemented on all Royal Caribbean ships are the RFID wristbands (aka WOWbands). These are optional choices for replacing the RCI's traditional SeaPass cards.
NO LIMIT ON CRUISE NIGHTLIFE
Instead of sailing through the Suez Canal, Anthem of the Seas will sail without any passengers around Africa. A rise of attacks since October 2023 on commercial ships in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden by the Houthis has greatly impacted tourism in the area. Guests booked on the October 14, 2024 sailing of Anthem of the Seas were informed by Royal Caribbean that they have decided to cancel a Middle East cruise because of concerns for the ship's safety. The Ultimate Family Suite is two stories of awesome thrills on every level. Like your very own in-suite slide where there’s never a line, an air hockey table, and table tennis on your balcony.

Virtual Balcony Interior Cabin
All Royal Caribbean Loft Suites are Duplex Apartments (accommodations on 2 levels/decks). They feature separate bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (1 with bathtub, 1 shower-only), large-sized outdoor terraces (with premium garden furniture, 4-seat dining tables, some have outdoor Jacuzzi tubs). Loft Suite's lower level houses the living room and dining room (dry bar, bath with shower), while the upper level houses the bedroom and the full-bath (with bathtub). Some Loft Suites are accessible (with an elevator), and some are connecting.
Inside cabins
Started in 2010, Royal Caribbean Blog offers daily coverage of news and information related to the Royal Caribbean cruise line along with other relevant topics of cruising, such as entertainment, news, photo updates and more. There's genuinely no shortage of things to do onboard Symphony of the Seas. In terms of the inside square footage, however, all standard balcony rooms are around 180 square feet. Plus, at 55 square feet, their balconies are more spacious than the 50 square foot balconies that accompany Central Park and Boardwalk balcony rooms. El Loco Fresh was my favorite quick-service spot, as I loved being able to build my own tacos and nachos!

Unique entertainment options
You’ll find plenty of spaces to kick back and soak up the sun at this adults-only retreat, plus refreshing lagoon-like pools and heated whirlpools, and a bar fully stocked with all your favorite wines, beers, and spirits. I knew that I wanted to take a cruise in early 2023, and I decided on a 7-night cruise onboard Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas. As a solo traveler, I paid $1,393.20 for the cruise fare and gratuities, which breaks down to just about $200 per night. While not the cheapest cruise vacation, I wanted to experience what the second largest cruise ship in the world had to offer. Symphony OTS features a multi-deck waterslide area that was introduced first on Harmony OTS. It is also the second Oasis-class liner with robot bartenders serving drinks (Bionic Bar) - a concept first introduced in 2014 on Quantum of the Seas.

Subsequently, RCI started charging for the WOWBands US$5 (available for purchase at the Guest Services desk). Junior Suite and above passengers receive their wristbands for free (placed in envelopes in the cabins). Boardwalk-Central Park Balcony cabins are all with step-out verandahs, while Boardwalk-Central Park View cabins have a Picture Window.
It also has 28 more staterooms, new for RCI "Family Suite" (duplex apartment on 2 decks), redesigned Boardwalk area. One downside to all the investment and improvement is that the returns have to come from somewhere. In the case of Symphony, the price of nearly every specialty restaurant cover has been raised.
Symphony has bigger cabins than Allure and Oasis (in some categories) and windowless interior cabins (Virtual Balconies) offering real-time views (first introduced in 2014 on Navigator of the Seas). In comparison to the other Oasis-Class sisterships, Harmony and Symphony are heavier (by over 1700 tons), 3 meters wider, able to accommodate 100 more passengers. Symphony is nearly 330 ft (101 m) longer than RMS Titanic and 165 ft (50 m) longer than Eiffel Tower (Paris City). The liner has several promenades, two FlowRiders, two rock-climbing walls, ice-skating rink, world's largest theatre at sea.
DESIGNED TO MATCH YOUR TRAVEL STYLE
Symphony OTS's 3-tiered dining room is designed as three separate restaurants situated on different decks - American Icon Grill (Deck 3), The Grand (Deck 4) and The Chic (Deck 5). Symphony also includes some Quantum restaurants, such as Wonderland Imaginative Cuisine, Coastal Kitchen. The Izumi Restaurant features a la carte hibachi, teppanyaki and sushi menu. A total of 25 onboard dining options (14 complimentary, including room-service) are available to choose from.
It's a category below staterooms with a balcony, and two steps below a suite. In addition to onboard attractions like the Ultimate Abyss and laser tag, Symphony of the Seas also delivers some of the best entertainment in the cruising industry. Every show onboard is a hit, but you definitely can’t miss the dazzling performances at the AquaTheater. This open-air venue sets the stage for shows that blend dance, synchronized swimming, impressive aerial feats and captivating high-diving stunts by world-class performers. Once you’ve conquered The Perfect Storm waterslides, keep the thrills going strong onboard Symphony of the Seas with an exhilarating zip line ride ten stories above the Boardwalk.
The 210 ft2 wraparound balcony has a bumper pool table, kids climbers and a full-size whirlpool. Welcome to the perfect spot to rest your head after a day spent discovering record-breaking thrills, spectacular shows and palette-pleasing flavors onboard the largest cruise ship in the world, Symphony of the Seas®. Serving up spectacular views and deluxe amenities, our staterooms are an alluring escape from the non-stop action our ships are known for — and the perfect place to recharge in between adventures. These engineering wonders take home awards every year for their cutting-edge design, first-of-their-kind attractions, world-class dining and accommodations, and unforgettable experiences. From the tallest slide at sea, to culinary concepts that take guests from Japan to Italy to Wonderland, the world’s largest cruise ships are full of adventures guaranteed to wow every kind of explorer.
They allow passengers to do onboard purchases (shopping, paying for drinks and food, casino playing) and also to access their cabins. WOWBands are silicone-made, offered in different colors (black, blue, white, yellow) and can be used on other Royal Caribbean ships (need re-programming). They were first introduced on Quantum OTS as a complimentary amenity for all guests.
