Symphony of the Seas suites run from a Junior Suite of about 287 sq ft to a Royal Loft Suite of well over 1,500 sq ft, with a two-story Ultimate Family Suite and a four-bedroom Villa along the way. What you get depends less on the suite’s size than on its Royal Suite Class tier: Sea, Sky or Star. For most couples, the real decision is whether to pay the jump from Sea to Sky, because that is where the lounge, concierge and all-day suite dining begin.

Sea Class: the Symphony of the Seas Junior Suite
The Junior Suite is the entry point. At about 287 sq ft with an 80 sq ft balcony, it is noticeably larger than a standard balcony stateroom, with a sitting area, a sofa bed and a bathroom with a tub. It does not have a separate bedroom.
Sea Class is the most limited tier. You get a dedicated check-in line and dinner at Coastal Kitchen when space allows, but no lounge, no concierge and no included Wi-Fi. Think of it as a roomier cabin with a few extras, rather than the full suite experience. It is often priced close enough to a balcony to be worth comparing on your sailing.
Sky Class: Grand, Owner’s, Crown Loft and AquaTheater
Grand Suite
The one-bedroom Grand Suite offers about 371 sq ft and a bathroom with two sinks. It is typically among the lower-priced ways into the Sky tier. The two-bedroom version, at about 580 sq ft with two bathrooms and space for up to eight, can work well for families who want the lounge and concierge without paying Star Class fares.
Owner’s Suite
Larger than the one-bedroom Grand at about 556 sq ft, the Owner’s Suite has a marble entryway, oversized closets and a balcony of around 243 sq ft. It suits couples who want more living space and storage on one level.
Crown Loft Suite
The Crown Loft is a two-level suite on the highest cabin decks, with a king bedroom and bathroom upstairs, a sofa bed below and tall windows. Floor space is about 545 sq ft. The balcony is the modest part, at about 114 sq ft. An accessible version offers more room, at about 734 sq ft. The stairs make the standard loft a poor choice for anyone with limited mobility.
AquaTheater Suite, one bedroom
These aft suites overlook the AquaTheater and have some of the largest balconies among Sky Class rooms, though the exact size varies a lot by suite. They are great for watching the high-diving shows from your own balcony, but it is worth expecting sound from rehearsals and performances.
Star Class: Royal Loft, Ultimate Family Suite and more
Star Class brings the highest level of service. Your Royal Genie, who typically looks after a small number of suites, handles reservations, escorts and special requests. Fares also cover the drinks package for everyone in the suite, specialty dining, gratuities, Wi-Fi and a stocked minibar with soft drinks and water.
- AquaTheater Suite, two bedroom: Around 739 to 823 sq ft, with a huge wraparound-style balcony of 610 to 722 sq ft and a dining room.
- Star Loft Suite: A two-level suite of about 722 sq ft with a 410 sq ft balcony. It comes with Star Class perks at a smaller size than the Royal Loft.
- Ultimate Family Suite: A two-story suite for up to eight with a slide between levels, a private cinema room, air hockey, a LEGO wall and a balcony with a whirlpool. There is only one on board, so it tends to book up early.
- Villa Suite: Four bedrooms, sleeping up to 14, with a balcony whirlpool and dining room. Cruise Critic notes a minimum group size of eight.
- Royal Loft Suite: The largest suite on Symphony, with a two-level layout, a second bedroom for up to six guests in total and a balcony of about 843 sq ft with a whirlpool and dining area.
How much do Symphony of the Seas suites cost?
Royal Caribbean does not publish a set price, and fares move with the itinerary, season and how close you book. The ranges below are rough third-party estimates for a seven-night cruise. They do not always state whether a figure is per person or per suite, so use them only to compare tiers.
| Suite | Rough seven-night estimate |
|---|---|
| Junior Suite | $1,500 to $3,500 |
| Grand Suite | $3,000 to $6,000 |
| Owner’s Suite | $4,500 to $8,000 |
| Crown Loft Suite | $5,000 to $9,000 |
| AquaTheater Suite | $6,000 to $11,000 |
| Royal Loft Suite | $12,000 to $25,000 or more |
| Ultimate Family Suite | Often reported from $20,000 to $30,000 or more |
A live quote for your exact dates will tell you far more than any table, especially for holiday sailings, when top suites can be much more expensive.
A simple way to compare tiers
Comparing fares on their own can be misleading, as a higher tier may include things you would otherwise buy. Before you decide, price these items for everyone in your party:
- Get a quote for the suite and for the tier below it on the same sailing.
- Add what you would realistically spend on Wi-Fi in the lower tier. Sky Class includes it, Sea Class does not.
- For Star Class, add the drinks package, specialty dinners and gratuities you would otherwise pay for, using current onboard prices.
- Be honest about use. If you will rarely visit the lounge or drink much, those perks are worth less to you.
Location matters too. Before you pay a deposit, compare your suite on the deck plan and read our guide to the worst-rated cabins on Symphony of the Seas. If you are also considering a sister ship, our guide to Oasis of the Seas suites offers a useful comparison.
