Your Ultimate Guide To Symphony Of The Seas Suites

If you think all cruise suites are the same, think again.

Royal Caribbean’s Oasis Class ships — especially Symphony of the Seas — take luxury to a whole new level. We’re talking jaw-dropping suites with perks that most cruisers don’t even know exist.

Ever dreamed of your own private slide, a butler at your beck and call, or a suite bigger than some houses? You’re about to see just how next-level life at sea can get.

Ready to find out what the real suite life looks like on the world’s biggest cruise ship? Let’s dive in.

Suite Facts

There are 188 suites on Symphony of the Seas, including 11 different types of suites. Of those, 86 are Junior Suites, and 46 are Grand Suites. There are also some specialist suites, including the Family Villa and Ultimate Family Suite, with only one of each.

There are a couple of other websites that I’ve seen that say there are 189 or 190 suites, but I’ve checked the deck plans and counted them – twice – to make sure.

Here’s a breakdown of all the different suites available to book on Symphony of the Seas:

Suite Prices

Suite prices on Symphony of the Seas vary depending on the suite, the time of year, the length of your cruise, and how many guests you travel with. Expect to pay around $4,000 total for a Junior Suite, and $20,000 for the Ultimate Family Suite, for 7 nights.

You’ll pay more per person if you don’t fill a room, so a Junior Suite with two occupants might cost $2,000, while it drops to $1,500 for four occupants. It’s still overall more expensive for all four of you, but if you’re travelling with friends, then booking a suite can be a good way to split the cost since it’s less for each person to have to spend.

Two Bedroom Suites

Symphony of the Seas has a number of two-bedroom suites, including Grand Suites and AquaTheater Suites. The Royal Loft Suite also has two bedrooms, while the other loft suites are designed to convert the lower floor into a second bedroom.

They aren’t the suites with the most bedrooms, though – that’s the Villa Suite. This massive suite has four full bedrooms, and when you also add in the convertible sofa beds in the living area, it has a total capacity of 14 guests, which is huge.

If you’re looking to book for a group, then of all the Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas rooms, a suite is going to be a better option since they’re more spacious.

The Largest Suite on Symphony of the Seas

The largest suite on Symphony of the Seas is the Royal Loft Suite. The interior floor space is 1,530 square feet, while the balcony is 850 square feet, for a total of 2,380 square feet. The Royal Loft’s balcony alone is bigger than two Junior Suites combined.

Despite its epic size, the Royal Loft Suite is designed for only six people. This isn’t a suite for huge groups, but instead, it is designed for anyone who wants more space to relax and potentially host parties, but with a spacious room to relax in once everyone has moved on.

The 11 Types Of Suites On Symphony Of The Seas

Let’s take a look at what each different suite offers.

1. Royal Loft Suite

Symphony of the Seas has a number of two-storey suites, the largest of which is the Royal Loft Suite. And it is huge. The lower floor has a large living area that includes a grand piano, as well as a separate dining area, along with a bedroom and bathroom. It’s also where you’ll find the wraparound balcony, including multiple seating areas and a hot tub.

Upstairs is the master bedroom, with a walk-in wardrobe, and the master bathroom, which includes a large bathtub, a two-sink vanity and a bidet.

Take a look at this video for a closer look at what is arguably the best suite on Symphony of the Seas…

The Royal Loft Suite is a Star Class suite, which means it benefits from the service of a Royal Genie, as well as other typical Royal Caribbean suite perks.

2. Villa Suite

While not the largest suite at sea, the 4-Bedroom Villa Suite is the one with the highest occupancy. Up to 14 guests can share this outstanding suite, with four separate bedrooms. If you’re a couple of families travelling together, this could be absolutely ideal.

As well as the four bedrooms (and four bathrooms), there’s a spacious living area and a long balcony with an extended outdoor dining table and a hot tub.

The Villa Suite is another Star Class suite, so guests will enjoy the service of a Royal Genie.

3. Ultimate Family Suite

Designed to be, well, the ultimate suite for families, this amazing two-storey room is ideal for those travelling with children. There’s a separate loft bedroom on the upper floor, with a slide down to the lower floor – amazing. It also has a floor-to-ceiling Lego wall, an air-hockey table and a separate TV room, which has a 3D cinema, popcorn machine and games consoles.

The fun continues outside, too – the wraparound balcony has a bumper pool table, a whirlpool, and even its own small climbing wall. And this is another Star Class suite, so the Royal Genie can make sure your family’s wishes are met.

Take a look at this incredible walkthrough video that shows you what you can expect from the Ultimate Family Suite on Symphony of the Seas. It really is incredible.

4. Star Loft Suite

The Star Loft suite isn’t quite as spacious as some of the other loft suites, but it still has plenty of room for its four passengers. The lower floor has a large seating area, which can be converted into a bedroom, and a spacious balcony with seats and loungers.

Upstairs, the loft holds the master bedroom with an oceanview window and a second bathroom. The Star Loft suite is another in the Star Class with Royal Genie service.

5. Crown Loft Suite

The smallest of the two-storey suites, the Crown Loft rooms look almost like a regular (but spacious) balcony stateroom on the lower floor, with a bathroom and a living area that opens onto a balcony that has room for loungers.

Up the stairs is the master bedroom with a separate desk, wardrobe area and a master bathroom with a bathtub.

There are accessible Crown Loft suites available for guests with wheelchairs or scooters to book – these are slightly larger and have a wet room.

6. AquaTheater Suite – 1 Bedroom

The AquaTheater suites are so-named because they sit on the aft corners of the ship, with wraparound balconies that overlook the – you guessed it – AquaTheater. These amazing suites offer spacious accommodation and plenty of storage space, but the main benefit is those balcony views – ideal for shows.

You can take a look at the view from an AquaTheater Suite in this video…

7. AquaTheater Suite – 2 Bedroom

These suites are almost identical to the one-bedroom version, except that they’re slightly larger and have a second bedroom. These are located on lower decks than the one-bedroom version – on Decks 8, 9 and 10.

As you’ll see in this video, the balcony is absolutely huge!

8. Owner’s Suite

The Owner’s Suite is normally a name reserved for the top one or two suites on a ship, but Symphony of the Seas isn’t an ordinary ship, nor are her suites ordinary. The Owner’s Suites are still amazing, offering a lot of inside and balcony space.

They have only one bedroom, though the living area easily converts into a separate bedroom thanks to curtain dividers, while the master bathroom has a bathtub, a separate shower cubicle, twin vanity and a bidet.

Take a closer look…

9. Grand Suite – 1 Bedroom

The most popular of all of the full suites, the Symphony of the Seas Grand Suite rooms are available on multiple decks and offer spacious accommodation similar to the Owner’s Suites.

There’s a shower over the bath instead of having both separate, and no bidet. But it does have the twin vanity still.

The bedroom can be curtained off again to create two bedrooms, and the balcony is spacious enough to have two seats along with two loungers.

10. Grand Suite – 2 Bedroom

A larger version of the Grand Suites, there are just four of these available. There are two separate bedrooms as well as the living area, which can be converted into a third bedroom, and there are two bathrooms. Neither has the twin vanity, but one has a shower cubicle and another a bathtub with a shower over.

The balcony is slightly larger again, meaning it can accommodate four chairs and two loungers.

Here’s the video tour…

11. Junior Suite

There are a lot of Junior Suites available on Symphony of the Seas across multiple decks, each of which is essentially a more spacious balcony cabin with extra Junior Suite perks.

There is no separate bedroom or living area here, but you do still have a walk-in wardrobe and a bathtub with a shower over in the bathroom.

There are a couple of accessible Junior Suites available, which are wider and have a wet room instead of a standard bathroom.

The Right Suite For You

With so many amazing suites to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you?

For a lot of people, it comes down to two things – occupancy and budget. If you’re a family of four, there’s no point booking the Villa Suite, because even having a double bed each isn’t worth the extra money you’ll pay.

The Star Class suites do have the benefit of the Royal Genie, but consider whether you’ll use them or if you would be better served saving the money. One cruise in a Star Class suite often costs the same as two (or more) cruises in a lower-class suite.

Every stateroom and suite is amazing on Symphony of the Seas, but that doesn’t mean they all suit everyone – there are some staterooms and suites you might want to avoid.
