Symphony of the Seas

Symphony of the Seas

This is not an ordinary cruise. This is a festival of family fun on one of the largest cruise ships in the world, enhanced by popular demands made by you. It’s expedited boarding with mobile check-in. Dual attractions for faster action. Glow-in-the-dark laser tag. Original productions not shown elsewhere. With 7 diverse neighborhoods of bond-building, mind-blowing, extra-relaxing activities, prepare for less congestion and more thrills. Blow last year’s cruise out of the water with brand-new complimentary concepts. Think bigger & better bars. Two new laid-back dining venues. Musical staircases. Amplified adventures in outer space and underwater. All while staying in the one and only Ultimate Family Suite at sea. This is discovering the Caribbean and the Bahamas like never before. Packed with so many surprises, you’ll never know what you might get to see or do. This is the new standard of cruising, departing from Miami, Galveston, and Bayonne ports. This is Symphony of the Seas cruise!

Things to Do

You’re a diehard sports fan, cheering for your home team at the cheerful Playmakers Sports Bar and Arcade. A dauntless daredevil, surging 150 feet down the tallest slide at sea or ziplining 9 decks high over the Boardwalk. Or a perpetual party animal, dancing alongside spontaneous parades at the heart of the ship, drink from a nearby bar in hand.

Whatever your idea of a good time, a Symphony of the Seas cruise makes it possible. Like her sister ships in the Royal Caribbean fleet, Symphony of the Seas features the line's innovative and unique neighborhood theme. The ship’s seven neighborhoods are:

• Central Park;
• Royal Promenade;
• Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center;
• Pool and Sports Zone;
• Entertainment Place;
• Youth Zone;
• Reimagined Boardwalk, featuring even more ways to kick back and snack, like at the super sweet Sugar Beach candy shop!

The Symphony of the Seas ship offers the perfect mix of family-friendly fun, including the Perfect Storm waterslides, the 10-story Ultimate Abyss dual racer slide, laser tag, ice skating, rock-climbing, mini-golf, FlowRider surf simulators, a carousel, and amusing arcade games around every corner.

Staterooms & Suites

This is no sleepy cruise ship. First-timer travelers will be pleasantly surprised at just what cruising onboard Symphony of the Seas really means. Begin with a futuristic drink from Bionic Bar, followed by some late-night dancing, a specialty dining experience, a rousing night of karaoke, or a complimentary world-class production. Those are just some of your fabulous options!

Cramped cabins with little or no view are objects of the past with Royal Caribbean! Be the first person you know to stay in a groundbreaking interior view or balcony stateroom, never missing the bustling action of Central Park or the Boardwalk. Save money without sacrificing the view in an interior stateroom with a virtual balcony. You might even be lucky enough to spot a whale! And spacious oceanview or balcony staterooms ensure you never lose sight of the oncoming skyline!

Suites aboard Symphony of the Seas go beyond luxury. Defy traditional boundaries with the all-new Ultimate Family Suite, two-story Loft Suites, and cutting-edge AquaTheater Suites (with balconies that provide perfect vantage points for the AquaTheater).

Fall into the lap of luxury with the Royal Suite Class, an exceptional experience that gives you more than what any other suite offers. More space. More personal service. More amenities. Exclusive access to private lounges and restaurants. Enjoy sumptuous benefits offered by suite and tier (Sea, Sky, and Star). Sophisticated Star-tiered cruisers can elevate their onboard experience with exclusive VIP status – your Royal Genie will provide customized ship-wide perks to complete a nearly all-inclusive, private experience! Front row seats in the theater and private beachside cabanas, anyone? That’s on top of prepaid gratuities and unlimited Wi-Fi!

Regardless of category, your Symphony of the Seas stateroom is your comfortable, convenient, and captivating home away from home. Each accommodation provides you with the essentials for a smooth stay, including a flat-screen TV, ample storage space, conveniently placed outlets, and a safe to protect your valuables.

Restaurants

From snacks and casual selections to sit-down meals and extraordinary dining adventures, a Symphony of the Seas cruise is easily a floating culinary tour. Try all kinds of high-quality foods without missing having to travel further than a few decks. Rotating menus, flexible choices, and culturally authentic dining eliminates “the everyday” from your exciting options! Award-winning chefs design creative menus that combine freshly sourced ingredients with contemporary atmospheres, magically turning each meal into an experience while seamlessly meeting your dietary needs.

When booking your Symphony of the Seas cruise, you can choose from Traditional or My Time Dining. Prevent the hassle of making reservations or experiencing inconsistency in the main dining room with Traditional option. Double your chances of exploring with My Time option, which grants you more flexible dining reservations and allows adults to enjoy a romantic meal together while their kids get served first and then head to their own program, available during first seating on the second night of your voyage.

Specialty dining, which charges a cover in exchange for a more venturesome menu, is a culinary expedition in itself that also enhances an important occasion or lets you dare to try something completely new. Specialty restaurants onboard Symphony of the Seas include:

Ship Highlights

Ultimate Family Suite

This isn’t the suite life. It’s the “sweet life.” A perfect balance of elation and relaxation. A place where togetherness and alone time go hand-in-hand. All while residing in the most exclusive living arrangement in the cruising industry. Live the celebrity life as your personal Royal Genie tenders to your reservations, delights you with personal surprises, and arranges custom VIP experiences for you throughout the cruise ship.

This singular two-level accommodation boasts 1,346 square feet of space, including a balcony, and can sleep up to eight guests. Host family movie nights in the private cinema, where everyone can enjoy freshly made popcorn and snacks in front of an 85-inch 4K Ultra HD TV. Choose from an expansive family movie library, or challenge each other to one of 27 popular video games for Xbox One X, Nintendo Switch, or PS4 Pro.

The floor-to-ceiling LEGO® and chalkboard walls are certain to keep the kids’ attention while parents take a dip in the full-sized jacuzzi on the wraparound balcony. Sink into a chaise lounge chair while the kids laugh their way up the private Luckey Climber. Other amazing features of this opulent suite include a slide, in-suite air hockey and table tennis, hidden nooks for relaxing, and a hidden doorway that connects the master and children’s bedroom. This suite makes it possible for everyone to come together at the end of the day.

Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade

You’re a dedicated sports fan who wants an evening of classic American finger foods, over 30 flat-screen TVs, and all sorts of new craft beers to try! Isn't your dream to watch the playoffs on a huge TV, surrounded by good food and good times? Doesn't your family love to challenge each other to friendly Boardwalk-style competition after sharing a round of all-American appetizers? Or both?

Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade is a brand-new family-friendly venue on a Symphony of the Seas cruise where you can catch the big game, eat to your heart’s content, and play fun Boardwalk-style games, all under the same roof! Tantalize your taste buds by trying a new craft beer. Celebrate victories with a familiar favorite cocktail. Indulge in a round of crispy buffalo wings, followed by some flaky fresh popcorn shrimp or juicy hamburger sliders.

Open late, this innovative venue is a great way for families to spend quality time together onboard. Cruisers of all ages will love challenging each other to fun games like pool, foosball, skeeball, basketball hoops, Ms. Pac-Man, and Star Wars Battle Pod. Top off a perfect night out with a 4-scoop Touchdown Sundae, another Playmakers treat that is certain to be a smash hit with all.

Hooked Seafood

If you love New England-inspired seafood dishes, you may find yourself “hooked” on the latest catch of the day at Hooked Seafood. This specialty restaurant, located within the tranquil Solarium, serves up elegantly casual ocean views with every order! Crack open a fresh crab claw, savor the flavor of warm, homemade lobster rolls (stuffed with half a pound of fresh lobster meat!), or watch your oysters be shucked to order at the ice-cold raw bar! Don’t forget to warm up with a creamy bowl of signature New England clam chowder.

Sugar Beach

This isn’t a candy shop. This is over 140 ways to mix and match your favorite sweet treats. Sour or sweet, sticky or soft, you’ll discover everything from candy to ice cream and unimaginable confections! After all, what’s a visit to the boardwalk without classic cotton candy, an assortment of salt-water taffy, or an over-the-top ice cream cone? Fill up a huge bag of your go-to candies, create your own crazy ice cream sundae, or turn your visit into a family event with fun DIY activities, like cupcake decorating. Additional charges may apply for any purchases made in this venue.

Amped Entertainment

You aren’t limited to earthly destinations when sailing on a Symphony of the Seas cruise. This magnificent ship will take you thousands of feet underwater and far away to another galaxy outer space! All you need to bring is yourself and your fabulous imagination. Two innovative and challenging new ways to have fun are Puzzle Break: Escape the Rubicon and glow-in-the-dark laser tag.

Escape the Rubicon isn’t your typical Escape Room. This is a custom-designed, dramatically interactive story occurring in a movie set straight out of Hollywood, with your cast as the lead. Board the futuristic Rubicon submarine, only to find yourself trapped with your friends, family, or fellow cruisers! The only way out is by working together to solve a puzzle that can only be cracked with a sequence of clues that are hidden throughout the room. The catch is that you only have 60 minutes to escape successfully! Do you have what it takes? Guests 14 and older are invited to enjoy this exhilarating activity.

Glow in the Dark Laser Tag isn’t the kind you’ll find at home. It’s glow-in-the-dark, maze-moving, alien vs. robot madness! This complimentary activity transports you and 15 other guests to the last known planet of the galaxy (also known as Studio B), where only the walls of a giant inflatable neon maze stand between you and team victory.

Flight: Dare to Dream

This isn’t a rehash of the same-old, same-old. This is Symphony of the Seas’ cutting-edge headline act. An energetic production combining 3D flight and video technology with genuine experiences in air travel and space exploration. Designed in partnership with U.S. Astronaut Clayton C. Anderson, who spent 167 days living in space, this zero-gravity simulation will transport you to the doors of the International Space Station. Journeying you from the first voyage to Mars all the way to America’s first flight with the Wright Brothers, this first-of-its-kind production is certain to make your senses soar.

Artwork

Symphony of the Seas isn’t just one of the world’s largest cruise ships. It’s also a ticket to one of the largest contemporary art collections at sea, no additional fees required! This magnificent vessel exhibits over 13,000 globally-designed pieces, including several immersive multimedia works that make for great photo backdrops! This dreamlike collection, “The Wonder of Our World, a Journey into the Unimaginable” features unique creations like a musical drier-wig, deep-diver sculptures, and 1953 coiled Beetle Sphere. Don’t miss the Crystal Hallway, designed to be reminiscent of Mexico’s “Cave of the Cyrstals,” or Sound Shell, an interactive LED display that induces soothing music and restorative light therapy. And you certainly won’t be able to resist Imagine (19 inflatable acrylic bubbles hand-decorated with thousands of Swarovski crystals), Paradox Void (a multidimensional structure with 1,200 mirrors and 200 LED lights), or The Big Wonder (a 2,594 square foot color-changing, sensory structure that represents infinite space).

Your ticket to relaxation and rejuvenation awaits, as do big savings and exclusive offers. Call us now - we’re ready to assist you today!
