Symphony of the Seas
The Oasis sister that added the Ultimate Family Suite — and refined the recipe.
Symphony of the Seas launched in April 2018 as the fourth Oasis-class ship, debuting the two-storey Ultimate Family Suite, Hooked Seafood, El Loco Fresh and the Sugar Beach candy store. Same seven neighbourhoods and Central Park as her sisters, with quiet upgrades throughout.

Onboard
Standout features, at a glance.
A high-level look. We'll go deeper on any of these — including the shows worth pre-booking — when we speak.
The Ultimate Family Suite
A two-storey suite with an in-room slide from the kids' loft to the living room, LEGO wall, air-hockey table and a private balcony with a whirlpool. Books a year out.
Ultimate Abyss & Perfect Storm
The tallest slide at sea drops ten storeys to the Boardwalk, plus the Perfect Storm trio of racing waterslides and Splashaway Bay for younger children.
Central Park
The open-air park mid-ship with real trees, boutique shopping, 150 Central Park, Chops Grille and Trellis Bar for live music.
AquaTheater & Royal Theater
Outdoor AquaTheater for high-diving shows, plus Broadway-scale productions in the Royal Theater — Hairspray sails on Symphony.
Dining variety
Hooked Seafood, 150 Central Park, Chops Grille, Jamie's Italian, Izumi, Wonderland, El Loco Fresh, Playmakers, Johnny Rockets and Starbucks — with complimentary Windjammer, Solarium Bistro, Park Café and Sorrento's.
The Boardwalk
Coney Island-inspired neighbourhood at the stern — hand-carved carousel, Boardwalk Dog House, arcade and direct AquaTheater views.
Cabins & where to book
Not all balconies are equal.
Symphony has over 25 stateroom categories across 16 guest decks. As with all Oasis-class, the Central Park and Boardwalk balconies are where the class shines — but Boardwalk views vary a lot by deck, and a few Central Parks are more obstructed than the deck plans suggest.
We'll steer you clear of the obstructed views, the cabins under the pool deck and the noisy connecting doors — and towards the ones that quietly go for the same money.
Best value balcony
Central Park view balcony, deck 10 or 11 mid-ship
Quiet, leafy, mid-ship for minimal motion — usually priced below an ocean-view balcony on the same deck.
Best for families
Boardwalk balcony, aft-facing on deck 12+
AquaTheater views from your own balcony. Avoid the lowest Boardwalk decks if you're a light sleeper — the carousel and diner are close.
Quiet ocean view
Deck 9 or 10 aft-facing ocean-view balcony
Sunrise over the wake, well away from the pool deck. Our pick for couples on a Symphony sailing.
Suite splurge
Crown Loft Suite, deck 17
Two-storey loft with floor-to-ceiling ocean views — unique to Oasis-class. Coastal Kitchen access and the suite sun deck included.
