How this score is created

There are 17 cabin price grades, which is far too many. The price you pay will depend on the grade, location and size you choose.

Royal Caribbean International has realized that small cabins do not please passengers. The company therefore set about designing a ship with much larger standard cabins than in any of the company’s previous vessels – except sister ship Legend of the Seas. Some cabins on Deck 8 also have a larger door for wheelchair access in addition to the 17 cabins for the disabled, and the ship is very accessible, with ample ramped areas and sloping decks. All cabins have a sitting area and beds that convert to double configuration, and there is ample closet and drawer space, although there is not much space around the bed (and the showers could have been better designed). Cabins with balconies have glass railings rather than steel/wood to provide less intrusive sightlines.

The largest accommodation, the Royal Suite, is a superb living space for those who can afford the best. It is beautifully designed, finely decorated, and has a baby grand piano and whirlpool bathtub. Several quiet sitting areas are located adjacent to the best cabins amidships. There are no cabins for singles.
