While everyone might not be able to stay in this incredible two-level Ultimate Family Suite, Royal Caribbean cruise ships offer a variety of room types to suit different needs and budgets. Here's a quick rundown:

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺: These are the most basic and affordable rooms, and they don't have any windows. They typically have two twin beds that can be converted into a queen-size bed, a sitting area, and a private bathroom with a shower.

𝗢𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺: These rooms have a window with a view of the ocean. They are slightly larger than interior staterooms and may have a balcony.

𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺: These rooms have a balcony where you can step outside and enjoy the fresh air and ocean views. They are a good choice for people who want to be able to relax in private and enjoy the scenery.

𝗦𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲: Suites are the most luxurious rooms on the ship. They are larger than staterooms and have a separate sleeping area, living area, and balcony. Some suites also have a whirlpool tub and other amenities.

There are also a number of specialty rooms available, such as rooms with virtual balconies (which use large screens to create the illusion of a balcony) and rooms that can be connected to create a larger family suite. No matter which room type you choose, you can be sure that it will be comfortable and well-appointed.

In just 10 days I'll be onboard Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas to check out all that these staterooms have to offer. We'll be in two connecting rooms: one is an Interior Stateroom, and the other is a Central Park View Balcony Stateroom. What type of stateroom do you prefer when you cruise?

This pair of ten-deck-tall, twisting dry slides found on Royal Caribbean cruise ships is one of the most popular activities on these ships, and for good reason! It's a thrilling experience that sends riders on a 100-foot plunge from Deck 16 to Deck 6.

Check back to see if I
