"When booking the Junior Suite for the family with kids on Symphony of the Seas, keep in mind that there is only one bathroom.
If you need privacy, I suggest you book two Junior Suites or combination of Junior Suite + stateroom with balcony.
Combined, those staterooms can accommodate up to 7 people. In this scenario cruise vacation became more affordable due to regular stateroom with balcony.
Combinations of Junior Suites + stateroom with balcony sell out of the market first."

"The Junior Suites with Balcony located on Symphony of the Seas on Deck 6 are directly above a series of shops, restaurants, and bars. Due to the heavy traffic on Deck 5, Junior Suites with Balcony located on Deck 6 may experience increased levels of noise during busy hours.
The ship’s pool deck is located directly above the Junior Suites with Balcony on Deck 14. This may also result in higher levels of noise, especially from the suite’s balcony."

Is it better to book my Junior Suite on Symphone of the Seas with an online agency?
Yes, online agencies provide some extras.
- Problem is that they promise more than they deliver. Promising up to $1,000 onboard credit turned into $50 for yourJunior Suite.
- Sometimes, their prices look more lucrative than on official RoyalCaribbean’s site. – The same price as you pay for Aurora Cruises and Travel foryour Junior Suite.
Make the informed decision for your upcoming cruise on Oasis class ship:
- You will not receive consultation which option is better foryou.
- You will not receive concierge service before and duringyour cruise.
- You will not have a dedicated cruise advisor. – Every time you talk to a different person.
- There is no support during unforeseen situations.
During Coronavirus pandemia many guests learned in a hard way what does mean online travel agencies – pieces of software with no responsibility and willingness to help their clients.
Milagros Figueroa-Tetuan share her experience that she had spent a total of six hours on the phone with Travelocity because multiple phone calls kept getting dropped. When she finally spoke to a live person, all the agent could tell her was that she had to call the airline directly. So, she did: “More than three hours with the airline on hold and nobody picks up.”
Many people book on online websites because there is a perception that it is cheaper or faster. – But they even do not try to understand your needs and help you to budget the whole cruise experience.
You do not go to our hairdresser because he is the cheapest in the town, are you?
You know that he will take care about you. You trust him.
Why would you do any differently for a multi-thousand-dollarcruise experience for you and your family? Schedule 20-minutes FREE consultation with Nadia Jastrjembskaia and her team and find the difference.
"I recommend a Junior Suite for honeymooners, parents or
grandparents with children, people who prefer additional space."
