"Junior Suite with a Balcony on the Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, and Symphony of the Seas is an over-sized stateroom with a balcony.
Royal Caribbean International describes it as “deluxe”, yet the price is reasonable.
While there are suites with more amenities and perks, junior suites are quite comfortable.
Don’t get confused with the word ‘suite’: Junior Suites don’t qualify for all suite amenities as other suites."

Is it better to book my Junior Suite on Oasis class ship directly with Royal Caribbean International?
Think about this first:
- Booking direct, you pay anyway for service you do not receive.
- Agent commissions are built into price and Royal Caribbean does not give you a discount equal to agent’s commission by booking directly with Royal Caribbean International.
- You are a number of your reservation. Every time when you call Royal Caribbean International, you talk to a different person with whom you do not have relationships.
- You do not receive concierge service that travel agents from Aurora Cruises and Travel will provide you for free as a valuable customer.
- We can book all details of your cruise experience: activities on board and ashore, excursions, pre- and after- cruise, transfers, air tickets.
Answer yourself if this smart to book directly with Royal Caribbean International for the same price? We are partners. You will pay directly to Royal Caribbean International anyway. Not sure? Give us a try. Schedule 20 minutes FREE consultation

Are Junior Suites Worth it?
The bottom line is Junior Suites with a Balcony are extra-large balcony staterooms that provide a less-expensive means of splurging for accommodations on a Royal Caribbean cruise without breaking the bank.
The extra living space and perks of a Junior Suite with Balcony are a nice to have benefit, that provide for a much more enjoyable experience while in your stateroom.
Between the extra storage space, larger balcony and bathroom upgrades, many guests easily can see and appreciate the extras.
The determining factor to if a Junior Suite with a Balcony is worth the price is it depends on the price difference between it and a regular balcony stateroom. Many times, a Junior Suite upgrade cost is nominal, while on other sailings the price difference has been more substantial.
While a Junior Suite with a Balcony may not offer nearly as many perks and incentives as a traditional suite stateroom, it does include enough advantages to satisfy the needs of most guests looking to enjoy something nicer than a balcony stateroom but cannot or will not opt for a more extravagant suite.
"I recommend a Junior Suite for honeymooners, parents or
grandparents with children, people who prefer additional space."

Junior Suites Availability
There are 86 Junior Suites with a Balcony available on each of the Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, and Symphony of the Seas.
Due to huge inventory Junior Suites with a Balcony may be available on Going, Going, Gone! sale events.
A few Junior Suites with a Balcony are connected to staterooms with balconies. This option gives privacy for families with kids.
Combined, those staterooms can accommodate up to 7 people. In this scenario, cruise vacation became more affordable due to regular stateroom with balcony.
Junior Suites with connected stateroom with balconies sell out of the market first. So, don't wait up to the last minute.
Another option to enjoy your privacy is to book two connecting Junior Suites with a Balcony. In this case, you will have more space and everyone in your party will have the same accommodations.
For any combination: Junior Suite + Stateroom with Balcony or Junior Suite + Junior Suite we recommend making reservations in advance: deposit $250 per person is required (unless there is a special promotion with reduced deposit.)
Deposit may be refundable or not refundable depending on the cruise fare chosen.
Helpful Tips and Reminders
When booking a Junior Suite with a Balcony aboard Symphony of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, and Oasis of the Seas, location is a key.
The suites close to the elevator, though convenient, may experience higher levels of traffic noise.
Similarly, on some ships a few of these suites are located below the Windjammer Café. These locations can increase the amount of noise heard from inside the Junior Suite with a Balcony. The same can be said about suites located below the pool deck.
Since the Junior Suite with a Balcony is one of the smaller suite categories, the bathroom is often smaller than expected. Depending on the duration of your cruise, you may not want to share such a small bathroom with three other guests. Some bathrooms also feature an awkward layout, which may be off-putting for some guests.
Sometimes the outside view is more important than the inside of the suite. Those who want a little extra outdoor living space will want to book a Junior Suite with a Balcony instead of a regular stateroom with balcony.

Is it better to book my Junior Suite 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 for your 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 during your 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 supplier 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.
