Oasis Class Ships

Oasis-class ships are some of the largest cruise ships in the world and feature a wide range of outdoor amenities, including multiple pools, a kiddie splash zone, surfing simulators, a miniature golf course, a basketball court, a zip line, and more. Inside the ship, you’ll find a variety of lounges, bars, restaurants, shops, and casinos, as well as a spa and showroom with Broadway-style shows.

Quantum Class Ships

The Quantum-class ships are Royal Caribbean’s latest and most innovative class of ships, featuring unique and exciting features that set them apart from other ship classes. One of the most notable differences is that Quantum-class ships are designed to be more versatile, with more indoor attractions that can be enjoyed regardless of the weather. This makes them ideal for cruising in any season and at any destination.

Types of Staterooms on Royal Caribbean Cruises

Oasis and Quantum Class Ships

Royal Caribbean offers numerous options when choosing the stateroom that fits best for you and your family. The main categories include interior staterooms, oceanview staterooms, balcony staterooms, and suites. In the following guide we have provided the typical configuration for groups of 3 and 4 passengers. It is important to note that rooms can differ slightly depending on it’s location on the ship. If you are traveling with a larger family, you may want to consider connecting rooms.

Interior Stateroom on Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas

Interior Staterooms

If you’re looking for an affordable option, an interior stateroom is a great choice. These rooms are the least expensive option when booking a cabin and can often save you considerable amounts of money compared to an ocean view or higher-level cabin. Of course, you will be sacrificing that ocean view, but you’ll still have all the same amenities and comforts as other staterooms, just in a smaller space.

The interior stateroom layouts vary slightly, depending on your party’s size. If there are three guests, the interior room will include two twin beds which can convert into a large queen bed and a single sofa bed. However, if you book an interior room for four guests, there are bunk-beds for passengers three and four.

Oceanview Staterooms

Standard ocean-view staterooms are the most affordable option for a view and offer a window to see the ocean. On average, they are about 18-20% larger than an interior cabin but still smaller than a balcony cabin. Standard ocean-view staterooms typically have two twin beds that can be pushed together to form a large queen, a small sitting area with a sofa or chairs, and a bathroom with a shower. The four guest configuration includes a double sofa bed instead of a single. Some may also have a small desk area.

The Oasis ships even offer a virtual balcony stateroom that provides a floor-to-ceiling view of the passing ocean in real-time.

Balcony Staterooms

As anyone who has sailed on a modern cruise ship knows, a balcony cabin is the preferred way to travel. When it comes to balcony cabins, Royal Caribbean is delivering huge numbers of balcony cabins on all its newest ships. My favorite balcony cabin is the oceanview, but there are additional and less costly options that view into the beautiful promenade and boardwalk as well.

The cabin traditionally offers two twin beds that can be converted into a larger queen bed, as well as a sleeper sofa and desk. The four guest configuration includes a double sofa bed instead of a single. The cabin will also have a large balcony with two chairs and a small table.

Suites

Suites on these ships offer an experience similar to what you would find on a luxury cruise. With perks like private butlers, access to a private restaurant and lounge, and priority boarding and disembarking, you’ll feel like royalty while sailing the seas.
