Creator's Key Takeaways

This is an eight night sailing. Icon does not do eight night sailing. So, you are getting an extra night when sailing on Symphony of the Seas.

Now, leaving out of Texas and going to the Bahamas is very rare.

That group rate was locked in a year ago. Right now, that group rate space is $1,100 less than what you can book on the consumer website.

I'm only two hours from Galveston and you can get on this ship immediately. So, your vacation starts right away.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

At first glance, this Symphony of the Seas sailing may look similar in price to Icon of the Seas — but it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison. This is a rare 8-night July 4th sailing out of Galveston that goes all the way to Perfect Day at CocoCay, something Texas sailings almost never do. I locked in group pricing over a year ago, and that rate is currently about $1,100 less than what’s available on Royal Caribbean’s website today. Add in driving to the port, fewer flights, and an extra night onboard, and the value really adds up.
