Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean is gutting up our favorite quiet zones on the ship to build the most expensive no balcony suites at sea.

The window is your balcony. It's a 12t high wall of glass.

You're paying for 914 square ft, but because of how they carved this out of the carium, you actually get a private buffer zone from the hallway noise that most suites don't have.

If you need total darkness to sleep, these suites might frustrate you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Chat with your travel agent to check if your room has a support beam blocking the view.
โœ“Be vocal about your needs if you book an ultimate panoramic suite to maximize the genie service.
โœ“Consider booking the ocean view panoramic suite for a mid-view experience at a lower price point.
