This Type of Royal Caribbean Ship is MISSING Something: A HUGE Mistake

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator explores the Oasis class ships from Royal Caribbean, specifically the Symphony of the Seas, to highlight what they consider a significant design flaw. While acknowledging the ships are massive technological wonders with endless activities, the creator argues that the vessels are excessively inward looking. They observe that many central areas, including the Royal Promenade, Central Park, and various specialty restaurants, lack windows providing views of the ocean. This design creates a mall like atmosphere where passengers can lose track of the time of day or weather conditions. The creator notes that while ocean view cabins and suites offer beautiful scenery, many other cabin types and public lounges are oriented toward the interior of the ship. They suggest this may be a purposeful decision to encourage spending in onboard venues. Ultimately, the creator compares these ships to older Royal Caribbean classes and competitors like Norwegian, noting that newer ships like the Icon of the Seas appear to be addressing these concerns by incorporating more glass and outward facing views.
