Symphony of the Seas Oceanview Cabin
Let’s tour an oceanview stateroom on Symphony of the Seas – a cabin tour with photos!
This tour will help if you are trying to decide between an inside, oceanview or balcony on your Symphony of the Seas cruise.
We recently sailed Royal Caribbean for the first time after many cruises on Celebrity, Princess, and Holland America.
On our previous cruises we have booked interior rooms as well as balcony staterooms and for this 8 night Southern Caribbean Cruise we opted to try an oceanview cabin on this Oasis class ship.

Our Royal Caribbean oceanview cabin was on the third deck.
First Impressions of an Oceanview Cabin on Royal Caribbean
I was soo impressed by how light and bright our oceanview cabin was on Symphony! The window was so much larger than I expected!
To the left you can see the wall-mounted TV and some drawers.
In stateroom 3198 the bed is by the window and the couch is nearer to the door as seen below.
Sofa Area
Storage Space
Beside the couch is a cupboard with shelves and a small safe. There are also two small drawers at the bottom of this cupboard.
Queen Bed
We opted to have the bed pushed together and as you can see there was a small space on either side of the bed that act as a nightstand.
Cruise Cabin Window
The window in our oceanview room 3198 on Symphony of the Seas was a round window, divided in the center.
The window is so large that an adult person can actually sit in there like a little hamster on its wheel. 🙂
Closet
Turning around and going back toward the entrance you can see on the right side of the couch is a closet with hangers.
There were a combination of regular wooden hangers as well as wooden hangers with the clips attached for pants or skirts.
To the right of that closet is the bathroom door.
Bathroom
The bathroom on Symphony of the Seas is a really spacious and modern cruise ship bathroom.
There is no shower curtain, but instead a full glass shower! A dispenser in the shower supplies body wash/shampoo combo.
Pro Tip: Bring Your Own Shampoo & Conditioner
IMO the shampoo is not the greatest here and there is no conditioner supplied, so you may want to consider bringing your favorite shampoo/conditioner with you.
This cruise ship bathroom is spacious and bright. There is a large mirror and three shelves to the right along with a shelf underneath the sink.
Cruise Entertainment Schedule
It was nice to find in our stateroom a rundown of all the shows scheduled during our cruise consolidated to one sheet on embarkation day.
Royal Caribbean Tip: Use the Royal Caribbean App to reserve your space at each show you are interested in. This was the first time we experienced needing to reserve our showtimes on a cruise.

View From Oceanview Cabin 3198 & Review
Here’s a view of Celebrity Apex from our Oceanview room window at the port in Florida.
What do you think of the view?
I was so impressed with our oceanview stateroom.
As mentioned at the outset, this was our first time booking an oceanview cabin and I absolutely loved it.
We saved a good bit booking an oceanview instead of a balcony, but having this window made a huge difference to me compared to an inside cabin.
I would definitely recommend keeping an eye out for an oceanview if you like natural light in your room, but are on a tighter budget!
