Royal Caribbean Ship Classes - Everything You Need To Know (2021) 

Symphony or Anthem

Oasis of the Seas

Harmony of the seas

Harmony of the seas

Anthem of the Seas

Hi Jeff, thanks for watching. While the newer Oasis class ships, Harmony and Symphony are almsot identical, I give the edge to Symphony with the truly incredible shows and more more recent additions of El Loco Fresh, Playmakers, Hooked Seafood and the redesigned Solarium. Honestly though, you can't go wrong with any of Royal Caribbean's ships.

Hi Tori, thanks for watching. Nice, so which one is your favorite overall?

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for watching. What a fantastic itinerary to see the fall colors. Have a great time!

Have a good trip

Hi Yiu Wai Chan, thanks for watching. Good point, Anthem of the Seas is very well designed for cruising year-round from the North East. I'm more a warmer weather cruiser, so I'm exited for Odyssey of the Seas to get to Florida, finally!

Hi Susan, thanks for watching. I am also a big fan of Oasis Class, but also like Freedom and Quantum/Ultra Class as well.

Hi Joanna, much appreciation to you and thanks for watching.

Hi Greg, thanks for watching. Enjoy your Halloween cruise on Harmony of the Seas.

Hi Darla, thanks for watching. I'm excited to sail on Wander of the Seas with the many changes form other Oasis class ships. The Quantum class ships are incredible in so many ways.

Hi LadyDors, thanks for watching.

Hi CoachDeb Dude, thanks for watching. Currently the AquaTheater is only available on Oasis-Class ships, which include Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, Symphony of the Seas & the brand new Wonder of the Seas.

Thanks, more of these to come for other cruise lines.

Hi Erika, thanks for watching.

Hi Cristina, thanks for watching. Your cruise selection process seems easy enough. My process usually starts with the ship or ship class, then I go from there.

Agree!

Hi Ravindra, thanks for watching. Glad you found our video helpful.

Hi Melvin, I hope you know I appreciate your consistent following of my videos on Talking Cruise. Glad you also enjoyed this video as I plan on updating it as new ships enter the fleet. I am also working on several for other cruise lines.

@@TalkingCruise I follow you on all lines except Carnival, which I have no interest in.

Hi ItsMitch, thanks for watching. They do allow this as long as at least one original guest name remains on the reservation.

@@TalkingCruise awesome, thanks!

Hi Tommy, thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Hi wndrss99, thanks for watching, Glad you found the video helpful.

Thanks Michelle, it was hard to make this video, reminiscing about the ships and cruises I've been on and didn't get to go on this past year.

Hi Sonicstatue, thanks for watching. I like Symphony as well, although I'm onboard Wonder of the Seas right now and I like the changes made to this Oasis class ship.

Hi Ms Maree, thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Hi antonytsai6611, thanks for watching. The Quantum class ships are very tight on the top decks not a lot of room to add slides that take up space. They could remove the splash areas, but then that would upset other guests with very small children.

@@TalkingCruise forgot about that but it would be cool to see

Hi Orchestra Adventures, thanks for watching. Both very different itineraries and ships. I think I'd give an edge to Freedom of the Seas, especially with the stop at Perfect Day at CocoCay.

also, at coco cay is the waterpark recommended even if there’s another ship?

If you like water parks, it is awesome, although I probably wouldn't pay over $75 per person. If there is another ship in port, get off as early as possible and head straight to the Daredevils Tower or the family oriented Splash Summit, those get long lines later morning into afternoon.

Hi George, thanks for watching. I do like the Radiance class ships, but I've not found Oasis Class ships to be overly crowded as the design does a great job of dispersing guests to/from major areas of activity.

Large ships are not for me. I spent half my time walking from one end to the other, and missed out on many activities. I'm paying $24 for internet, I think RC should throw in $2 to keep guest in contact with their travel party. Second, literature never said anything about $2 plan. I went days without knowing. I never knew that I could turn on my TV and watch us pulling into a port. And why was the "meet the crew" at the end of 7 days... this would've been helpful in 1st or 2nd day. Not embarkation day, but definitely the next day. I also think CocoCay would've been much nicer, if I knew where I was going. After I finally found my party, I was told there was a map at end of pier, after getting off ship. Why wasn't this map in our cabin so maybe I would've seen where to meet others in my travel party, before I left for the day. Weather sucked that day anyway, so it was a waste of money to book water equipment for use that day. Food at CocoCay made up for weather :) I enjoyed what I was able to do but, again, no amount of podcasts and literature prepared me for the walk from one end to the other. A map of ship, with deck maps... maybe even tell you normal walk time, like Google maps does. Just a suggestion. I think my party would agree, I was late most of the time because I forgot how far it was... also, having to go up or down a flight if stairs, to get a different elevator because couldn't walk through buffet to what's on the other side... only employees would know that! Kudos to every person I met that was staff! I'll cruise RC AGAIN! Next time, I'll leave from Tampa, where all of the ships are smaller.

Hi Hayley, thanks for watching. Good Idea!

Hi Md Amir Hakimi Md Hamdillah, thanks for watching.

Hi Janette, thanks for watching. Awesome, keep working your way through the Royal Caribbean fleet!

Hi John, thanks for watching. NCL and other area already planned.

Hi Jeremy, thanks for watching. I have connections with all of the cruise lines for b-roll footage.

Hi Warren, thanks for watching. Adventure of the Seas did go through a dry dock refurbishment, but not a true amplification. It was scheduled to get "amplified in 2021" and that was postponed. Specific details of what work Royal Caribbean was going to do onboard Adventure was not released.

@@TalkingCruise Thank you, I was on the first sailing after that, can't imagine it will actually be even better.

Thanks DragonRoblox Playz

Hi Alice, thanks for watching. Rhapsody of the Seas is under Vision Class ships, check it out around the 01:57 mark.

Thank you so much. I will be joining that ship as a crew staff

Hi liora;, thanks for watching. Definitely was not Allure, but I'm sorry your cruise was canceled.

@@TalkingCruise it was def a quantum class or a oasis class

Hi Josh, thanks for watching. Thats song is called Fashion Electronic Pop by BerryDeep.

Hi Goh Seok Khiang, thanks for watching. Unfortunately, I have not seen any stops in Singapore for her inaugural season.

Ok thx

Can you make a video of scrapped ships such as : song of norway, Nordic empress AKA empress of the season the sovereign class legend of the season and more ( I miss legend of the season I had ridden on her 2 time only as well as Mariner, she used to be in Singapore and I ridden on her twice as well so yep that's about it)

Hi maikeliRAIWALUI, thanks for watching. Sounds like a wonderful cruise, enjoy.

Hi Azmat, thanks for watching.

Hi Betty, thanks for watching. Allure of the Seas is a great ship.

Hi Scott, thanks for watching. I know, they just provided an update yesterday on the keel laying for Icon of the Seas, but no real new details.

The Icon class is being kept very secretive and sadly, there is barely any info we know

I am exited to see what is is

Hi M Boitnott, good choice!

Hi Thomas, thanks for watching. Not sure about how soon, but I hope for an end to the Conditional Sailing Order every day.

At this point nothing as to the specific size of Icon of the Seas has been officially announced. If it is bigger than Oasis class, I'd be interested exactly how much bigger. If it is minimal difference, why even bother!

Hi Travel Gypsy, thanks for watching. Sorry, we try to balance the music and voiceovers as much as possible.

Hi RyanTube HD, I did, keeping it trimmed, not looking to nest any woodland creatures in it. 😀

@@TalkingCruise LOL! Also, wonderful job with the video!

Hi Michael, thanks for watching. Everything around Icon of the Seas is speculation at this point. Royal Caribbean hasn't made any official announcements as to ship specifics.

@@TalkingCruise royal carebeien icon class was planed to be larger than the oasis class
