Curiosities of Symphony of the Seas

Such a large boat certainly offers us many curiosities, some of which I have found:

Symphony of the Seas is 5 times bigger than the Titanic.

The Suite Royal RL has space for 6 passengers, 2 bedrooms distributed on 2 floors, private balcony, panoramic views and a ‘reasonable price of 21,303 Euros per person plus taxes’ for 13 days cruising to Miami from Barcelona and Malaga. If you had planned to reserve it I am afraid it is no longer available,  looks like a bargain.

Some rooms feature gift packs such as climbing sessions, refreshment pack, bottle of wine, free lunch or private casino gaming lessons.

For those who like unaccompanied cruise trips, there are single-passenger studies. This bedroom has exterior virtual views in real time through a flat screen.

Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, Italian, German and Spanish are spoken on board.

The following video shows in detail many of the features I have mentioned in this article.

If you arrive to Malaga port

If you are one of the lucky passengers already planning your next adventure, we recommend that you take advantage of the cruise’s stop at Malaga Port during your itinerary.

The cruise to Miami, which will depart on 28 October, arrives to Malaga at 7 am and departs again at 6 pm on the same day. Time enough to visit the historical centre and some of the monuments of the city. If you wish you can book a private transfer from the port of Málaga for convenience, a private vehicle will pick you up and take you back in time before continuing the trip.
