Cabin 1704 · Symphony of the Seas

Cabin 1704 is a Crown Loft Suite on Symphony of the Seas. There is a double sofa bed.

Cabin 1704 is a Crown Loft Suite on Deck 18 of Symphony of the Seas, midship. You are at the top of the passenger decks, so the pools and the open air are just up the stairs, and you feel the ship move more than anyone below you. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

You are practically next door to the aft lift bank, 0 cabins along. Nothing on board is a shorter walk. The price is footsteps past your door and the lift chiming at odd hours. The aft lift and stair lobby on deck 18, one of the two vertical routes through the ship. Worth knowing: handy to be near and noisy to be next to. The doors chime and the lobby is a natural place for people to stand and talk at any hour. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it scores 9 out of 10, so almost everything is a short walk.

Of the 23 cabin positions on Deck 18, this is the 4th from forward.

It is booked as a Crown Loft Suite. At suite level you are buying more than square feet. Suites almost always carry priority boarding and priority disembarkation, and the higher grades on most lines add a restaurant, a lounge or a sun deck of their own. Junior and entry level suites often get none of that, so it is worth checking what this particular grade includes rather than assuming the whole list comes with the word.

There is a loyalty argument for this room as well as a comfort one. Crown and Anchor counts a suite night as two cruise points against one for a standard room, so the same week aboard moves you up the tiers twice as fast. Book it solo at the double occupancy fare and it counts three a night. Checked against the line's own published terms on 8 September 2026.

Against the rest of the ship it is quieter than 87 per cent of the 2,798 cabins on board, steadier in a swell than 87 per cent of them and as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits light sleepers, travellers prone to seasickness and families running back to the cabin several times a day.
