Do cruise ships have large suites?

There are only from 4 to 6 Two-Bedroom Grand Suites with a Balcony available on Oasis class ships including Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas, and Symphony of the Seas. Two-Bedroom Grand Suites with a Balcony are extremely popular among multi-generational families with kids.



Modern cruise ships in 2026 offer some of the largest and most luxurious suites in the travel industry, often rivaling the presidential suites of five-star land-based hotels. Luxury lines like Regent Seven Seas and SilverSea feature massive accommodations like the "Regent Suite," which can span over 4,000 square feet and include private spas, in-suite saunas, and expansive wrap-around balconies. Even mainstream lines like Royal Caribbean and Disney Cruise Line have "mega-suites," such as the Ultimate Family Suite or the two-story Funnel Suites found on the newer Disney ships. These high-end rooms typically come with "concierge-level" perks, including private butlers, exclusive access to VIP lounges and pools, and priority boarding. For 2026 travelers, these suites are often marketed as a "ship-within-a-ship" experience, allowing guests to enjoy the amenities of a massive vessel while retreating to a spacious, quiet, and ultra-private sanctuary that feels like a private yacht.

The safety measures that cruise lines have on balconies are not foolproof. Kids can be very creative to get what they want. Always keep the balcony door locked, and accompany your children on the balcony. Talk to your kids about balcony safety and explain your rules, even if your kids are older and should know better.

Your balcony is somewhat private, but gaps around the dividers mean others might get an eyeful if you're not careful. As well, sounds can travel. At first glance, there's no one around to see you if you end up getting down on the balcony. But don't think that it is ultra-private.
