Is The Symphony of the Sea All Inclusive?

The cruise line expects to roll out a final and largest-ever ship with Wonder of the Seas, due to be completed in 2022. All put together, the Oasis class is filled with the world's largest passenger ships. Is Symphony of the Seas all-inclusive? Symphony of the Seas is not all-inclusive, but it is pretty inclusive.



No, Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas is not strictly "all-inclusive." Your base fare covers your stateroom, entertainment (like the spectacular AquaTheater shows), and meals at "complimentary" venues such as the Main Dining Room, Windjammer Buffet, and Sorrento's Pizza. However, many premium experiences require an extra fee. This includes Specialty Dining (like Wonderland or Chops Grille), alcoholic beverages, sodas, and "VOOM" high-speed internet. Most guests choose to purchase a "Deluxe Beverage Package" or a "Dining Package" to make the experience feel more inclusive. Additionally, gratuities (tips) are typically charged as a daily per-person fee unless prepaid. While you can certainly have a fantastic vacation without spending an extra dime, most travelers should budget for these "onboard extras" to enjoy the full range of the ship's massive amenities.
