To celebrate my daughter's birthday, we spent six nights in a two-bedroom AquaTheater suite on the Wonder of the Seas.
The stateroom is one of the Star Class suites, which means it has the top benefits offered by Royal Caribbean and is one of the most palatial staterooms. For my family of 4, the price came out to $13,000 for the 6-night cruise.
We had originally booked Harmony of the Seas but Royal Caribbean changed deployments and swapped out Harmony for the cruise line's newest mega ship, the Wonder of the Seas.
Take a tour of spacious my hotel room at sea complete with views of the ocean and two bedrooms.
Let's take a look around my room complete with views of the ocean, two bedrooms, living room, and plenty of storage.
My suite is located on deck nine, near the Boardwalk neighborhood...
...an outdoor area that has dining and entertainment.
My stateroom is located at the end of the deck, which means it is a far walk to the elevators. But it has a ton of living space.
When I tapped my room key card and opened the door, I walked into the living room.
This suite has two bedrooms, let's start with the master bedroom.
It has a bed, desk, television, and so much closet space.
Next to each side of the bed are built-in outlets, including USB outlets.
The plush bed is surrounded by a wood structure with two large closets on the left of the bed.
The two full-size closets have hangers provided for you
We found the amount of closet space to be more than we needed, even on a seven night cruise
Like all staterooms, there is a safe for personal documents, cash, and any other valuables
The master bathroom has a shower and tub, with adjustable shower head.
All suites have a bathtub in addition to a shower (even Junior Suites)
The shower head can be detached, as well as moved up and down for optimal positioning
There's also a long, yet narrow, countertop with sink.
The other bedroom can sleep up to 4 people, with two pullman beds that can be opened from the walls.
The second bedroom has its own door, which makes for better privacy for anyone sleeping here.
It also has its own television, along with desk and mirror.
Across from the second bedroom is a full bathroom
Each shower has upgraded shower toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, and body wash
Hand soap is included as well
The living room curtains and air conditioning are controlled by a touch panel, which you can use to open or close curtains.
Now let's move into the living room
The living room has a large couch, table with chairs, and comfortable chair
The table is the perfect spot for snacks or meals delivered by room service
There is also a large television in the living room
The in-room coffee maker can make a quick cup of coffee anytime you want
The "pièce de résistance" of the AquaTheater suite is the balcony.
There are two balcony doors, one in the living room and one in the master bedroom
All AquaTheater suites are on the back of the ship, with a giant wrap-around balcony that extends to both sides of the cabin
As the name implies, you can get perfect views of the AquaTheater during any of the evening performances
There is also a very large table for gatherings on the balcony
Royal Caribbean also included lots of chairs and loungers to use while on the balcony
Arguably the best benefit of this suite is the Royal Genie services, which provides VIP privileges to everyone staying in the cabin.
While not cheap, I felt overall the suite delivered on a luxurious space for my family with an expansive amount of living space that make it a good option for families looking to splurge.
