I found the same issue on this sailing to Australia from Singapore. I have contacted Royal Caribbean and been told it is a marketing ploy to get singles to book the full size cabin. It annoys me that my brother and sister in law can book and pay $2177 pp for an obstructed balcony cabin.
if that game is being played then change your Frequently Asked Questions answer to an honest one.
‘Although we don't have specific pricing for single occupancy, we do offer studio staterooms on select ships. The advantage of these studio staterooms is that they can be reserved by someone cruising alone without the usual single supplement fee, which doubles the cost of the cruise fare. We offer an inside studio stateroom, virtual balcony staterooms - as well as a super studio ocean view stateroom with balcony - and these rooms range in size from 101 square feet to 199 square feet. They're the perfect option for someone who wants to cruise alone and are available on Brilliance of the Seas, Anthem of the Seas, Quantum of the Seas, Ovation of the Seas, Harmony of the Seas and Spectrum of the Seas.’
