So to make the right splash, Royal Caribbean just waited a few years and added a subtle “Ultra” to the class name. Three years after Ovation’s debut, the wait has allowed the company to incorporate the latest technology as well as introduce numerous improvements in what is now known as the Quantum Ultra class. In an outstanding family, this generation’s newest ship — let’s call her “cruise cousin” — truly stands out.
Ship Within a Ship
Fully redesigned with the Chinese market in mind, the entire extravagant ship is decked with signage in both Chinese and English, making it friendly and accessible to all 4,216 passengers.
New on Spectrum of the Seas is the private suite area, located between Decks 13 and 16. It is an exclusive neighborhood, only accessible with a special keycard. Guests of the 36 Golden suites or 106 Silver suites will enjoy a dedicated lounge and restaurant. Golden suite guests are treated to The Balcony, an exclusive private outdoor terrace offering outstanding panoramic views from the most forward part of the ship. A must-visit is The Boutique, a high-end shopping area where you can reserve your own private shopping experience, wine tasting, or small gathering. The private suite travelers are also provided a team of concierges dedicated toenhancing the Spectrum experience, with exclusive room service, Royal embarkation, and access to additional food and beverage benefits.
