Our group of 3 stayed in a 149-square-foot interior cabin, the cheapest and smallest option for us.
With a queen-sized bed, a sleeper sofa, and no windows, the cabin was cozy and functional.
My family of three spent a week on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas, one of the world's largest cruise ships.We boarded Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas in Miami, Florida.

Our 149-square-foot interior stateroom was the smallest, cheapest option for us. I paid about $1,768 for two adults and one child.The interior cabin had no windows and very limited space for us to sit.

The main bed could be configured as a single queen or two twins.The main bed could convert into two twins, but we kept it as a queen.

I like having my phone close by at night, so I was surprised to see just one outlet by the bed.Luckily, the outlet was located on my side of the bed.

I found our cabin to be modest yet functional, with two tall wardrobes that helped us avoid clutter.The ample storage compartments freed up space in the room.

My suitcase fit underneath the bed, and I stored it there for the duration of the voyage.The queen-sized bed was high enough to fit our large suitcases underneath it.

The room also had a desk, a mini fridge, and a dresser that provided additional storage.The TV was directly about the dresser.
Amanda Adler
The outlets in the desk area offered a variety of different plug types.My family made use of the outlets and USB slots.

The stateroom also featured a simple couch.The couch pulled out into a bed for our son.

We turned it into a small bed for our 9-year-old, but I wouldn't recommend it for an adult.The couch bed was short and felt very firm.

The couch remained pulled out, so we squeezed together into the bed to watch TV.The TV swiveled to face the couch or the bed, so we had no problem watching it while relaxing.

Like the rest of the cabin, the bathroom had a practical design but was minuscule in size.The bathroom in our cabin was small, as expected, but manageable.
Amanda Adler
I was surprised by the amount of counter space, which was great for getting ready.The bathroom vanity provided enough space for me in the morning.
Amanda Adler
Luckily I brought my own toiletries since the shower canister only had a shampoo-and-soap mixture.The absence of complimentary conditioner was a huge miss for me.
Amanda Adler
There was no window, and I found the art and decor lackluster.I wasn't a huge fan of the art throughout the interior cabin.
Amanda Adler
Seating areas were limited, so we ate our room-service breakfast at the desk.The room-service tray took up all available counter space.
Amanda Adler
I spent most of my time in the common areas, like the Boardwalk, which was near our room.The Boardwalk had a carousel, arcade games, dining options, rock-climbing walls, and the AquaTheater.
Amanda Adler
The stateroom was also steps away from the ship's Royal Promenade.The Royal Promenade housed several bars, coffee spots, shopping, and daily activities.
Amanda Adler
The Ultimate Abyss slide on the top deck was a fun way to descend 10 stories, right to my cabin.The Ultimate Abyss slide was a fun transportation option.

Overall, the cabin's size and lack of views were worth the lower fare, and the other parts of the ship made up for the shortcomings.The Symphony of the Seas docked at its private island, CocoCay.
