On one of the biggest cruise ships in the world, you'll find a giant suite that has more space and amenities than you ever thought possible on a cruise ship.
Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas has an entire neighborhood dedicated to just suites, and it's where you'll find some of the largest cabins on any cruise ship.
The Royal Loft Suite is one of the biggest suites on the ship, and also one of the most expensive. It comes with the ship's best perks, known as Star Class. It comes with complimentary drink package, specialty dining, gratuities, and the services of the Royal Genie.

It's a big room with the best benefits Royal Caribbean offers, and we got a chance to tour the cabin. Let's take a look inside.
The Royal Loft Suite has its own entrance on deck 18
The Royal Loft Suite is located within the suite neighborhood, which is an area of the ship that only has suite cabins. There are suites on other decks too, but this area is reserved exclusively for suite guests.
Unlike other suites that share a common hallway, the Royal Loft Suite has its own glass door that stops anyone from even reaching the actual door to the cabin. It's like its own mini-hallway.
A chime outside the glass door rings inside the cabin to allow entry.
Guests are welcomed into the foyer
As you walk into the Royal Loft Suite, it becomes apparent quickly this is a very different cruise ship cabin.
There is a baby grand piano on your right, a wet bar on your left, and floor-to-ceiling windows leading to the balcony.
The look of the room is also quite opulent, with hardwood floors and marble furnishings.
This suite features a large living room and dining area
Sprawling is the best word to describe this cabin, as the main floor has a dining room table that can seat up to 8 people.
Room service is included with this suite, and that includes being able to order food from specialty restaurants or the Main Dining Room. Guests staying in this cabin are able to have their meal served in the dining room.
To the right is the living room, and it has lots of space to relax.
There is a large couch, chair, and even a pair of hanging rocking chairs. I especially liked the couch had a chaise to it, making it far more comfortable for lounging.
There are two floors, with the master bedroom exclusively on the upper level
As the name implies, there is an upper loft area that is just for the master bedroom and bath.
Stairs lead to the upper level, where you'll find a king size bed. The bed overlooks the rest of the suite and has views to the windows, providing ocean views.
If you need privacy, a curtain can be extended by the push of a button to completely envelop the bedroom.
Behind the bed are more closets than you could possibly need, with floor-to-ceiling doors that offer drawers and hanging space.
The master bathroom has an amazing shower
The amount of extra space continues into the master bath, with dual sinks and lots of counter space.
Within the shower is a rainforest shower with a pair of handheld shower heads, along with various nozzles.
There's also a soaking tub nearby.
The toilet is separated by a door, and has a remote controlled bidet.
The balcony is smaller than other Royal Loft Suites, but has a better location
I was surprised by how much smaller the balcony space was on this balcony compared to the Royal Loft Suite balcony on Allure of the Seas, but Royal Caribbean made up for it with an ocean view that doesn't have the privacy issues other ships have.
The balcony has its own hot tub to enjoy, along with a table and chairs nearby.
There's also two more hanging rocking chairs that face the ocean, along with a wet bar and television.
The second bedroom has space for additional guests
On the lower floor is the second bedroom, which can sleep an additional two guests. The bed does not separate.
This room has its own doorway, along with storage and even a chair. Just like the master bedroom, the television retracts down from the ceiling.
While the bathroom is not nearly as large as the master bathroom, it's still quite nice and has multiple faucets inside the shower.
The Royal Loft Suite comes with a genie
Just as important as the room is the services of the Royal Genie, who isn't quite a butler, but is just as helpful.
The genie is responsible for three cabins on Wonder of the Seas, and assists with just about every need their guests might have. Dinner reservations, seats for a show, escorting on and off the ship, and even getting elevators for their guests are just some of the benefits they provide.
Think of a genie as an "easy button" for the cruise, where you don't need to pre-book things and simply inform the genie what you want to do, and they will make it happen.
The Royal Loft Suite is one of the biggest and over-the-top suites you can book on a cruise ship
Cruise ships have become well-known for offering incredible experiences that you can't believe are available at sea, and this suite certainly fits the bill.
Suite accommodations are not about providing a dollar-for-dollar value, but rather, an option for the well-to-do that can afford it. Walking through the cabin, you quickly get a sense this is unlike other cruise ship cabins (or even lesser suites).
The combination of sprawling space and services of the Royal Genie mean anyone willing to pay the price tag to enjoy a stay here.
