What do cruise cabin prices really buy? On Icon of the Seas, the cheapest cruise cabin examples start from under $1,500 a person for a week, while the Ultimate Family Townhouse, with its own slide, can cost close to $100,000 for the suite. This cruise ship documentary climbs the price ladder and meets the crew behind each room: the stateroom attendant, the suite concierge and the Royal Genie, Royal Caribbean's personal butler. We compare an inside cabin vs balcony, see cabins built on a factory line, and follow changeover day on Symphony of the Seas. Then we explore Royal Caribbean suites: what a junior suite really gets, the Sky Class neighbourhood and its Coastal Kitchen, and Star Class with a Royal Genie arranging a private dinner. We also visit the MSC Yacht Club, the Celebrity Edge Iconic Suite and the Disney Wish Tower Suite before reaching the family townhouse and asking which room offers the best value. If you are choosing between an inside cabin, a balcony, a junior suite or a cruise ship suite, this is a behind-the-scenes look at what each price really pays for. CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 00:59 1.
