Symphony of the Seas cruise ship deck plan shows a total of 2759 staterooms for 5518 passengers (max capacity is 6780) served by 2400 crew-staff. The boat has 17 decks (16 passenger-accessible, 11 with cabins), 22 restaurants and food bars, 26 lounges and bars, 9-deck-high Zip Line, 2 rock-climbing walls, 2 FlowRiders, 19 pools. (including 4 swimming pools, plus 1 for kids), 9 outdoor Jacuzzis (whirlpool hot tubs, including 2 cantilevered).

A total of 24 elevators (12x forward + 12x aft) provide access all the way to deck 16, while decks 17 and 18 are accessed by 6 lifts. Two escalators (1x forward + 1x aft) interconnect decks 2-3.

The ship's first drydock was a month-long project (May 20 thru June 2021) at Navantia Shipyard in Cadiz Spain. The drydocking was for routine maintenance works (done to cruise ships usually every 5 years) to keep them properly maintained. Symphony OTS's 2021 drydock included mainly technical works (propellers, fin stabilizers, bottom valves, hull painting) and classification inspection.
