Royal Caribbean's 'Symphony of the Seas' is currently docked in Malaga, Spain, where it looks like a giant among Malaga’s tiny apartment blocks. The ship weighs 228,000 tons, and at 362 meters long it is just 20 meters shorter than the Empire State Building in New York. “Symphony of the Seas” has a total eight decks and enough room on board to accommodate 8,000 people. Along with having 20 restaurants, there will be more than six bars including one where robots prepare the cocktails. Other attractions include a zip wire, ice rink, mini golf course, climbing walls, surf simulator and a full-size basketball court.
