Review summary

We had a very good cruise. First since COVID. My, we sure missed cruising.

5 out of 5

Very fast and efficient. I was impressed with how quickly we were able to board.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining room was very good for us. I cannot say there was one night that I did not enjoy the selection and quality of food. We were in and out in record time, little waiting on courses. Windjammer was pretty good overall, Solarium Bistro was better. Johnny Rockets was our favorite breakfast place. Pizza and Dog House was as good as our past cruises. Only negative was Chops. I thought the service was not good at all. Waiter did not listen to what we needed, in too much of a hurry and kept saying trust me on our sides. Shareable but tiny containers and not much in them. Waiter never came back until dessert so I had no sides, left them for other family members.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Solarium was never crowded and since enclosed was conditioned. Big plus and made the hot tubs even better since it was not hot in the area.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The diving show was amazing, our favorite. We saw it twice and it was by far the best show I have seen at sea. Ice show was excellent. Voices show was good, a little different with the technology, but talented singers and dancers. Remaining shows were good as well. Love and Marriage show was held one afternoon. We missed it, wish it was an evening show. Band playing in the Show stage, Centerview or something like that, was not for me. I heard other ships had good cover bands playing in that stage, but did not like this band on Wonder.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Stateroom attendant was the best. Worked so hard to please everyone. All waiters except Chops was excellent. Very good service. All staff throughout the ship was very friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Always cleaning throughout the ship. Some ship wear for the age of Wonder. Love the ship layout.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Balcony was on deck 8 and a good mid ship location.

Ship tip

Forgot to mention. I was not sure how I would like using their app. I liked it, the calendar, planner, booking capabilities. So important to pre book shows, dining, packages to get what you want and not worry about booking on the ship.
