Review summary

Great ship with amazing crew. All the crew were amazing. Plenty of activities to do every day. The app was a little slow and glitchy. I definitely recommend Wonder of the Seas.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very quick and simple process

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Didn’t eat in the main dining room at all but food throughout the ship was good

Sorrentos

5 out of 5

Pizza is good as always. You can order a whole pizza but they don’t have boxes so they put it on a plate with a plate on top and the plate tends to slide when walking. They need to get boxes or something that is better than that for taking whole pizzas back to your room.

English Pub

5 out of 5

Great drinks and friendly bartenders!

Boardwalk Dog House

5 out of 5

Hot dogs are good. Nice to grab when on the boardwalk. Line could get a little chaotic though because there was no signage as to where the start of the line was. They have potato salad and coleslaw as side options.

Wonderland

5 out of 5

Experience is amazing. I am kind of a picky eater so I didn’t care for most of the appetizers but I got the branzino as the main course and it was one of the best things I ate all cruise. I highly recommend trying it at least once.

Windjammer Cafe'

5 out of 5

Love the layout. Finding a seat was difficult at times. The breakfast food was the same every day. They did have a good selection of food for breakfast and lunch though.

The Mason Jar Southern Restaurant and Bar

5 out of 5

Cute southern themed restaurant with live country music. For appetizers the pimento cheese, crab beignets, and deviled eggs are really good. For mains the St. louis ribs are really good the fried chicken I thought was kinda dry but ok. The mac and cheese is really good. The fried oreos are really good as well. Our server was fantastic.

The Lime and Coconut

5 out of 5

Only went once but it is a nice bar that has frozen drinks.

The Attic

5 out of 5

Great venue with amazing bar wait staff to get drinks for you.

Sugar Beach

4 out of 5

Nice place but the candy is charged per ounce and it adds up quickly so we spent $30 on a bag of gummy candy that wasn’t even full to the top. The price per ounce is $1.10. The dispensers for the gummy candy are really difficult to use the gummies stick and are hard to get out. It is a 2 person job to get the gummy candy. The other dispensers are easier to use.

Starbucks

5 out of 5

Great friendly service the few times I went. They have a starbucks wonder of the seas mug available.

Room Service

5 out of 5

Room service is good as always. Got room service many times and it always seemed to arrive quicker than expected. Food was also always hot.

Park Cafe

5 out of 5

Love the Cuban at Park Cafe. The food is so good and great selection to choose from. They do have chips but you have to ask for them. They should have a sign saying they have chips.

Johnny Rockets

5 out of 5

Love going to Johnny Rockets for lunch on every cruise that has one. Delicious as always. Breakfast is also very good and is included.

Izumi

5 out of 5

Hibachi was amazing. They let you mix and match the protein options to create your own combo. Rice is so good. The chef was so nice and funny.

Hooked Seafood

5 out of 5

The seafood is so good and our waiter was amazing

Giovanni's Italian Kitchen

5 out of 5

One of my favorite specialty restaurants by far. The chicken parmesan is so good. The tiramisu is to die for.

Chops Grille

4 out of 5

Had a better experience this time compared to a previous visit. Not my favorite specialty restaurant.

Cafe Promenade

5 out of 5

Great coffees that are included with the drink packages. They do have some sandwich and dessert options.

Boleros

5 out of 5

Great drinks!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Great selection of activities offered

The Perfect Storm Waterslides

5 out of 5

Super fun!

Main Pool

5 out of 5

All the pools were great only went in the pool once when we docked in cococay because they were crowded the rest of the time. The pool deck does get extremely hot though so make sure you have shoes.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Great selection

Aquatheater

4 out of 5

My least favorite water show at of all the Oasis class ships. Show was kinda boring especially at the beginning not very much diving involved. Very repetitive. A lot of people left early

Art Gallery

5 out of 5

Beautiful art but didn’t purchase any. Anytime I walked by no one was pushy or trying to sell me anything which I appreciated. They did make an announcement in the morning on Day 7 into the room about the art auction which I don’t think was necessary.

Promenade Shops

4 out of 5

The Royal Caribbean shop selection was ok but not the best compared to other ships. Some things that I like to get on every cruise they didn’t have on Wonder. They have a lot of shops that don’t interest me such as liquor/perfume, jewelry, and designer purses.

Studio B

5 out of 5

The Ice Show was amazing

Spotlight Karaoke

3 out of 5

Way too small of a space for a ship that holds this amount of people. You had to show up at least 30-45 minutes early to any trivia held there to be able to get a seat other wise you had to sit on the floor or stand.

Focus Gallery

5 out of 5

Super helpful staff and they have a lot of computers and tablets to view your pictures on. They had a separate pickup line so it took only a couple minutes to pick up pictures compared to other ships that take a while. They had multiple spots to get pictures taken every night.

Casino Royale

5 out of 5

Didn’t win anything but enjoyed playing the slot machines.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was all amazing

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was always clean except the elevators that often had spilled drinks in them and a sticky floor as a result of drinks that were spilled.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was clean with the exception of hair that was stuck on the side of the wall at the bottom on the balcony. Very quiet didn’t hear much noise except for people walking by outside that were loud. Someone did bang on our door at 4 AM I assume it probably was a teenager. Bed was pretty comfortable. When the couch pull out at the bottom was out you had no room to get by to get to the balcony so we had to push it in.

Ship tip

Book shows and dining early if you can but don’t worry if you can’t. More spots open up as soon as you board.

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Nice port close to home. They do need to have the shuttle to the parking lot operating when the ship gets back though.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Didn’t get off but have been in the past and it looks like a great port especially if you pay for the water park

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

5 out of 5
Very nice port with good shops. Wish we had more time.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
I went before but this time the ship docked in a way better area than last time. Senor Frogs was a lot of fun.

Coxen Hole, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Not a whole lot of shops right in the area of the port

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Process of getting off was seamless and quick.

Glad you enjoyed it. A ice shows are usually my favourite for when on a ship that has an ice skating facilities. I usually make it a priority to see or book these shows over other types of shows
