It was a nice ship, but I feel we paid a premium because it was the "biggest &, newest," and not much different than the Oasis or Freedom class. I wouldn't book it again. The staff was awesome. We had issues with our cabin; the sliding door seal broke twice, the bathroom was extrememely small for a suite, and not enough outlets in the room. Playmakers restaurant was great!

Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Playmakers was GREAT! Service was quick & hot, but weren't enough appetizer options. Each night had a different theme to cater to all guests, but we skipped 2 nights due to choices not appealing to our taste. The Windjammer buffet always looked full, but we never had a problem finding a seat. They had multiple stations of the same food, so lines weren't a problem. I didn't think there were as many dessert choices as in the past.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
There were plenty of options, but we didn't do any activities except Bingo & Royal Society of Puzzles
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Skating show was 5-stars, Diving show was 5-starts, theater show is 1-star (the sound was so loud, we held our ears and eventually left. And didn't care for the show itself). There was no Broadway show. We didn't care for the Royal Society of Puzzles.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The staff was amazing and accomodating. The only time we had a slight issue is when I went into afib on a top deck, a family member asked a server at a pool bar for water, and the first person wanted to charge her. She insisted it was for a medical emergency, and someone else working gave the ok to give one to her.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Everything was clean. Design is exactly like Oasis classes
Cabin / Stateroom
2 out of 5
The balcony is the best part, except when trying to sleep while the water show is going on. The bathroom is extremely small for a suite. The floor size was 3x4, with a single sink. VERY disappointing! The sliding door seal broke twice, so we had difficulty closing & locking, and it wouldn't seal shut. It was repaired onsite the first time, and the door was completely removed the second time and taken to maintenance for repair. There is only ONE outlet in the living area (at the vanity). We had 4 people in the room, so a lot of sharing outlets. The hideaway bed in the couch is uncomfortable, for 2 people, so we insisted on a rollaway, even though we were told prior to sailing when requested that the room wouldn't accommodate it. Very limited TV programing. There were 2 slivers of glass in the carpet that got stuck in one of our feet. Maintenance had to repair a light over a bedroom nightstand because it was dangling free by a wire
Confused by the comment about it not being much different than Oasis or Freedom class? Wonder IS an Oasis class ship, so it would naturally be similar in size and design. Perhaps you were thinking of the newer Icon class?
Wonder is very different from Freedom class, so I don't know what to make of that one at all.
