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.

Central Park Cafe is great for grab and go food and quick sandwiches/salads. A nice, chill place to grab something to eat or drink without the chaos of the Promeande.

Make sure you keep up the washing and sanitizing. I think I forgot this at the casino and I have been sick since the last day on the ship.

Dont forget to pay extra for transfers to and from airport to ship. Its worth it to get the soda package so you're not stuck with water or juice. You are expecting a hot caribbean vacation. However, be prepared for rainy weather! We missed 3 out of 4 excursions due to tropical storm. We stayed on the ship most of our trip. If you go to port on rainy day, pack a rain jacket. If you are stuck on the ship, everything is air conditioned like the movie theaters and they get cold. Pack at least one set of warmer clothes just in case! Even though every single person in your party has to pay an 18% mandatory daily gratuity, bring extra cash to tip those special waiters and room attendants who make your stay so great. They work 13-14 hours per day on various parts of the ship so they've earned it! Also, some ports do not accept credit cards, so look into them and bring extra cash if needed.

Make onboard reservations early. If you have multiple rooms, tell them the room with the highest cruise member level. Otherwise they screw you.

Get the unlimited dinging and beverage (refreshment or deluxe) and if you have the means, get the off shore excursions which are worth it

If you want to get in line for something then do it earlier than expected, the ship is super busy all the time and people will line up for things earlier then you’d expect

Have realistic expectations with this many people - expect a line. You will wait, at least a little bit, for most things. The water slides, rock wall, sports courts and MDR (my time dining) will have a little bit of a wait. Sometimes the wait will be short, sometimes it could take a while. As long as you go in realizing the ship holds 7,000 people, you will have a good time. Due to personal preference, I will go back to the 3,000-ish capacity ships in the future whether it's for a family or couples trip. However, we did enjoy Wonder of the Seas and the staff is great.

My favorite place on the ship was the Royal Promenade where I got pizza, snacks and my special coffee.
