Usually, Bruce and I sail on medium- to large-sized ships, such as Celebrity Beyond and Sky Princess. They are manageable with roughly 3,000 passengers. But for this short four-day cruise we decided on Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas.
Walking on board we were greeted by a giant promenade. Guest Services were right in front of us, and to the right were shops and restaurants, and on the upper floors were balcony cabins.
We decided to drop our bags off in our room before attempting to find our muster station.
The skyline of Miami looked ominous, a prediction of cool and rainy weather ahead!
Our room is spacious with a lot of storage, a couch, a mini refrigerator, and a safe. The balcony is large.
The Boardwalk was interesting with Johnny Rockets, several bars, the Aqua Theater, and a carousel.
We had a great dinner in the main dining room with our female waiter and her assistant. I had escargot and prime rib.
We walked around the ship and there was a Christmas Tree Lighting.
On our deck – 12 – there’s an interesting restaurant called Wonderland. It’s a take on Alice in Wonderland. We didn’t eat there but heard it is an experience.
Many of the shows were sold out but Bruce and I wandered into the theater just minutes before showtime. The crew member said that many people book shows but don’t show up. Anyway, the show was great!
We went to the spa for a while before casino time!
In the morning we had coffee in our room and it was cold and dreary out on the balcony. We decided to stay in so we went to the spa.
Then we spent some time in the solarium, an adults-only area.
We had lunch in the Windjammer and then walked through Central Park.
Now we are taking a nap before dinner. At our table, we can see the rocky seas.
This ship has a lot to offer. It’s like being in a small city. The elevators have been a little easier today. At least the wait has not been as long and sometimes we don’t stop at every floor.
A metal cowboy hat is part of the ambiance of the promenade.
So our four day vacay on the Wonder of the Seas has been fun and not as chaotic as I thought. The ship is so big that the crowds have plenty of places to hang out!
