Wonder of the Seas

First Cruise

November

Pros: The ship was beautiful and clean

Cons: The Spa being located under the Gym was a very poor design decision. You can hear people jumping up and down and dropping weights, etc. It kills the zen vibe that a spa should have.

Recommended: Yes

Best cruise ever!

November

Pros: So much to do, relaxing, top tier service, not too crowded, incredible food, amazing shows

Cons: none!

Recommended: Yes

Exceptional Good Time

June

Pros: Exceptional service, Exceptional activities, Exceptional good food from many different countries.

I highly recommend this cruise. Wonder of the Seas is the only way to cruise.

Wonderful Wonder

May

Pros: Aqua and Ice shows may be the best in the fleet

Cons: Bathroom doors make a loud

Recommended: Yes

Technical problems caused several shows to be canceled throughout the sailing, with most being rescheduled. On another note, Hideaway Beach is the best thing ever

Wonder of the Seas, May 18-25, 2025

May

Pros: Excellent ship, top notch staff who learns your name quickly and addresses you by name each time they see you. Main Dining room food is excellent.

Cons: Disappointed in the Windjammer. Tons of food to eat, but too much that I don't care for. Grits should be of the texture that you eat them with a fork, not a straw.

Recommended: Yes

My cruise was 7 nights, which I am discovering is too long for me. Probably a four night cruise fits me better.

Wonder of the Seas

April

Pros: great ship, hardly feel the ship moving, excellent service, so much to do on board

Cons: the islands we visited were no that great, excursions and packages were a bit expensive

Recommended: Yes

overall had a great time on vacation, wonder of the seas is everything i wanted it to be. the only issue we had was everything was a bit pricey and the excursions we went on were very lack luster and a waste of money and time.

Celebrating 50 years of marriage

April

Pros: Awesome support staff is all areas of the ship - everyone was friendly, upbeat and really excited to see you!

Cons: Time went too quick!

Recommended: Yes

Mel at Starbucks, Michael and Ida at the main dining room Deck 3 at 5 pm setting, Jose - head of dining room, Reslie - head chef, and Timothy - my room steward - each of these individuals went out of their way to make my week of cruising phenomenal!! I truly appreciate them going the 2nd mile on a daily basis. I had the best time on this ship!!! Thank you for making our week extra special!

Spalding Spring Break Cruise

April

Pros: Shows, Staff, Food

Cons: Small Staterooms, Not enough storage space. Few drawers with minimal hanging space

Recommended: Yes

I loved the ship. Great staff. RCI has upped its game on entertainment. The room was small for four people. There was not much storage space in the room. Luckily, we had two rooms to share, or we wouldn't have had enough. The verandah was a good size. There were very clean areas throughout the ship.

Cruise Review by Dave and Carol Dulaney

February

Pros: The staff were all attentative and personable. Very organized and helpful.

Cons: Some of the shows on the ship were great but others centered on the "Dark side of Life."

Recommended: Yes

We loved all the excursions that we went on!! We had booked them through, "Shore Excursions Group."

WONDERful Vacation

March

Pros: Great entertainment. Delicious food. Everyone was so happy and kind

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

We had a wonderful time

Great ship lacking in comfortable adult-only areas

February

Pros: Food options, clean, comfortable beds, great shows

Cons: Adult-only solarium was a sauna

Recommended: Yes

We loved Wonder, but found ourselves yearning for the lovely breezy Solarium on the Oasis of the Seas. The Solarium on Wonder is completely enclosed, so there is no breeze and the hot, humid air is just trapped in there. Otherwise, the ship was just . . . well, wonderful. There was never a super long wait for an elevator, and the food just really can't be beat. We never ate in the main dining room, choosing instead to hit up the Windjammer for pretty much every meal. And we didn't regret that once!! Our cabin didn't feel cramped at all. There were plenty of places to put clothes, shoes, toiletries, etc. There were many outlets and USB ports. We had an ocean view balcony, which I very much enjoyed. The only thing was that the chairs were zip-tied to the most awkward semi-reclining position. I wish I they had been in a more up-right position, which would have been better for reading. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, and they kept that ship immaculate. The shows were great and included talented performers. We enjoyed the daily puzzles and trivia, and the Bingo. There was always something to do!

Wonder of the Seas

January

Pros: Great food, staff in all areas of the ship were amazing and extremely attentive, tons of onboard activities for everyone, shows were easy to book ahead of time, boarding process was seamless and didn't have to wait, main dining had a great menu each night to provide variety

Cons: Only con was having to wait for elevators on the ship due to the amount of people onboard

Recommended: Yes

Wonder of the Seas is an amazing ship with an exceptional staff in all areas of the ship. We had a great time overall with excursions, onboard activities, dining and entertainment. Would recommend this ship to anyone that is looking for an amazing cruise!

Christmas 2025

December

Pros: Ship was everything we expected and even more. The shows were all very good

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

All staff were extremely accommodating, windjammer for breakfast and lunch large selections. Main dining room Maiter’d greeted us as we entered main dining room and came to our table every night to make sure everything was satisfactory. Our waiter was exceptional and we felt like he was part of our family.

Huge boat

December

Pros: Beautiful ship, clean, great staff.. lots of options onboard

Cons: Show venues small , royal theatre should have been utilized better. Overpriced drinks and specialty dining

Recommended: Yes

Beautiful layout, especially the boardwalk.. My choice for inside balcony too noisy and I miss the ocean view.. my mistake . making reservations for Shows on app, If you were late, and try to remake a new reservation. It would not allow you to do that. Efficient boarding and departure. Coco cay was too crowded. And not enjoyable For adults Extra cost for additional food at dinner drinks were watered down. Overall a pleasant experience. Personally, I prefer smaller ships and smaller crowds.

Wonder of the Seas 11/3/24 - 11/10/24

November

Pros: Great ship, Amazing staff, Great food/Drink, Amazing onboard amenities

Cons: Underage kids in bar areas. Parents not watching their kids.

Recommended: Yes

This cruise was amazing. The staff, amenities, food/drinks, Shows/Entertainment, and the ship were all perfect. The only thing I would say was an issue was parents bringing their children into the adults only areas: solarium, bars. Also letting their children run around the ship unsupervised. I know those issues aren't Royal Caribbeans fault, they are the deadbeat parents fault.

Customer appretiation

November

Pros: Was completely satisfied with the entire cruise. Everything went soo smooth

Cons: ? non

Recommended: Yes

The dining lunch provided by our agents was just unbelievable. Just excellent service from beginning to end. Ready to go again.

Halloween cruise

October

Pros: Excellent service, adults only quiet solarium, good entertainment

Cons: Most breakfast venues close too early after haing late night entertainment events

Recommended: Yes

The service in all the restaurants and bars was top notch. Our cabin attendant on the 11th floor Sonny was wonderful! We had a junior suite that was spacious and I loved having the walk-in closet. The Halloween decorations appeared on the promenade on the 30th, and we had so much fun seeing all the fantastic costumes even before the costume contest. Schooner bar and the solarium bar are both staffed with attentive bartenders and a good (more mellow) place to hang out. NOTE TO ROYAL_ 1) Why eliminate the solarium/adults only areas on the new ships? Lots of cruise passengers want to chill out in a more tranquil area without kids. We cruise a lot with you, but we will be sticking to the older/cheaper ships to use the solarium.

Wonderful cruise for our parents' wedding anniversary

September

Pros: Great ship, still very new, huge variety of restaurants and entertainment

Cons: Short port time on last stop due to long travel back to Port Canaveral

Recommended: Yes

We had a large group for a family reunion and to celebrate our parents' 50th wedding anniversary. The staff were all wonderful and took great care of us, helping to make the celebration of the anniversary and our overall reunion be as great as it could be. The MDR staff in particular were fantastic and went out of their way to help with the celebrations, but all the restaurant staff (specialty and others) as well as our stateroom attendants and other staff were very friendly and good overall. The actual ship was fantastic, with so many entertainment and dining options and venues. In particular, the casino was very well run and the hosts like Sergio were friendly and helpful. Also, the Music Hall was a very nice venue to have that other Oasis class ships don't always have, and the Centerpiece Band that often played there were very good and also friendly.

Wonder of the Seas

September

Pros: Food

Cons: Toilet plumbing issues in room

Recommended: Yes

We had 2 rooms and my room constantly had issues with the toilet flushing and overflowing, every morning when I woke up the water was to the top and at one point flowing out of our toilet. This happened multiple times a day, every single day of the cruise. I had to call maintenance to our room each day. I went to guest services to discuss this with them and they informed me the maintenance manager would come by, he never did. I would think for the amount of money we spent, we would have been offered to switch rooms at the very least. Other than that, my family enjoyed the cruise and the rest of the staff.

Great Family Vacation

August

Pros: Good food, good service, Coastal Kitchen great for suite guests.

Cons: Elevators hard to get into with so many people along with many not going to 17th floor

Recommended: Yes

Great for the young at heart as there is lots of walking back and forth to Aft and Forward!

Cons: Not enough elevators, on board ship activities are limited and not the large space to hold activities

Central Park is beautiful. We noticed that there wasn’t much to do after 10pm .. ship is very family oriented. The embarkation and departure were flawless and very fast. The staff was amazing and very attentive.

Excellent Service

February

Pros: Everything

This was an amazing cruise, the staff was beyond exceptional. Shows were awesome.

Wonder of the Seas valentines cruise

February

Pros:

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

Ship was beautiful. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. Ship was very clean and despite the number of people on the ship the way it is designed you never feel like anything is over crowded. Never had any issues with finding chairs at the pool, and always was able to find available hot tub space. The solarium adults only area was also a huge plus. Royal Caribbean does an excellent job with how they manage things on the ship.

Top Notch Cruise

February

Pros: beautiful well maintained ship, very hospitable staff, numerous options for dining, shopping, and entertainment.

Cons: very busy elevators at dining times

Recommended: Yes

We had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed our cruise immensely. Everything from initial boarding to stopping in various ports, to final disembarking flowed smoothly without hiccup. We never ran out of things to see or do aboard Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas. The ship staff we encountered were not only helpful, but also cheerful. Service was excellent. We look forward to our next adventure with Royal Caribbean.

Large & Loud

February

Pros: Good food, clean, friendly staff, comfortable room

Cons: Very loud & very crowded

Recommended: No

Beautiful ship but it's very crowded. The dining room was so noisy we couldn't hear the person talking across the table. Very busy & always waiting. Crowded into elevators, lines in dining room & the ports are back to back people. We did manage to figure out the best times to get a coffee, go to the Windjammer & get to the ports early. And it's loud. Everywhere you go there is loud music playing & we couldn't find a quiet place to eat or have a coffee where you could talk. We always liked the dining room to catch up with friends in the evening after excursions, but not here. It's so loud you can hardly hear each other. I know lots of people don't care about the crowds & like the music but it was just not for us. We had a great trip & made the best of everything, but we will not be going again.

Not the best fit for seniors

January

Pros: Outstanding ship for families and grandchildren. Good shows.

Cons: Not impressed with The Attic. The warning was not adequate for the multiple uses of “F” bombs.

Recommended: Yes

Wonderful experience for families with children and grandchildren. Staff was outstanding from top to bottom. The adult content rating for The Attic was understated. The one “comics” use of multiple “F” bombs every sentence is uncalled for at any level. Adult comedy is fine but not the way it was delivered.

My first cruise experience

January

Pros: Loved the attention given by staff

Cons: Too many kids running around

Recommended: Yes

Loved it

Best Boat Ever

November

Pros: The size of the boat, the entertainment, the Staff

Cons: Not much….

Recommended: Yes

The boat was huge and amazing and wonderful! I stayed in a balcony suite facing Central Park, and the room was spacious and had plenty of storage for my wife and I. The bathroom in our stateroom was perfect size, too. The amenities were great and there was plenty to do! All of the bathrooms were so clean and they were clean ALL THE TIME. The ship was in excellent condition and nothing was broken. Ok this cruise now!!

1st time cruising

October

Pros: Service

Cons: Entertainment times

Recommended: Yes

The staff was great. Melvin the head waiter, Severiano (waiter) and Jazibe (asst) waiter couldn’t do enough. Cabin staff Cadiz was on top of things. It’s a good feeling when the staff calls you by name. Food was good. Need more entertainment for kids under 17 years of age. Need more shows in the afternoon. The staff was also pleasant. The internet was giving us a problem, not worth the money. Need more entertainment.

Recommended: Yes

The cabin steward only comes once a day now. We were on this same ship in January and that was not the case then.

First class

Wonderful Wonder of the Seas

December

Pros:

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

Wonder of the Seas lived up to her name! It was a Wonderful Cruise in every way.

Bigger Not Always Better

December

Pros: Brand New spit and polish

Cons: Just Too Crowded

Recommended: No

Something’s don’t scale up proportionally. Elevators, rooms per steward, tables per wait staff, trams at ports among other things. So there were chronic people jams at trams and elevators and on the promenade. Also you can scale up staffing but not necessarily the training needed to do the job needed. Our room steward was clearly new to his job. He couldn’t figure out how to work around our schedule even when we told him in advance. Our assistant waiter had just been promoted. As it turned out he could handle it. If he sticks it out he will be a fine server. We never did eat breakfast in the main dining room. On the one hand. The app said only continental fare but we heard anecdotal stories of full breakfast. The main dining room was another odd thing. The classics weren’t that good but the rotation entrées weren’t always good. They had trouble with chicken breast being too dry. Steaks were overdone on several occasions. Same with lamb shanks. The entrees looked good on the plate but the proof is in the pudding. I’m used to main dining entrees being nearly sublime. Here, workmanlike at best. At least not what i would have expected of the flagship of the fleet. Speaking of the app, really unintuitive. No matter how you search you’re always left with incomplete information. By the time you find something and where it is and when, you discover it is sold out for the entire cruise. I love to cruise. Give me great dining. Some entertainment and a chair with an ocean view I’m generally happy. Not hard to please at all. But this was too much mid town Manhattan and too little Central Park. I’ve been to the ports many times. I was there to bathe in the luster of the ship. Always behind some tall guy with a hat though. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not being negative. I enjoyed being away and the warm but it could have been so much more.

Lots of Growing pains

November

Pros: Too many to mention

Cons: Lots of growing pains

Recommended: Yes

Overall a great trip with great friends, great travel agents and beautiful Ship

Maiden Florida sailing for wonder of the seas

November

Pros: Nicely laid out, plenty of chairs for pool and more seating in windjammer

Cons: New staff that was not properly trained, no longer has crown royal on the drink package, ran out of certain foods, only 20% of the wine menu was available, ran out of silverware in certain food settings. Traffic getting into the port was horrible and took over an hour of sitting at one red light. Ship sailed two hours late so did not have a sail away party.

Recommended: Yes

See above

Loved the Mediterranean!

May

Pros: Great shows every night, plenty of food options, several pools, excellent service

Cons: would love an extra sea day

Recommended: Yes

Loved the cruise and the ship was simply amazing. First time having an ocean view balcony and will never get anything less in the future. The staff was top notch - friendly, helpful, simply a pleasure to chat with. Did not want it to end!

Wow,wow, wow!!!

April

Pros: Entertainment, specialty restaurants, Central Park, staff

Cons: No really any

Recommended: Yes

This ship was almost perfect. When we had a small problem it was repaired immediately. Love the specialty restaurants surrounding Central Park. The Aqua show (water show) is always great. The ice skating show was full of former Olympians. The main shows were really good & there was another show place. Live country music in their Mason Jar restaurant was fun. Wonderland restaurant with Alice in Wonderland theme characters milling around was unique. Those large ships never feel crowded. The large amount of days at sea were never boring. Lots of live music & activities.

Wonderful Wonder

April

Pros: So much to see and do!

Cons: Are there any?

Recommended: Yes

We (3 adults: 28, 61, 65) had such a blast on Wonder! After the embarkation day crowds get settled there's so much to see and do that it all just flows...wonderfully! The customer service is so outstanding that you just feel at home and pampered immediately. If you're going, be sure to try the new Mason Jar restaurant - amazing twists on southern food. The band in the Mason Jar bar was outstanding too. For us, as an all adult group, we just loved the HUGE Solarium - ages 16+ only. The entertainment on board all around was incredible - and a great parade too! We can't wait to get back on Wonder in the Mediterranean this summer.

Enjoyed the largest cruise ship in the world

Pros: Entertainment
