Wonder of the Seas is truly unique when she's compared to her other Oasis Class sisters.
When I first set sail with Royal Caribbean, I was graced with the chance to cruise aboard the unparalleled Wonder of the Seas. If you think you know Oasis-class ships, prepare to have your expectations shattered. I've got the inside scoop on the top 5 things that set this ship apart, so let's dive right in!
1️⃣ A Whopping 10,000 Tons Bigger! 🛳
You may wonder what 10,000 tons actually mean in the cruising world. In the case of Wonder of the Seas, it means a redesigned Windjammer, changes to the upper superstructure, and additional amenities that her Oasis-class sisters can only dream of. Essentially, you're getting a ship that's not just bigger but better optimized for guest experiences. More space, more fun!
2️⃣ East Meets West: A Tale of Two Markets 🌏
Designed for the China market, Wonder of the Seas was going to be Asia's cruising jewel. But when COVID-19 struck, she pivoted westward. What this means for you is an incredibly diverse ship. The Starbucks on boaard? Originally planned as a traditional Chinese tea shop. And the Mason Jar, a cozy dining spot, was initially designed to be a hot pot restaurant. The blend of cultures gives this ship an ambiance like no other.
3️⃣ The All-Female Aqua Cast: Defying Gravity and Stereotypes 💃
This isn't your regular Aqua Theater; the all-female cast is making waves—literally and figuratively. Not only do these talented women deliver jaw-dropping stunts, but the theater itself is a spectacle. Featuring a 137,000-gallon pool, it’s one of the deepest pools at sea. The Aqua Theater shows are a perfect blend of artistry, athleticism, and technology.
4️⃣ Choices Galore: 2,867 Rooms to Pick From 🛏
During my stay, I had the privilege of living it up in an Officer's Cabin. Beyond that unique experience, there's a room for every kind of cruiser on Wonder of the Seas. From cost-effective inside rooms to expansive suites, you can tailor your experience to your liking. And let's not forget about the virtual balconies for those who opt for an interior room—a unique feature that brings the sea inside!
5️⃣ The Eighth Neighborhood: Where Luxury Lives 🌆
Thought seven neighborhoods were cool? How about an eighth, exclusively for suite guests? This isn't just another neighborhood; it's a VIP experience. Think private pools, unparalleled ocean views, and eveen your own concierge. With personal touches like customized excursions and exclusive events, the Suite Neighborhood is an experience in itself, setting a new standard for cruising luxury.
