We too were on the Wonder Inaugural sailing and agree 100% with your review. It honestly felt as if they knew the ship wasn’t ready and rushed the sailing. I’ve been on several inaugural sailing with Royal and others and this was by far the worst…..

[@kathryngoodson4464]

This is the first comparison I’ve seen to other inaugural sailings. Thank you for your perspective

[@Dr.Octogon]

When was the inaugural sailing?

[@m.mickeypayne9811]

Don't pull the Disney card, a lot of things go wrong at Disney all the time, but most cast member in most departments can just " wing it and make the situation turn from a negative to a positive ". Everything for the guest, and cast members to give it their ' all' even if that means being injured or dying in a performance at Disney! It has happened, but most are sworn to silence.

[@hassanzorba6384]

I think its always better to wait a few months after a new cruise ships comes about

[@Angiehere-1]

Exactly.

[@kiwisun529]

I agree. I'm tired of so called vloggers afraid to say anything negative.

[@solusdeath]

​@kimberly ly that's because they get a bunch of free things on the ship and they don't want to ruin it.

You are spot on with everything said! Another note on the specialty dining restaurants…They are actually doubling up on profits on that too as you’re paying for dinner every night (included in the cruise price) but then taking more money to eat at a different place while you’re still essentially paying to eat at the main dining hall. I think perfect day is the absolute best business move they could have done…Although haven’t been yet, it looks like it would be an amazing day. They take you to their private island, avoiding port fees for every passenger (“PortMiami charges a head tax of $12.74 per guest. With a mega-ship like Symphony of the Seas with 6,680-guest maximum, it can add up quickly. With a full ship, Royal Caribbean will have to pay PortMiami $85,103 per cruise.”) and enticing you to pay even more to have cabanas, water parks, specialty foods, etc they are straight killing it from a business standpoint. I think they are greedy when it comes to some aspects but overall, I’ve always enjoyed everything that’s included and never felt like I was missing out on something from not paying extra. As bad as I hate trying to be upsold around every corner, I still think cruising is still one of the best and cost effective ways to travel and go on vacation. That’s my $.02 anyway.

[@alycat5719]

Agreed with everything you said. I had a massage at the spa and the masseuse ambushed me at the end of the massage with a product sales pitch and handed me a bill asking for more gratuity WHILE STILL ON THE MASSAGE BED. I was so uncomfortable and it completely erased any relaxation. Horrible.

[@joeo7693]

Yep, the Spa is all about up sales. “Free” samplings or experiences, followed by high pressure sales pitch. Very annoying.

[@alycat5719]

@@joeo7693 it was sad. I’m someone who loves the spa. It was a beautiful place, but there were also incredibly loud noises bleeding through into the rooms. We’re paying enough already for the service, we should be able to go in without the fear of being pressured.

[@cheryllink7808]

Just say no. As with all cruise ship the spa is rented space. I hope you told someone while on the ship. Maybe the spa manager. I used the spa, two massages and the thermal suite. Do you remember the name of your masseuse? Just curious. I had Baby and Sanal.

[@alycat5719]

@@cheryllink7808 It was a couples massage and I very kindly let them know that I was not interested and that we had dinner to get to. That was after a super long spiel that I couldn’t interrupt, just felt super awkward. Also, have you ever heard of being handed the bill while still on the bed? Not sure why I even was handed a bill. They asked me to add more gratuity on top of what was included, stood over me watching what I was writing, and I ended up writing more in a panic just wanting to get out. I was so sad after. I called the front and the manager was so kind and disturbed by my experience. They gave me a free day of using the spa amenities and removed the EXTRA gratuity that I miscalculated way over what was necessary. I didn’t go back to use the amenities. I really wanted it to be a good experience. I don’t remember their names at this point. :(

[@cheryllink7808]

@@alycat5719 I am very glad you did talk to the manger of the spa. That is a terrible experience to have. Breaks my heart and it shocking. They Are usually super friendly

Drink packages on all cruise lines are crazy. I would love to see a limited drink package offered. I can't drink $50 of drinks per day, much less $70 /day.

[@rusamaryh1398]

A limited drink package would be great. Not everyone's other half or friends drink and I don't like being forced to have to buy 2 drink packages.

I have not a problem with getting value of my drink package, I easy drink for $150 or more a day! No problem

[@ryanm4013]

@@patrickpedersen3388 You need to attend meetings!

[@remirez2k3]

i think one thing most people forget when they think of the drink package prices is that its alcahol only...too many forget that specialty coffees, sodas, bottled water, fresh juice and milkshakes are all included as well...so with that in mind its not hard to justify the price tag when you figure 3-4 "drinks" a day is 35-45 dollars by themselves and them coffees sodas water bottle for excursions and the like ...it values out in the end.

[@JBlaze03]

At least Carnival has a set rate. Royal on the other hand, prices change weekly.

Thanks for the great feedback J. We plan on going on this ship next year. Hopefully they’ll work out those little kinks. But overall great information as always.

[@sherryl449]

J your reviews are always appreciated! You worked incredibly hard on this cruise to give us a real taste of Wonder of the Seas. I have cruised once with RCI, but it was for my honeymoon in 1984 so seeing all the new ships is incredible. I am a little partial to Princess, but love Celebrity as well. Still, I would love to sail on WOTS just to check out the ship! Thanks for all your hard work. You're fast approaching 100k viewers!

[@susiehutchinson7312]

We love a Celebrity cruise 💚 May have to try Princess now!

[@joeo7693]

I drink a gallon or more of bottled/sparkling water a day. So when I calculate the bang for the buck, a drink package is worth it.

[@itsasia_]

Yes...idk if ppl realize that's for ALL drinks, soda, juice, bottled water, shakes, smoothies. The juice in the machines on all cruise ships are ATROCIOUS. I could never survive a week long trip drinking that trash. Also if you are traveling to private islands....the drink package applies. You can't beat that! Nonetheless it is expensive but I can def meet the 70 a day or close to.

[@laurieb1127]

I've been on RC, Celebrity, Princess and NCL. I can't believe that YOU didn't check out WOS before getting on the ship using KZbin. When people ask about a ship on fb, I tell them to go to KZbin BEFORE getting on the ship. Do your homework. I would never go on the Bahamas cruise line. I'm going on celebrity apex in a few weeks and I've watched numerous videos on KZbin. RC used to offer a drink package on the 4th or 5th day of the cruise. I think it was 10 drinks for a certain amount.

[@vickyburton2434]

I love your point of view because you have worked on ships so you see things we may not. I have only been on RC and Carnival. I did like the RC ships better. What surprised me is I had a better time on The Liberty if the Seas than the Anthem of the Seas. I found the crew much more friendly and service impeccable. Thank you for your honest opinion!❤️❤️❤️

[@nicoler4583]

100% agree about the water park on the private island! I have a family of 5 and every time we travel with Royal my kids are sad we don't go to the water park. It is just way too expensive (for us at least!)

[@carolbarker1329]

Yes. It is way to expensive. Then the cabanas are outrageous in price but you can hardly find a chair in the shade. The food was good but even better if you spent much more money at the Coco Cay Beach club!!! Up charges every where you went. Sad. The drink package is to expensive for us Seniors who can’t possibly drink enough to justify the cost. They need a package of maybe 10-15 drinks per 7 day cruise. We just got back from Wonder of the Seas in January and they seemed to have worked out many of the problems. Their comedians were not funny and the cruise director was a better magician than the real magician!!!

[@sweetcaroline1125]

Thanks for information...I cruise Wonder on 10/30/22 - 11/20/22. I agree with everything you said. I usually only do the things that are included with cost of the cruise 🛳.

[@debesevening3335]

Jost got off the Wonder on Sunday and gotta tell you it was AMAZING! Our NEW FAV ship and the food was AMAZING! Maybe they were not ready for the inaugural cruise, but food, service and everything else was absolutely perfect our sailing.

[@rreichar1]

Hi Justin! Great job on this cruise. We’re cruising on Wonder in 2 weeks so I have been very interested in your recent content. We have cruised 4 times since the return. Three were on RC and one on NCL. The entertainment seemed down on most of them. The ice show on Adventure was solid and we saw a decent comedian on NCL Bliss. We always buy drink packages. We fully realize that we’re not necessarily getting our money’s worth with that. It’s worth it to us to be able to try lots of different drinks without worrying about the cost if it sucks. It makes the decision process easier without having to mentally factor in the cost. We’ve been on a couple of Oasis class ships without ever seeing the Aqua Show. Hopefully it will work out this time around.

[@corinaparson9870]

Luv your honest opinions you haven’t fail me .

[@johnclark1469]

Congrats on 100k subs Jay! Your constant efforts paying off to bring us your unique perspective. Noticed Don and Tony had the same disappointments on this cruise so your opinions are confirmed by them as well. Royal dropped the ball - sorry you guys spent so much $ for less than the full experience. Very good observations on way overpriced options that Royal should reduce. Am going on Harmony next month so will be an interesting comparison on that seasoned similar ship ship.

I have not been on Wonder but the fact that they do not give you all the info and make you search for it, it's is very frustrating. I happened to go with Royals seasoned cruisers on my first cruise(Thank God) otherwise I def would not have gotten to do all the things I got to do cause I had no idea what was included. Who wants to go do all that homework to find the info they should be giving you? It would take too much time away from your vacation. Not to mention, how are you supposed to find something you do not know exists.

We were on the sailing with you as well and stayed for the next week. We totally agree with everything you said for both weeks. They did have the parade the 2nd week but not till day 5 or 6. We didn't go to the show tap factory as we had just saw it on Odyssey of the seas and didn't care for it. Thanks for making an honest review of your experience on the ship.

[@pnw_and_palapas]

Good overview. I admit I'm loyal to Royal but you made good points about the poor contingency planning on entertainment etc. I will say it is alot easier to not feel nickel and dimed all the time if you do your research to know what's included and not. Eases the stress and frustrations. Planning ahead and booking things ahead of time saves moula.

Thanks for the video. I like your down to earth, honest perspective on things. I could tell by your vlogs that the entertainment was disappointing and you & Lauren ended up eating pizza almost every night. That may be the result of not knowing where all the free food was. And, I totally agree with you about the price of the water park on the private island! That should have been much less $$, $20-25 at most.

This was an inaugural sailing and the kinks needed to be sorted out-- It’s a big ship and probably needed a few extra weeks before it’s first sailing I’m on it for the transatlantic and B2B for France and Italy. I’ve never had a problem with RC --BUT IM A LOYAL CRUISER and Diamond Plus so I get whatever drinks I need free. I only cruise with Royal. I’m 71 yrs old and prefer a little luxury than party ships. I have cruised on all the big ships and love them. Especially Boardwalk and Central Park. I eat my dinner in the MDR and Specialty restaurants and breakfast anywhere else. I enjoy formal nights and I dressed to the nines. For me it’s a grand time to be on a Royal Caribbean cruise❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️loved it👌🏽❤️😊🤩😎

[@itsasia_]

What cruise line would you prefer now?

[@susankara7520]

@itsasia_ each cruise line has a different on board culture and appeal to a target market that will make money for them. We are 4*, platinum and gold on 3 lines, but we have cruised for 30+ years and each line has cut back since pandemic. We loved ncl but since they raised gratuities not so much. Our last cruise on HAL is this week. Geriatric clientele, even though we are mid 70s, is not for us and entertainment is horrible. Royal Caribbean has lots of kids, but great shows however they have cut way back in dining room offerings. We like certain ships in each of those lines. we live 1 hr from tampa and have decided that we will go to Mexico 15 times, never get off the ship, but cruise to get away, gamble, meet different people and not have to cook. I doubt this answers your question but to be honest we don't have a favorite and all have been disappointing since covid. Happy traveling!

1. Free wifi would be great 2. Doesn’t the daily cruise compass list all eating options - yep it does :) 3. So glad not a large party vibe 4. Hate the up-sale for products after a massage - enough that I won’t go again 5. Trash or amazing… you say both - sounds like out of their control. Just sensationalism… you also said, “I get it” but I guess not really But I will be judging for myself on the TA next month. Again, “I understand full well” Maybe “hate” is a little too strong…

Hi Jay It was so nice to meet you on the Wonder. You are spot on with your review. I enjoyed the cruise but agree that Royal has some work to do to get the ship running smoothly. My husband and I ate at The Mason Jar. Most of our food was delicious however, the brisket was tough & I sent it back. I was brought out another serving & it wasn’t much better. The restaurant did comp my meal so I was happy for that. Our server was so apologetic for the food as if he was the one who prepared it. All of the crew we came in contact with were friendly and helpful.

I always do my "due diligence" research on CruiseCritic (or as we sometimes call it, "CruiseCranky" :) ) before sailing on a new ship to find out all the "secrets".....such as the free options for embark-day lunch BESIDES the always-crowded buffet, and any out-of-the-way places to grab a complimentary breakfast...or the "secret" decks at the front of many Carnival ships. On the Mardi Gras, which has a staggering number of "free"/included dining venues, that research really paid off! (And I still couldn't make it to all of the places.)
