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…..

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.

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.

@@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. :(

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.

Nonetheless it is expensive but I can def meet the 70 a day or close to.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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_ 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!

It looked like a great time. The cruise directors are a hit or miss and very much ship dependent. Also the daily cruise compass provides details on which restaurants have free breakfast and maybe other things that may have been missed.

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…

Jay, I have cruised mostly with Royal Caribbean cruises and I welcome your opinions on the line. I have cruised other cruise lines, maybe I should cruise a bit more with other cruise lines to broaden my view.

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.

Very refreshing comments. The funniest part was you’re explanation in the beginning in not offending those who do not believe in free thought. I like to hear what one believes than a bunch of BS. Great Job and best of luck.

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.)
