Wonder of the Seas Sail Away Day - First Oasis class experience. Full day vlog

Join our VLOG for embarkation day as we set sail on Royal Caribbean's cruise ship Wonder of the Seas! Enjoy our day as we experience all there is to offer on an Oasis Class ship for the very first time. From walking onboard into the Royal Promenade to the Ultimate Abyss slide we take in as much as we can. We grab food at the Solarium Bistro, The Dog House, WindJammer; a bit dressed down at one point when we get a craving, and then ultimately it's dinner the main dining room. We'll show you our state rooms, yes two, on deck 12. One balcony room for us with an ocean view and the kids with a balcony over Central Park. Plus, unknowingly, we catch a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch! The kids check into the teens club Social 100. And, we make it all the way to the midnight which means the balloon drop. Enjoy the fun of our first day on the cruise!

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

Thank You! We totally appreciate that. The videos are fun to do and we do the same thing ahead of our cruises. We watch as much as we can just to get ideas and tips. Thanks for watching. Hope you have a great cruise!

[@elizabethbyrne3602]

Super fun video! You really captured all the feels of embarkation day. Cruising is so awesome. Keep the videos coming.

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

Appreciate it. Thank You for watching! We do have a bunch more still to come from this trip so stay tuned.

[@sandraw8344]

Great video!!!

[@marymellone5548]

Omg your North Carolina friends are adorable.

[@marilynmorganwestner2754]

I can’t believe you met fans from Charlotte!

[@troon4648]

"getting a procedure" in the pool chair 💀🤣

[@amycooke9353]

This was perfect for us! We will be going on our first cruise on wonder of the Seas (our first cruise ever)! Thanks for such an informative blog!

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

That's great. You are going to have a blast with this ship as your first! Thanks for watching!

[@marilynmorganwestner2754]

Omg, I can’t believe the scale of it. Totally agree that that sculpture between the elevators look intestines.

[@tiatowery6409]

Amy is 100% correct. It looks exactly like intestines one person’s heart is another person’s garbage.😂

[@tiatowery6409]

Obviously, you knew what I meant. Art not heart. Lol

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

She loves your comment! Thanks for watching!

[@tiatowery6409]

@@BackyardBeachandBeyond love your channel.I want to take my first cruise soon and it’s helping me a lot to watch you guys explain things.

[@tamikas9425]

Rule thumb only dress code for wind jammer is shorts and shirt and shoes. So if bathing suit is covered it not a big deal.

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

Awesome! Now I don't feel that bad about it 😉 Thanks.

[@seannielsen6587]

You have a love of cruising just like me. I'm really enjoying your video. We were on the Symphony sailing back to back with our adult son and saw the same rocket launch from the Symphony. We also had two bump out cabins on deck 12. Our first week. I should buy gimbal for my camera. You would love to sail back to back so you could film the empty ship. Looking forward to watching more of your channel. I posted a few videos on you tube.

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

Awesome. What a coincidence that you were on Symphony that day. We'll certainly check out your channel 👍

[@Islena617]

Such a cool vlog. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching!

[@bugwar5545]

Thanks for the video. Brings back memories. Oh. The tip about the luggage being delivered to the GENERAL area of your room was good. My last cruise I had an Owner's suite and I found my bag was about four doors down. I thought for the hoity toity suite guests at least would have their bags delivered next to their rooms. Go figure.

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

Appreciate you watching. I guess I'm ok with the bags being in the "general" area... I'm just happy that my bags make the voyage! 😉

[@rurur2434]

great video! haven't been on a oasis class ship yet but wanting to go on Wonder next year. Thanks for the content. very informative. super cool family.

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, we're itching to get back on a ship already. We would do Wonder all over again in the blink of an eye.

[@pm26074]

New subscriber , awesome video as we are going on this ship in December. Thanks😊

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

You will have a blast!

[@crystalanakwe9247]

From Fayetteville, NC. Just found you guys. You’re a natural at KZbin. You guys are going to get a good viewing on KZbin in the future I can tell.

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

Appreciate that. Thanks for watching!

[@davidc5191]

Is it coincidence 36:00 or does it look like your head is under the party hat in the mirror? Also when you talk about Giovanni's at 40:20, I had one of my best meals at Giovanni's on Allure. But Giovanni's on Utopia is different. It's more of a bistro that serves pizza and light food, not a full restaurant like on the other Oasis ships.

[@gregcacali]

🤣 Good catch. Totally unintentional. Amy caught that as well and had a good laugh!

[@lindalowry150]

What type room do you have? Is that a standard balcony room? Great video!

[@FourAboard]

Love the video! Were gonna be on wonder in November. we cant wait. Its going to be our first Oasis class ship as well. BTW, when you said you felt bad about missing out on getting the model ship when you were on Mariner, I felt that in my soul! lol. I literally had the exact same issue. I missed out on the same model on that ship as well. I posted about it on the Mariner Galveston FB page and someone on board offered to get it for me and ship it to my house. I sent them the money on Venmo and the ship showed up at my house a week later. It was so worth it to cure my FOMO lol. I just subscribed to see day 2! Hopefully you can give us a follow back as were a new channel and just starting out with our first Vlogged adventure in Nov! Thank you!

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

That's awesome that you got the Mariner model. Glad to hear it worked out. I'd be so nervous they I'd send the money and then nothing would come. For sure we'll give you a follow. Thank you for watching! (BTW sorry for the late reply - crazy work/life balance right now)

[@kristihenderson31]

was the slide super slow

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

I got stuck. Like stopped completely. Amy said she was really slow. But moved. The kids didn’t seem to have a problem. I’m referencing the blue slide. The orange “bowl” slide wasn’t really too much of an issue.

[@dorothysherratt518]

i use a roller wheelie to assist my walking, are the distances a far walk?

[@BackyardBeachandBeyond]

it all just depends on where you want to go. if you’re going from forward on the ship all the way to the aft it’s a good distance. After all, Wonder is just about 4 football fields long!
