The ship is a literal floating city complete with neighborhoods, IE Boarwalk Central Park, Promenade. There is a ton of good enterainment at all times. The only reason is that the food was not nearly as good as on Celebrity APEX.

You have to go to the specialty restaurants if you want a good meal. The food in the MDR is passable and thats it. Nice people serving you there. We had Lobster at Hooked on Seafood atop the Solarium and it was decent but there was so much of it I should not really have eaten it all. But once in my life I wanted to stuff myself with Lobster, so be it. I found Masion Jar disappointing especially to pay extra for. The fried oreos sunk me. LOL. The Buffet, Windjammer, was a poor imitation of the buffet on the APEX. Oceanview Cafe. The Oceanview was spacious with plenty of light and you could go out the very back of the buffet and sit outside and enjoy being out of doors. Not so on the Wonder and the food was far worse. Case in point . The Croissants on the APEX were hot, chewy and buttery and big. The ones on the Wonder were pathetic. The only thing that made them edible was when they were heated up. The lunch was industrial and kept you going till dinner. The dinner in the MDR of the Wonder had no ambiance and the food and presentation inferior to APEX.

But there are big advantages to the Wonder. A dedicated running/walking track on five that no one knows about and its 2.4 laps to the mile. A sense of openness and spaciousness unequaled on any vessell. For example, the Aquatheater on six and the area around it. Central Park and the Specialty restaurants there set in a park with trees.

Cabin Review

We were in an outside balcony on the top floor, 14, and at the rear and it was just fine.Bit it advised you have to be in shape on this ship. It was almost one thousand steps from the rear our floor to the Solarium way up front.
