Wonder of the Seas Review

The ship was incredible, but enough "huh?" moments to not give it a 5

Family of 7 adults/4 balcony cabins sailed together. The Wonder is sparkling new and beautiful. The basic oceanview balcony is very nice, a good size with lots of storage and comfortable bed. As other reviews have stated, the magnetic latch on the bathroom door is a pain, but that was pretty much our only complaint about the room. Our room steward, MInguel, was terrific, most mornings he turned our room while we were having breakfast - very efficient.

The ship is huge, the pool areas are awesome (port side only for the adult pools - starboard side was heavy smoking). There was usually something going on, however, RCCL would frequently schedule trivia contests or other games in tiny venues, like the Cask & Clipper, so if you didn't get there way in advance, you were standing shoulder-to-shoulder with everyone else who couldn't get a seat. Several times we would pass by to check it out then just move on to find something else to do. Also, a couple of the contests we did attend were led by cruise entertainment staff, delightful people for sure, whose first language was not English. And while I have the utmost respect for multi-lingual speakers, trying to figure out what they are saying, having them repeat (and in one case a guest got up and read the question) over and over, was a buzzkill.

The Aqua show was AMAZING! So much excitement and energy - it was definitely the entertainment highlight of the cruise, followed very closely by the Ice show - our hands hurt from clapping so much in these 2 shows. The Tap Factory I had split feelings about - liked the tap, disliked the contortionist (but my husband thought he was cool, so to each his own). The Effectors, Crash & Burn, had terrific special effects - a lot of fun.
