Creator's Key Takeaways

We're not partnering with Royal Caribbean, aren't being paid by Royal Caribbean, and paid full price for this cruise

The Wonder of the Seas is a 1200 ft long city on the sea, has 8 distinct neighborhoods & spans across 18 decks

We would recommend it especially if you're looking for a more relaxed setting when compared to the Wind Jammer

The Flow Rider was definitely a bit more physically exerting than I thought it was going to be

Creator's Tips & Advice

Purchase a specialty coffee card online to save money on coffees
Head to the back of deck 5 for great views without crowds
Use Planin to check for travel discounts before booking
