Creator's Key Takeaways

We found that the interior balcony stateaterooms are actually much closer in price to the interior rooms than an ocean view balcony stateoom.

It was absolutely the best cruise ship show we've ever seen.

The service was truly exceptional and is one of the reasons we would absolutely consider sailing on the Wonder of the Seas again.

We would definitely recommend at least considering one of these interior balcony staterooms because at least for us, the noise and the privacy concerns just haven't been an issue.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider interior balcony staterooms if budget is a concern.
Bring your own shampoo and conditioner for the shower.
Arrive early for the Aqua Show to get a good seat without getting wet.
Use the Royal Caribbean app to plan your cruise itinerary.

We're going to take you on a tour and share our experience staying in one of these unique but bizarre rooms on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, which is currently sailing out of Miami, Florida. We'll talk about why some people don't mind these rooms, why some hate them and whether or not we'd consider booking one ever again. Along the way we'll take you to some of the pools, restaurants & entertainment and also touch on all the things we love and don't love about sailing on the Wonder of the Seas. #explorcation #cruise #royalcaribbean #wonderoftheseas Thanks to Ekster for sponsoring this video.
