Creator's Key Takeaways

We were on the inaugural sailing of Wonder of the Seas. And so we're really excited to get to fully experience this ship because the first time we were on it, a lot of the shows were not ready yet.

After selling on the Icon class ships and then selling on this one. The biggest difference is the Icon class ships don't feel busy.

Miami has one of the best saila away sceneries of any port that we've ever sailed out of.

The prime rib was overcooked, so it was pretty dry.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Download the Royal Caribbean app prior to cruising to check in, book shows, and make reservations.
Check in 45 days prior to sailing to get the earliest possible boarding time.
Purchase excursions and drink packages before boarding as they are almost always cheaper.
Go to your muster station immediately after boarding to complete the safety drill.
Take advantage of open houses on embarkation day to tour the gym, spa, and kids clubs.
Make reservations for dinner (even with 'My Time Dining') to avoid long lines.
