Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed review of the Royal Caribbean ship Wonder of the Seas, categorizing his experiences into positive highlights and areas for improvement. He describes the vessel as a significant evolution of the Oasis class, noting that it feels like a next-generation version of its predecessors. Among the positive aspects, he praises the Mason Jar restaurant for its diverse Southern cuisine and lively bar atmosphere. He also commends the redesigned pool deck, the revamped Adventure Ocean youth program, the expanded Starbucks options at Cafe Promenade, and the massive Windjammer buffet. Conversely, the creator identifies several drawbacks, including cabin doors that do not close automatically when slammed and magnetically sealed bathroom doors. He expresses disappointment with the Wonder Play, describing it as too juvenile for older children, and notes the absence of a full Broadway show, which he feels makes the ship feel incomplete compared to other Oasis class vessels. Ultimately, he concludes that the ship is an excellent choice for families and remains his favorite ship in the fleet.
