Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of their week-long experience aboard the Wonder of the Seas, highlighting both the advantages and drawbacks of the Oasis class ship. They praise the ship's diverse neighborhoods, such as Central Park and the Boardwalk, and note the high level of maintenance and cleanliness. The reviewers specifically recommend ocean view staterooms for their natural light and large windows, noting they preferred this over balcony options. They also discuss the variety of dining, including both complimentary and upcharge options, and the convenience of the entertainment district. However, they express disappointment with some of the production shows and the aqua show, which they felt lacked connection to the music. Other criticisms include the loud magnetic bathroom doors, the lack of destination elevators, and the potential for congestion due to the ship's high capacity. They also mention that mega ship itineraries can feel repetitive. Finally, they share lessons learned regarding loyalty status benefits, such as using Diamond and Prime perks to save money on drink packages and specialty coffee.
