Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators share their initial impressions of Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, categorizing their experiences into good, bad, and ugly. They report several negatives, including a malfunctioning virtual balcony in their stateroom, a casino configuration that has disappointed many guests, and the replacement of the Jazz venue with a VIP golden room. They also note that the pool deck has many stairs which may pose challenges for those with mobility issues, and the View Bar appears too small for the ship's capacity. On the positive side, they praise the spaciousness of the inside staterooms, the modern and lush decor, and the impressive art installations throughout the ship. They highlight the Mason Jar as an excellent venue and express high satisfaction with the food quality, service, and reliable Wi-Fi. The solarium is noted as a standout feature for relaxation. Finally, they address the ugly aspect of their trip, which is the difficulty in securing specialty dining reservations due to overselling. They advise future passengers to book these dining options well in advance to avoid disappointment.
