YouTube Video Description

Day three through the end of our Royal Caribbean Wonder of the Seas sailing — and this is where things get really honest. We toured every single deck of the ship, ate at Izumi sushi, watched the most impressive show we've ever seen on a cruise ship, and came away with some very important money-saving lessons we wish we had known before we booked. We cover: ✦ Nassau Day 3 — what the weather was like sailing near a hurricane ✦ Complete deck-by-deck ship tour — every deck, every restaurant, bar, activity & amenity explained ✦ Highlights: FlowRider, Ultimate Abyss, zipline, rock climbing, ice skating rink, carousel, Central Park & the Rising Tide elevator bar ✦ Sorrento's Pizza — our favorite food on the entire ship (and it's included and open till 3AM) ✦ Izumi sushi specialty dining — we had high hopes, they did not deliver ✦ The Aqua Theater show "Intense" — the most impressive show we've ever seen on any cruise ship. Do not miss this. ✦ Final main dining — Caribbean night and why main dining was actually our best meals of the trip ✦ The money-saving tips we wish we knew — book ahead for 25-45% off dining, excursions, drink packages & Hideaway Beach ✦ Royal Caribbean vs Disney Cruise Line price breakdown ✦ Final honest verdict — who Royal Caribbean is perfect for and when Disney Cruise is still worth the premium 🚢 Watch Part 1 first if you haven't already! 🏰 Planning a Royal Caribbean cruise and want to get it right?
