Trip Bacon — The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed tour and review of a virtual balcony stateroom on the Wonder of the Seas. They begin by examining the interior design, noting that the color scheme is bright and inviting rather than dark or damp. The review covers the bathroom, highlighting the large shower with a door and adjustable shower head, though they mention minor drainage issues due to supply chain constraints. They also discuss the room's storage capabilities, including the closet, drawers, and space under the bed, as well as the comfort of the bed and the variety of available power outlets. The creators specifically address the virtual balcony feature, which provides a live video feed of the ship's exterior. They conclude that while the room itself is excellent due to its size and amenities, the virtual balcony feature is not worth the extra cost. They cite the grainy quality of the night feed and the distraction of seeing window washing or bugs on the lens as primary reasons for their recommendation. Ultimately, they suggest booking this room type only if it offers significantly more square footage for a small fee.
