Editorial Summary

The creator shares a mixed review of the inaugural sailing on the Wonder of the Seas. On the positive side, the ship is described as beautiful with a well designed layout that allows for easy movement between decks. The staff members were noted as friendly and attentive, and the stateroom provided ample space and comfort. Dining experiences were generally high quality, including a visit to the new specialty restaurant, Mason Jar, and the main dining room. However, the experience was marred by several entertainment venues and amenities being incomplete. The ice skating show lacked essential props due to supply chain issues, and the signature Broadway production was missing. Additionally, the new high diving show was only partially performed because the cast had not had enough practice time, and the new escape room remained closed. Because the creator paid a premium price for the inaugural sailing, they felt disappointed that the full experience was not available. The creator concludes by recommending that potential passengers wait until later in the year, specifically suggesting June, to ensure all shows and facilities are fully operational.
