Creator's Key Takeaways

Every pool was packed. We checked all four main pools, the salarium, even the hot tubs.

My steak was delicious. Oh, and I had food. I had steak last night. Oh, I know you did. This is way, way better.

It was really funny. I must say I enjoyed that. Yeah, I'm glad we went.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive early to secure a table for two at the buffet on sea days.
Consider purchasing a coffee card for specialty coffees if you don't have a drink package.
Be prepared for crowds at the pools and hot tubs on sea days.

YouTube Video Description

It’s Day 3 of our Wonder of the Seas cruise and we’re spending it at sea — but don’t expect a quiet day! Join Kris and Melanie from Dockside Travel as we take you through a full sea day onboard one of the world’s largest cruise ships. From our accidental visit to the gym to the completely packed pool decks, we’re giving you a front-row seat to the real sea day experience on a mega ship. We test out the Windjammer Buffet for breakfast, scope out every pool and hot tub (spoiler: no chairs!), and try to beat the lunch rush at El Loco Fresh — only to be met with massive lines. Instead, it’s off to Boardwalk Dogs for a quick bite before getting a little work done mid-day. Dinner at Chops Grille is delicious, but loud and lively — and the entertainment doesn’t stop there. We head to the Love and Marriage Show, and of course, our old friend Dr. Romance makes an appearance to end the night in style. Oh — and don’t miss our hilarious ride on the Rising Tide Bar, where Kris forgot there’s no bathroom onboard… it was almost a critical mistake 😂 🎥 NEXT EPISODE: We head to Cozumel for an unforgettable day at Mr. Sanchos Beach Club — until we lose track of time and have to hustle back to the ship!
