What to expect onboard Wonder of the Seas

I had the opportunity to have spent the past 2 nights onboard the world's largest cruise ship Wonder of the Seas and the fifth ship in Royal Caribbean’s Oasis Class. And let me tell you, Wonder of the Seas offers something for every type of traveller to enjoy!

In this blog post, I'll give you all the details and advice you need to make the most of your next cruise holiday.!!

Before you board the ship it is advised to do the check-in using the Royal Caribbean app, so as to avoid big queues,

You are going to be using this app for the duration of your cruise, and for a lot of different reasons:

  • Check-in

  • Health and Safety check

  • Reservations for shows

  • Reservations for dining

  • To look at your onboard credit

  • And much more

It was my first time being on a cruise ship, and let me tell you it was amazing, everything was so beautiful, big and colourful! Even though the ship is massive and it could feel like it would be very crowded, it's not at all the case. This class of ships were built/designed to contain what they have called neighbourhoods, these are meant to make you feel like it is less overwhelming and very spacious.


Get to know the neighbourhoods onboard Wonder of the Seas:


  • The Boardwalk, meant to evoke nostalgia for oceanfront boardwalks of the past. The Boardwalk is complete with an arcade, candy store, hot dogs, sports bar, and Johnny Rockets.

  • Pool & Sports Zone, where guests can enjoy the ship’s pools, hot tubs, and signature activities on the Sports Court

  • Central Park, guests can walk and relax along thousands of plants and flowers. Central Park is home to several restaurants, retail stores, bars, and artwork.

  • The Royal Promenade, the main thoroughfare on Wonder of the Seas where guests can enjoy bars and lounges, shop, and grab a coffee

  • Entertainment Place

  • Youth Zone

  • Vitality Spa & Fitness


Wonder of the Seas dining

Wonder what it’s like to dine onboard the biggest ship in the world? Wonder no more — this ship is packed with an abundance of options to please every possible craving!


Both complimentary and specialty dining options are available and come in a wide range of cuisines and styles, with so many restaurants included in your cruise fare, it’s entirely possible to eat only at the complimentary venues on Wonder of the Seas.


If you would live to try the specialty restaurant meals, you can purchased them individually or as part of a dining package. Purchasing a dining package allows you to try several different restaurants at a lower cost than purchasing each meal individually.

The Royal Theater is home to two headliner performances: Voices and The Effectors II.


Voices: An Intimate Performance on a Grand Scale, is a hybrid virtual and live show featuring vocal, musical, and dance performances.


The Effectors II: Crash ‘n’ Burn

While I was on board the ship I had the opportunity to see an exclusive look into The Effectors II. We got to listen to the brilliant new villain of the show perform a song while being surrounded by a cast of 40 something drones that were expertly operated.


In Studio B, the ice rink onboard, guests can travel through the year’s seasons with 365: The Seasons on Ice. The ice show features a talented cast of professional figure skaters.
