ITS OFFICIAL: WORLDS NEWEST WONDER JOINS ROYAL CARIBBEAN INTERNATIONAL

wonder cruise ship

As you’d expect, the restaurant is themed to The Little Mermaid, though elegantly so. The Disney Wonder is a sister ship to the Disney Magic; the two ships are generally the same in terms of construction (though similar areas on each ship are themed differently from one another). As the original ships in the fleet, they also happen to be the smallest.

The iconic AquaTheater on Wonder of the Seas showcases high divers, slackliners, aerialists, acrobats and more in full-scale productions that combine performances across the air, water and stage.

ROOM SERVICE

This is a larger-than-life, island-hopping adventure with epic thrills for all ages. And everyone savors delicious dining options from homespun Southern classics with a twist to rustic Italian favorites. Get ready to launch from the Space Coast to our private island, Perfect Day at Coco Cay and discover the eastern and western shores of the Caribbean. The adults-only Rainforest Room features heated stone chairs, various shower experiences and steam rooms.

All guests 16 and over who are U.S. citizens on the sailing from Vancouver to Alaska will need a U.S. passport, but children ages 15 and under can do that sailing with a state-issued birth certificate. Americans flying to Canada from the U.S. (or vice versa) will need a passport to enter the country by air, regardless of age. You can book spa treatments before the sailing and once on board. Look for discounts on booking treatments on port days, and if you book multiple treatments, you can often also qualify for a discount. In your Disney Cruise Line app, you'll find the time for all these shows and activities, such as trivia, bingo and karaoke.

That is, if kids can tear themselves away from the rest of the ship. Disney Wonder offers so many activities for kids (and, frankly, grown-ups of all ages) that trying to see and do it all in just a single week is a nearly-impossible challenge. Aboard Disney Wonder, guests will find three separate dining rooms that passengers rotate through. These include Triton's -- the line's Little Mermaid-inspired restaurant on Deck 3 midship that focuses on French cuisine and is the most formal of the three dining rooms.

Royal Caribbean has several different neighborhoods on their vessels, which are themed areas that offer unique experiences. This exclusive neighborhood features a private whirlpool, plunge pool, sun deck, bar, and the Coastal Kitchen restaurant and is available only to passengers who've booked a suite. The Suite Class Neighborhood also includes the Ultimate Family Suite, built to fit a family of 10.

However, for round-trip cruises from Auckland or Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia, guests 18 years and older may purchase and consume alcohol. For repositioning cruises between Hawaii and Australia, parents or guardians may sign a "Beverage Consent Form" that allows their 18- to 20-year-old children to consume alcoholic beverages while in the adult's presence. The drinking age on Disney Wonder depends on where the ship is sailing at the time. Disney Cruise Line recommends $14.50 in gratuities per guest per night; this is the amount auto-applied to your onboard bill unless you request to increase or decrease it. The gratuities are split among your dining room server, assistant server, head server and cabin host.

It isn’t in an entirely enclosed area, but it has its own designated section, making it perfect for families to watch their little ones. Those who catch COVID during the cruise will be required to stay in their rooms, and food and drink will be delivered to their door at mealtimes. Royal Caribbean takes it a step further by covering all costs related to onboard medical care and travel home. If you test positive before the trip and cancel before 48 hours, they’ll give you a “Future Cruise Credit” that matches 100 percent of whatever you paid. That, at least, should quell some COVID concerns for those hesitant to book a cruise again. The 6,988-passenger ship features the line's bold, Oasis-class hallmarks with some new additions, including the chic Wonder of the Seas Suite Neighborhood and a new-look pool deck.

Disney Wonder Itineraries and Home Ports

There were so many stations to choose from, and there were doubles of each station on either side of the restaurant. Overlooking the water, it’s a colorful new edition to the ship and a great spot to settle in when the weather is nice. Just be careful—if the wind picks up, you might just get blown away.

Dial up delicious in-room dining day or night to enjoy paired with comfort and privacy. Max out the hits at Spotlight℠ Karaoke, where all eyes, and ears, are on you. Whether you've mastered the art of show tunes or shower tunes, belt it out on the main stage with a dedicated MC or host your own show in one of two private rooms onboard. Thrill-seeking passengers can enjoy the surf pool which generates waves 12 ft high, a 25m-long, (82 ft) ten-deck-high zip line and two rock climbing walls. It’s 362 meters long (1,188 ft), it can carry 6,988 passengers along with 2,300 crew and can hold enough beer to fill all the swimming pools on board twice over. Wonder of the Seas weighs in at a staggering 236,857 tons and is fitted out with 19 swimming pools, 20 restaurants, 11 bars, an ice rink, casino and even its own Central Park.

For those returning to Royal Caribbean, Wonder of the Seas still includes some of the brand's signature specialties. The rock climbing walls and zip lines are both waiting for you on the boat, as well as FlowRider, the surf simulator, and The Ultimate Abyss, the tallest slide at sea. Luckily, the team also expected that something like this would happen, and there was plenty of staff on hand to help people as soon as possible.

Once it was called, my bag was ready at the port, and I was free to leave the ship. In my opinion, Royal Caribbean’s COVID policies are more than fair and straightforward. All guests over the age of 12 must be vaccinated to board the ship, and although the cruise line isn’t mandating booster shots at this point, they are strongly recommending them. A negative COVID-19 test is also required to board, to be taken 48 hours before embarking, and a health questionnaire must be completed within 24 hours of departure. All crew is vaccinated and must take regular COVID tests while working. Masks are entirely optional for vaccinated guests; I wore mine, but most guests did not.

It does the job, too, drawing passengers looking for a quiet spot to enjoy evening drinks. While the free venues alone offer plenty of choice, including the main dining room, Boardwalk Dog House and The Windjammer, it's worth budgeting for some of the specialty venues. Wonder of the Seas' Boardwalk mimics a seaside boardwalk with a whimsical carousel, Johnny Rocket's for shakes and the scene-stealing Aquatheater.

There's a sink and shower in one small bathroom, and a sink and toilet in another. This arrangement allows more guests to get ready at the same time. Two theaters, the Walt Disney Theatre and Buena Vista Theatre, show first-run Disney movies and three Broadway-style productions on each sailing. Based on these experiences and my general obsession with Disney Cruise Line, here's what you need to know about Disney Wonder.

You’ll discover all that and more when you sail in Royal Suite Class. Take on rainforest roaming in Roatán and cenote scoping in Cozumel on a Western Caribbean itinerary. Or claim your slice of paradise on the beaches of St Thomas and take a true culture trip to the two sides of St Maarten – Dutch and French – on Eastern Caribbean sailings.
