The Wonder of the Seas is the ideal floating resort, with spacious and elegant accommodations, several dining options, and exciting onboard activities.
Wonder of the Seas Overview
The Wonder of the Seas is Royal Caribbean’s newest cruise ship, with her first voyage on March 4, 2022.
She is currently the world’s largest cruise ship, succeeding her sister ship Symphony of the Seas. Wonder of the Seas is a large vessel, measuring 1,188 feet long, 210 feet broad, and weighing 236,857 tons.
She can accommodate 5,734 guests at double capacity and 6,988 total guests. With 2,300 crew members on board, the total passenger capacity of the Wonder of the Seas is 9,288!
Despite its large capacity, the Wonder of the Seas is unlikely to feel overcrowded. Wonder of the Seas is divided into various districts as a result of Royal Caribbean’s revolutionary Oasis Class ship design.
The neighborhoods are intended to spread out visitors and create a diversified experience throughout the ship, with each area offering a unique set of amenities, activities, and eating options.
The Wonder of the Seas, like previous Oasis Class ships, has the following neighborhoods:
- The Boardwalk was designed to conjure memories of earlier seaside boardwalks. The Boardwalk has an arcade, a candy store, hot dogs, a sports bar, and Johnny Rockets.
- Pool & Sports Zone, where guests can enjoy the ship’s pools, hot tubs, and distinctive sports court activities.
- Central Park is a calm location where passengers can roam and rest among hundreds of plants and flowers. Several restaurants, retail establishments, bars, and artwork may be found in Central Park.
- The Royal Promenade is Wonder of the Seas’ main roadway, where passengers may enjoy bars and lounges, shop, and grab a coffee.
- The core of trademark entertainment on Wonder of the Seas, equipped with a comedy club, ice skating rink, theater, and casino, is called Entertainment Place.
- Youth Zone, where Adventure Ocean programming, an arcade, and a teen club can be found.
- Vitality Spa & Fitness is a tranquil spa and salon that offers a wide range of treatments. Guests can use the fitness center at no extra charge.
Wonder of the Seas, unlike her Oasis Class sisters, has an eighth neighborhood onboard, the Suite Neighborhood.
The Suite Neighborhood is a private enclave open only to Wonder of the Seas suite guests.
Suite guests can enjoy a private community at the top of the ship that includes the Coastal Kitchen restaurant, Suite Lounge, and private Suite Sun Deck.
While other Royal Caribbean ships have a private sun deck for suite guests, the Wonder of the Seas takes this concept to the next level.
The Suite Sun Deck on the Wonder of the Seas is a spacious outdoor area with comfortable loungers, its own bar, and a plunge pool. The sun deck has views of both the ocean and the sports deck area.
Wonder of the Seas Dining
As an Oasis Class ship, Wonder of the Seas has an abundance of dining options. There are complementary and specialized eating options available, as well as a variety of cuisines and styles, so there is something for everyone onboard.
With so many restaurants included in your cruise cost, it’s certainly possible to eat only at Wonder of the Seas’ complimentary venues.
From Mediterranean-inspired meals at Solarium Bistro to American breakfast at Johnny Rockets, the complimentary restaurants are unlikely to tire you.
The Wonder of the Seas also features a variety of specialty dining options. Specialty restaurants cost extra but provide cuisine and eating experiences not available elsewhere onboard.
Individual specialty restaurant meals can be ordered as part of a dining package. Buying a dining package allows you to try out multiple places at a lower cost than purchasing each meal separately.
Because dining package availability is limited, it is best to reserve a dining package early through the Cruise Planner website.
Depending on the voyage, a 3-night dining package and an unlimited dining package may be available.

Wonder of the Seas Bars & Lounges
Wonder of the Seas, like its eating locations, has an abundance of pubs and lounges to explore. Cantina Fresca and The Vue, two new bars, have been added to the Wonder of the Seas.
Cantina Fresca is a Latin-inspired bar that specializes in Mexican-inspired cocktails. This is the place to go for margaritas, which come in flavors including pineapple, jalapeño, strawberry, mango, and passion fruit.
Mexican agua frescas are also available, the first time they have been served on a Royal Caribbean ship.
Cantina Fresca is conveniently located near the Sports Court, close to El Loco Fresh, and serves the right beverages to accompany burritos, nachos, and quesadillas.
The Vue is Wonder of the Seas’ second new bar. The Vue, which replaces what would have been a second cantilevered hot tub, has stunning views of the ocean both day and night.
The bar is partially covered with a mosaic canopy that glows in a rainbow of colors at night.

Shows & Entertainment
The Wonder of the Seas has enough entertainment venues and shows to keep thousands of passengers entertained each week.
All events and entertainment are included in your cruise cost, though reservations for hallmark performances are normally required.
It’s a good idea to open the Royal Caribbean app as soon as you board the ship and reserve your favorite performance timeslots.
The AquaTheater, Royal Theater, and Studio B are the three primary entertainment venues on Wonder of the Seas.
Guests can enjoy inTENse, the first AquaTheater production with an all-female cast, at the AquaTheater.
Demanding is a demanding show that includes aerial acrobatics, slacklining, high diving, tumbling, and synchronized swimming.
Immersive lighting and sound effects complement the performance and are likely to inspire guests.
Live country music at The Mason Jar is a new addition to Wonder of the Seas. A country band plays at the pub most evenings (and occasional afternoons).
Guests can listen to live music while sipping a drink from one of the bar’s comfortable rockers.
Throughout the trip, comedy events are performed in either the Royal Theater or the Attic Comedy Club.
Conclusion
The Wonder of the Seas attracts a wide range of passengers, from seasoned cruisers to first-timers.

Though the majority of passengers will be from North America, there will also be some from the United Kingdom, South America, Europe, and Australia.
