And yet you can get $11 milkshakes and $14 adult root beer floats from Mason Jar on Wonder with vouchers. Those other JR milkshakes must be really special. My wife got a couple regular JR shakes that were pretty small last week... but they tasted good and she's not holding up her end of the bargain, lol. Now that we have 10 instead of 8 I really need to step up my drinking game. 🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹

Allure even still had untoasted bagels and a toaster when I was on her in October to make them hot and to your desired level of done-ness. That said, Park Cafe is also a good spot to get lox and bagels (and other toppings if you desire).

Some of us like the happy hour snacks.

Ignore, misread something.

Sounds like you’re doing both. You enjoyed Royal from the start and the perks just add to the enjoyment so of course you stick with them. Thats how I feel about our situation. We wouldn’t have continued with RC if we didn’t enjoy our cruises so much but gaining additional perks will only make us enjoy our cruises that much more. We just turned D+ last week and of course I was looking forward to it. Can’t wait to use some of our new perks this summer!

Depends on why you go there. “Best” is subjective (like most things). It’s best for me in the early AM to get my morning cappuccino & pastries & during the evening happy hour to get some snacks before or after dinner. You may find other times to be the “best” for you.

FWIW, I had to sign for D drinks far more often than I have in the past on Wonder last week. I didn't keep track but I'd say it was 75% or so.

D'oh! I totally forgot to check the Wonder CL in the afternoon last week, lol. Something else to add to the list for next time.

Interesting. I believe you but that didn't work for us last week. We share one internet account and if my wife was logged in and sent me a pic via iMessage I wouldn't receive it until we switched and I was logged in. Neither of us tried to message anyone else unless we were logged in.

We were onboard with you! Had a great time as always and agree with many of your opinions. Sailing through those storms Saturday was quite the experience. Seas were calm but certain areas of the ship (like the Solarium) were experiencing minor flooding, lol. Can't wait to be back on my favorite ship this summer! P.S. I saw Voices on a previous cruise and you didn't miss anything, IMO. It's the ice show we love on Wonder.

Yep, definitely subjective and we all like what we like. We loved Mason Jar brunch (never had dinner and don't plan to) as much last week as we did the first time and can't wait to be back there this summer.

This. You can't book open skating, laser tag, and maybe something else until you board and connect to the ship wifi.

Hey @BillOh, Just got off Wonder this morning. I don't think I have any answers to your recent questions but I posted a ton in a live blog on that other site if you haven't seen it. We had a WONDERful time as expected. Can't wait to be back aboard in 10 weeks!

It was $19.99pp more than once for my Wonder cruise leaving tomorrow.

Not just you and pretty annoying.

This. We passed at $19.99pp b/c we don't value a heated pool, we love the regular included food, and my wife wouldn't even try any of the additional food items at Hideaway b/c she's picky. I'd rather spend $40 at Playmakers or Mason Jar. At $60pp? I'd sooner have dinner at a specialty restaurant than spend it on Hideaway Beach. Everyone values things differently.

It's one long beach... Cove Beach is just slightly farther away from everything. I've never spent time at either though I've walked past them. I guess Cove Beach may be slightly quieter? "Better" is subjective depending on what you want to be closer or farther from.

Exactly the same as us. P.S. Fly Eagles Fly (and PLEASE get a defense). Born and raised in the Philly 'burbs myself as was my wife.

Yikes! That's insanely cheap.

People have reported seeing them in recent weeks on Wonder. I believe it’s $90 now.

Ignore my above question, I found it in the app.

What day will you be on CocoCay?

She looked fine to me in October. Had a great time as always.

Suite perks are far greater on Oasis class. CK is a restaurant I'd describe as better than the MDR but not quite specialty (although night one filet mignon is excellent). With a suite on Allure you would also get free WIFI for each person and free beer, wine, soda, bottled water, etc. in the suite lounge from 11-11 each day. None of those perks are included on smaller classes. Of course, the prices usually reflect the differences. Also, everything I wrote applies to full suites, not junior suites.

Who knows? Trust me, it's there.
