Just confirming... you can check in everyone in your party if the reservations are linked?
Yep.

Following along! I've only been on Allure and Harmony so I'm very curious about all things Wonder 🤩
Since you seem to book suites, you'd likely love the suite neighborhood on Wonder. We were treated to a GS on Wonder last June. Everything is right there if you're in a GS or OS. We had the closest GS to the door to CK/SL... I could get to the SL bar in like 15 steps... it was glorious! And the suite sun deck is right above you and quite nice. No crossing the ship like on Harmony (the only other ship on which I've had a GS).
All that said, I recently went back in an interior and loved the ship just as much... just for different reasons. Can't wait to be back on her in June and July.

If you can grab loungers on either side between the towers and the windows, you will feel the AC.
We had this tip before last month's cruise... and apparently it's no secret b/c they were taken very early. That said, when we did get to check out the vents, there really wasn't much cold air coming out.
No biggie, we'll check it out again in June and if it's still hot we already have our new spot... just outside the Solarium in a shady corner not actually near the pools.

If I was there I'd have done it.. .that's a really good price for sure.
They're few and far between but at least you know there have been SOME deals over the past 6 months. There was a $799 balcony GTY for Wonder in DEC, my 5N Allure in OCT was like $330 for interior GTY (we ended up taking a CP view interior for not much more), and now this one.
Plus it's not like I'm vigilant about searching for deals like I'm sure you will be.

Did you book the wonder deal? What kind of price did you find last minute?
No, my wife wasn't willing to take an entire week off on 10 days notice. Base price before taxes/fees was like $650 or something. Not the deal of the century but low for Wonder.

What are they smoking???
A deal for a mere $1049 per person for a 5 night balcony????
Yeah, I don't understand the point of the current GGG flier tbh. Last Thursday I stumbled upon a good price on an interior GTY on Wonder leaving in 10 days... but that wasn't on the flier. Instead they post the non-deals like you mentioned. Why bother?

Please tell me they have something other than Heineken.
You can see bar menus in the app.

This poster has been compiling recipes for every drink RC has and here's the zero-proof section. They will make anything they have the ingredients for so feel free to ask for other suggesstions but here's a starter list (click on the top part of the link where it says July 9)...

Also any mocktails that are non-heavy i.e drinks no strawberry daiquiris or pina coladas.
Yes, they have a list of non-frozen mocktails but I don't have a handy reference for you. I believe they call them zero-proof cocktails. They have stuff like nojitos and other concoctions. I don't think you will find actual non-alcoholic spirits though.

It’s a gorgeous very chilly morning.
We're originally from Philly and embrace any cool weather we can get down here... have you spotted any shivering locals yet? 🤣
Happy cruise day! Looking forward to seeing Wonder through fresh eyes and can't wait to be back on her in 7 weeks!

Is this true on other ships besides Wonder?
No, Wonder's Solarium is completely enclosed under a dome unlike other ships. That's why it's warm and (supposedly) climate controlled.

How close before they assign rooms?
It can literally be any time up until your sail date.

I know two weeks ago it was stifling the entire week and we just had to spend most of the time in the pool inside.
On the 3/17 cruise it was warm when it was hot out but cooler on the last day when it was storming out... which also created a small flood in there, lol.

I thought you had to make reservations on board to use the Diamond+ BOGO.
That is how it is intended to work but others book in advance and then deal with it onboard one way or another.

Does anyone know if they are still on the wonder
Yes, they are. You can always check the current sailing in the app for info like this.

Tap Factory was replaced by a rotating headliner... juggler, singer, etc. Don't think anyone can tell you if they ever plan to add back another stage show but I doubt it since Wonder will be doing short cruises in the not-too-distant future.
-
Wonder has my favorite ice show (365)... but not a huge fan of the other shows and it doesn't have an actual Broadway show if that's what you're looking for.

I also got a email from my TA about adding Bahamas taxes since I booked.
I just paid off a July cruise (CocoCay/Western) & my taxes went down by $7, lol. 🤷♂️- 2

Great news! Our bid was accepted and we just got the congratulations email! 🥳 We originally had the spacious ocean view room, but bid for an ocean view balcony. We ended up doing $700 a person, because it showed it was the beginning of the "Fair" bid on the meter. We are sooo excited!!
Congrats! I'm glad you're excited and I hope others telling you that it was a high bid doesn't detract from your excitement. If you're happy with what you paid; that's all that matters!

I never log out of the app. It logged me out. Have you downloaded the latest update? I did this morning and now nothing but problems.
Same deal, it logged me out yesterday but hasn't since I logged back in with my new PW.
I updated the app yesterday (iOS).

Everything still OK for me since changing my PW about 24 hours ago… for now at least.
I don’t get logged out of the app btw.

Agree. And since your check-in window is a week from today (or a week from last night at midnight, port time), I would be interested in knowing if the app still allows you to select arrival time without going through the prior traveler info step. Some have reported recently that you cannot do that any longer.
I’ll try to remember to follow up here.- 1

True, that screen does show our check-in date accurately, I just hope the option to start check-in actually returns on that date.
The April 18 in my example is my next one… so you and me both!- 1

We don't do a ton of specialty but MJ brunch is currently my favorite specialty meal. Some good drinks at the bar too, which is very popular at night when the country band is playing.
Yep, they designed it really well.
I don't mean to be negative but it's usually very similar. One thing I kept grabbing there that I never saw in the WJ for breakfast were little pre-made smoothies. Sometimes I pour 2-3 into one of the larger plastic water cups with a couple ice cubes to go.
