You should be able to find one via google.

Not 2024 but I was there in late October, 2023. Positives: It was very peaceful with plenty of shade (we got there pretty early and pretty much had our choice of palapas). Service wasn't perfect but it was fine. Negatives: Frozen drinks were terrible. Icy and lacking in flavor. I switched to margaritas which were weak but otherwise fine. Food was edible but underwhelming. Giving Paradise Beach a try this summer.

Sorry, typical app inconsistency I guess. I can see mine for my June cruise.

The safety tab doesn't appear until much closer to your cruise now. Go to "Day 1" in the "My Calendar" section. You should find "Guest Safety Briefing" listed. Click on that and it will show you "B3 - Royal Theater" or whatever yours is. NOTE: If you don't see it, try switching to another day and going back to day 1. Hope this helps.

It's $38.99 for my June and July Wonders. It was $19.99-26.99 for last week's depending on the sale. Prices are all over the map.

Yes, but certain add-ins (like protein powder I guess, I don't know much about that stuff) may cost extra. I do know I took my niece to get a basic smoothie there before and she used a voucher.

No reservations at PC.

Same experience on Wonder last week.

Not worth anything to me but each person will value the extra food, heated pool, avoiding kids, etc. differently.

As soon as you step on the ship. In fact, it's mandatory to use one within the first hour.

It's on Deck 4 forward and they have two self-serve coffee machines that make espresso-based drinks like cappuccinos, lattes, etc.

I'm not interested in getting too heavily involved in the tip discussion, but... Someone who claimed to have previously worked as a bartender on Oasis recently did an AMA on Reddit and claimed they they did indeed receive a tip when you use a voucher. The math was a bit convoluted but basically he said he received a little over $1 per drink from RC. Believe it, don't believe it, just sharing.

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!
