Looks like sea views from the BW balconies are going to be blocked by more than just the purple slide. 

 

Some side views taken from a distance, with ships and things blocking some of the view of the Wonder of the Seas. 😎

It looks like a projection screen of some kind . Laser or something.

Those parts are just coming non stop, guess RCL would wish things go slower 🙂

A good view of the AquaTheatre's addition.

Possible kids playground.

@Lloyd555 - Those are some interesting cut-outs (triangular shapes) on that front block. Are those to be permanent? I am sure it will look great when it's all done but, it's definitely different from the sisters. For now they are keeping it interesting and keeping some of us who like to follow ship construction guessing on things.  

 

More of the triangle patterns that we've seen on front end of the deck 17-18 area.

I think it will look good. It may also be designed to block the wind coming directly into the balcony perhaps.

So this is what is on the Starboard side that kept us all guessing. I would have never guessed it right. With a lot of kids stuff here, I can see why the Suite area was changed. Looks like the premium Lofts are now forward instead of the back like the other Oasis class.

Seems like they are following the successes of Spectrum and applying that to Wonder. This playground idea I thought was pretty underwhelming, not something I can't find anywhere else. Bummer.

There is a lot of kid stuff there for sure, which also shows they are even more focus on family friendly cruises. I image the mid ship pool/play section that use to be for kids on the other sister ships may be also different on Wonder given this new space in the aft.

Okay. So with some detective work I found out that it turns out that there are two versions of the kids play area on the 100architect site.

 

There is this one that I just spotted that takes up a small portion of deck 15:

And then there is this version of the kids play area that we saw earlier in the day that takes up two decks... and has a 9 hole mini golf. 

 

 

Please ignore the flooded Boardwalk in some of the upcoming images. 😆

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey! The steps/tiers that we can see in the original rendering are here!

It would be good to be a kid again.

I'm a kid at heart at 57 years old.

I'll check out the play area! Well, when nobody is there... at night... wearing a mask that hides my face... and I'll speak with an accent. 😜

 

[Tall-Cruiser]

Wow! That's a big kid play area.

So do you know which version they are going with?

The 100architects lets you comment on projects, so I asked. No reply yet.

I just was looking over the photos Lloyd and realized that this photo is on the aft facing side and not the forward suite section.

The one that will bring the fewest lawsuits - though those should be minimal till the ship sails US itineraries.

 

Biker, who for some reason sees lots of "accidents" possible, followed by lawsuits (in the US).

Don't know if you have any kids Biker, but everything that looked fun when you were young just looks like an accident waiting to happen when you're a parent.  I have no idea how I survived my childhood.

You make a good point. Some of those water future shapes makes you "wonder", and especially those that are near the balcony railing. 

[Lloyd555]

No surprise,  but I've confirmed that the

Infamous Windjammer is indeed the venue taking up the space on both starboard & port side of deck 15 (under the basketball court and potential larger playground), partially under the loft suites area, and a wee bit at the other end under the Tidal Bar. There's three walls of windows facing down into the Boardwalk (as seen in drawing below).

There may be a 4th wall of windows below the railing near Tidal Bar, but not sure. 

 

 

 

Looks like a wall of windows on the left, but is that accurate.  Heck, there's ocean water below them... we know that's not right. 😜

Based on that particular rendering, it looks like it does continue to loop around to the left. On other Oasis class ships, the white section above on the same left side is were the ship name is displayed.
