Wonder of the Seas Blocks Are In The House!

[Chiliburn]

Do they let off a big bomb next to it like the did with the USS Ford?

They might need a test like that for the South China Sea.

Great photos Lloyd. Will be interesting to see the finish product of the Winjammer given how different the deck layout is compared to the sisters.

I think this the Windjammer and not the crew WJ.

Hard to tell, but since the chairs are still covered in plastic it’s a possibility. I am currently on Symphony (docked in San Juan)  and just left the Windjammer. I can see improvements compared to her sisters. Perhaps Wonder will have more improvements with lessons learned from the others.

The Solarium on Symphony is very nice and I’m sure Wonder is going to be great.

Our first view from inside the Windjammer. 😄

The solarium windows are certainly different.

The view from the suite restaurant at the aft end of the suite neighbourhood includes a close-up view of the zipline landing pad. 🙂

Lloyd , I haven’t noticed a carousel. I think I read somewhere the company went broke.

Love that solarium.

The company Carousel Works did indeed go bankrupt. No carousel yet(?), but the base & railing that goes around it is there.

I wonder if the window design was in any way swayed by a recent court case...

This really brings out a strong desire to do the "bubble wrap pop"...

I said the same about the Solarium roof as seen from outside, but it looks less bubble wrap-ish from inside.

Why that huge ugly opaque shield covering the stern of the ship?    Why block the view of the sea?

A functional but not esthetically-appealing feature for many folks.

What's the function/purpose  of it ?

I have no idea, but I would presume it will operate as a screen so the shows could be more dynamic

 

I am available for other great ship design ideas 😀

It´s more a sun protection. Asians are not fond of direct sun. Therefore the Wonder of the Seas has much more sun covered space than her sisters.
