Thank you for all of your great reviews and pictures!
We were on the Odyssey a couple of weeks ago and we were disappointed that they were out of the model ships in the gift shop.  We were told it was a supplier issue.

Are there any Wonder ships available?  We sail on Wonder in 4 weeks and would really like to add to our collection.

Thank you!

Yes, saw ship models last night.

UDP appears to be oversold.  Just met someone who has UDP and couldn’t get into any venue until day 7.   She canceled it.  

Great review so far! Thanks for the live! It’s been a long time since I’ve followed one so close. Definitely building excitement for our upcoming sailing! Your pictures are awesome too!

 

Did she elaborate on the situation? We’re there absolutely no reservations or was she looking for specific things and not flexible? Just trying to set our own expectations. Thanks! Looking forward to the rest!

Fabulous post...thanks for all the pictures and comments. Ship looks amazing 😊

Sorry you are having problems uploading pics. That screen was my world when I was on Explorer in November. You would think Wonder would have a better internet system.

Thank you!

I’m not a seafood person but the filet caught my eye.  
 

 

Caesar Salad

 

 

 

Without a doubt better than any MDR steak I’ve ever had.  

Thanks for all these wonderful pictures and the preview of what’s to come.

In the interest of full disclosure this cruise was booked as an interior. This was to be my first inside cabin on Royal in 21 cruises.

 

Several months ago I noticed my cabin number looked different.  Still on deck 8 but it struck that Royal changed my cabin!  I realized they moved me to a balcony and my demeanour quickly changed. 

 

They changed my cabin 😡 quickly became they changed my cabin 😀!

 

Still not sure why, but I'll take it.

Is that 21 cruises total or is that just since the last time     I thought you were a pinnacle

Have you be able to get to deck 17 or 18 for any pictures of any kind. Hallways, doors of Suites, Owner Suites,  CLS etc. Suite Sun Deck? Or not you allowed up there because not in a Suite on deck 17 or 18. How do they keeps people off those decks?

JJ Cruise who is currently on the ship, made it to deck 17 - watch his vlog.

 

@twangster thanks so much for your live review! Your reviews always rock!

Does the Solarium have a pool or just hot tubs?

I watched it and saw that he made it there at the very end of the video, but only made it to just outside the elevator bank on that deck.  Did I miss something?  Did he continue or go further?

No that’s as far as he got - so far. There are a ton of other vloggers onboard maybe one of them is in a suite or made it to forbidden territory. I’ll have to check.

Thanks!  So far the videos look beautiful!  Reminds me of a hybrid of Odyssey and Harmony.  Looking forward to my turn in October.  🙂

Interesting cabin carpet with a transition that separates the bed and sofa areas.

That looks weird. Not sure what the designer was going for there.

Looks like a big mistake to me - like someone used Clorox bleach to clean the carpets and realized it when they got out of the bed area. Unless all the cabins are the same - I would say the decorator was going a bit heavy on the cocktails while designing this.

Looks good to me.
