Wonder of the Seas – The Inaugural Cruise Live

[BirdTravels]

Nellies Beach. A quiet beach for sun and water.

Columbus Beach. Calm waters and a kids play area.

And what’s a beach day without a picnic. The Labadee Cafe serves a BBQ picnic lunch.

Bring some cash to pick up Haitian crafts.

Here’s something The Bird has never seen before, the Promenade fire door closed. Earlier, the Hi Fog fire suppression system was activating, flooding the Promenade with a high pressure water mist. Quick thinking staff were able to save the classic vintage car, but water damage to the Promenade of Royal’s newest ship was extensive.

Oh no - What damage was done??

twangster's live review has video of the fire suppression system activated - quite impressive.

 

Thanks for the photos from Labadee!  We'll be there in April.

Lots of videos of the water pouring down, much more than a mist.  Not sure of the extensive damage that Bird is saying exists as other site says fire doors are open and promenade is open as usual.

[BirdTravels]

Good Bye Labadee.

The crew did an outstanding job and vacuuming up the water and getting the space reopened.
 

There continues to be water draining from the walls which is being dealt with continuous mopping. Around our parts, Water intrusion into walls usually has other undesirable side effects in about a week’s time with mold and mildew. Down on Deck 4, water is dripping from the ceiling in spots. Again, they are dealing with it with mops.

For the teens onboard, they produce a teen-friendly Daily Compass (with the stuff for the “old folks” removed). 

[BirdTravels]

The Bird’s favorite place to snack is El Local Fresh. They make tacos with freshly made tortilla, burritos, quesadillas, and great nachos.

Good Night

Thank you very much for the photos of Labadee! I have seen a few pictures since the reopening, but yours have been the best I’ve seen so far. I’m glad to see Labadee looking so good, and hope we will be able to visit again soon.

When you are out on the ocean, what kind of food should you eat? Seafood! And Hooked is the pace to get it. 

[BirdTravels]

Tired of chatty bartenders, these two always mix the perfect drink. 

[Ocean Boy]

What is the charge for Hooked?

[BirdTravels]

Forgot to pack something? Common drug store and electronic items are all sold in vending machines.

The crew of the Wonder of the Seas have been… well… Wonderful.
 

Royal Caribbean wanted to ensure the successful launch of this flagship of the fleet. Approximately 95% of the crew are seasoned Royal crew employees (although some have been off for nearly two years because of the pandemic). And a lot of the remaining 5% “new hires” are performers (e.g., Aqua Theater team) who do not directly interface with guests.
 

Service has been great. Sailing with just shy of 4000 passenger has been a good test.
