Random thoughts Wonder- 4 day

[PACruiseBear]

Well, I always enjoy researching my cruises here b4 I go so I guess I should return the favor, so here goes my random thoughts on the cruise. Did the 4 day Wonder trip last week. Stayed at the Radison in Cocoa Beach the night b4 and left the car there. Worked out well, nice hotel, great pool. Went to Ron Jon Surf Shop and a restaurant a few miles away called Coconuts. Nice place to eat on the beach. A local suggested it and said to park anywhere you can find a spot. He was correct. Sunday morning got a late checkout and headed to the ship at 1pm. No wait to get on, room was ready at 1:30. There is no need to go to ship any earlier than that. Had a balcony on 6th flr at the back of the ship. It was one of the ones with solid steel from the railing down but about 30 sq ft bigger than a standard balcony. The size was nice but I would not get it again. When you are sitting you really have no view of the water. Monday Nassau, did the Blackbeards swim with the stingrays excursion. We liked it, lots of time with the rays, beach time. Thougt it was a good value at $49. There were Carnival people there that paid around $70 i think. We were at Nassau till 2am that day so we took a cab over to Atlantis in the evening. This is the second time we went to Atlantis after 5-6pm and we were able to have the run of the place with no interaction from security. Got into the Dig for free and walked around the pools, etc. Made a small donation to the casino. If you have the opportunity to go see Atlantis, do it. I have seen all the big hotels in Vegas and this is the most impressive hotel I have ever seen. Even if you have to pay to see the Dig, do it. Very impressive. Tuesday was Castaway Cay day. I have been to NCL, RCL and CCL private islands, Disneys is the best. Wife and I were traveling without kids. Adult areas were always kid free, pool, beach, etc. Food was good, service was great, room was nice with exception of the couch which was due to be replaced. Debarkation was the easiest of the 8-10 cruises that we have been on. Went to MK for a few days after the cruise. Stayed at Coranado Springs. Lines were short even though it was the weekend of the Superbowl. Steeler fans everywhere which was cool. We are from Pittsburgh. Overall, a great trip. Nice 10 yr anniversary for the wife and I. See ya, Jeff

To answer the above poster, No you cant drop off your carry on early. They lock the doors to the hallways were the rooms are until 1:30 so the room hosts can finish their work without being disturbed. Everyone just lugs their carry on around with them .
