Sailing since March 2022, Royal Caribbean reports Wonder of the Seas is nearly 2,000 feet long and 210 feet wide with 18 decks. It can hold around 7,000 guests.

For $2,000 I spent seven nights in an ocean view cabin on deck eight. The cruise was on sale, as it was originally priced at $3,000.

The insider paid for the room, in accordance with our reporting standards.
During my trip, the ship sailed to Roatán, Honduras; Cozumel and Costa Playa in Mexico; as well as Royal Caribbean’s own private island in the Bahamas.

But much of the fun happened on the huge boat with eight common areas that Royal Caribbean calls “neighbourhoods.” Each neighborhood had its own activities.

To get up and down from the many decks of the ship, there are 24 elevators which take passengers to 16 of the 18 levels. (The two upper decks are only accessible to suite guests.)

In my experience, the elevators were crowded during peak times of the day, so I found it quicker to take the stairs on either side of the elevators.

Decks Seven, 10, and 11 contain staterooms only, but most decks offer a combination of staterooms, restaurants, venues, and activities.
