Been There – Wonder of the Seas
Been There – Wonder of the Seas is a mug for one of Royal Caribbean’s crown jewels – currently among the largest cruise ships in the world. Launched in 2022, this massive vessel measures about 1,188 feet long, spans 210 feet wide, and towers 236 feet high. It weighs roughly 236,857 gross tons and can carry over 7,000 guests along with a crew of more than 2,000, making it a floating city packed with entertainment, dining, and thrills.
Some of the attractions of this cruise ship:
Ice Skating at Sea
Yes, you can ice skate on a cruise ship. Wonder of the Seas has a full-sized ice rink, Studio B, where guests can lace up skates and glide – no experience needed. The rink also hosts dazzling ice shows with professional performers defying physics on moving water.
El Loco Fresh
This casual eatery brings bold Mexican flavors to the pool deck. Tacos, burritos, nachos, and salsa bars keep the vibe festive and the plates full. It’s quick, fresh, and the kind of spot you keep coming back to between adventures.
The Mason Jar
Southern comfort food gets a stylish twist at The Mason Jar. Think fried chicken, shrimp & grits, and bourbon-laced milkshakes in a cozy, farmhouse-inspired setting. It’s comfort on a plate, served with live country music and a laid-back atmosphere.
Spotlight Karaoke
Spotlight Karaoke is where you let loose and sing your heart out. Private booths and a main stage let you choose your spotlight moment, solo or with friends. The crowd is friendly, the drinks are flowing, and the vibe is all-in fun.
The FlowRider Surf Simulator
Get your adrenaline fix without ever leaving the ship. The FlowRider lets you surf or bodyboard against 30,000 gallons of rushing water. It’s a wet, wild ride – perfect for showing off or wiping out in style.
The Vue Bar
Perched high above the ocean, The Vue is a glass canopy bar with panoramic views and stylish drinks. It’s the spot for a cocktail at sunset or a quiet morning mimosa. With its colorful mosaic canopy, it’s both a hangout and a photo op.
AquaTheater Shows
At the aft of the ship, the open-air AquaTheater hosts jaw-dropping acrobatic performances. High-dives, synchronized swimming, and aerial stunts unfold with the ocean as a backdrop. It’s one of the most visually stunning shows you’ll ever see on water.
Central Park
Right in the heart of the ship, Central Park is an open-air garden lined with real trees, winding paths, and upscale dining. It’s a surreal escape – a tranquil green space surrounded by steel and sea. Walking through it feels like stepping into another world.
Ultimate Abyss Slide
For thrill seekers, the Ultimate Abyss is a 10-story dry slide that drops you from deck 16 to deck 6. It’s fast, dark, and full of twists, and it’s the tallest slide at sea. No water involved – just gravity, speed, and adrenaline.
