Wonder of the Seas

Who this ship suits

Royal Caribbean presents Wonder of the Seas as its weekend ship from Miami, and says every weekend cruise includes a stop at one or both of its private destinations, including Perfect Day at CocoCay. That makes it a practical choice for a first cruise, a long weekend with friends, or families testing whether cruising works for them before committing to a full week.

Who might look elsewhere

Short weekend sailings tend to be busy and lively. If you want a slower week, more ports, or a ship where evenings are quieter, a seven-night Caribbean itinerary on a different ship may suit you better.

On board

The line lists the Ultimate Abyss slide, The Perfect Storm waterslides, the FlowRider surf simulator, the Wonder Playscape for children and Wonder Dunes mini golf. Dining includes the Windjammer buffet and The Mason Jar, a Southern-style restaurant. On a three or four night cruise you will not get to everything, so choose the few things that matter most.

Cabins and planning

On a short cruise, the cabin is mostly a place to sleep, so many travellers choose an inside or ocean view cabin and spend the savings on a better night-before hotel or a beach day. If a balcony matters to you, it still adds a private space for early mornings.

Planning checklist

• Fly in the day before; a short cruise has no margin for a missed sailing.
• Decide in advance whether you want any paid extras at the private island.
• Check the current itinerary, since the private destination order can vary.
