Thank you very much! For those of us who have never experienced the newer mega-ships, this gives us an excellent preview of all the other restaurants and dining experiences that are available in other parts of the Royal Caribbean fleet. I must say that there are so many hundreds of items per day/week in the buffets (four times a day), plus the main dining rooms, plus the other complimentary restaurants, that one could easily be very happy without spending extra on specialty dining.
Best description of this ship on youtube. Other bloggers are boring and make it about themselves with selfies and Instagram type photos. I actually prefer to spend extra on Specialty restaurants. If I want a burger and fries I could eat that at McDonalds. Thank you for this very informative video.😊
@@Eatsleepcruise1 second time cruiser with RC. just booked for wonder sailing on first week of September.. I am happy with ship & itinerary but nervous as its peak hurricane season… any advice please?
Thanks for the thorough review. Sailing in August on Wonder and now I can pick my dining options with care. The menu displays were extremely helpful as I like to see what's available before I reserve a dining venue. Thanks again for a 👍👍👍 vlog.
Yes, you can order as much as you like. Along with the main dining room, there are casual spots like the pizza parlor, Cafe Promenade, Dog House, and the Buffet that are all complimentary. Thanks for watchin.
Thank you so much for this informative video. One question, at the specialty restaurants are you able to sample more than one dish, such as, can you request 2 entrées?
The food choices and entertainment is why i really love royal i am booked for msc but i feel like cancelling they only have the MDR and buffett ...so sad
I was wondering about the Mason Jar on wos. Does the price of the brunch include ayce? And does the price only show up on sea pass after you have dined in?
For dining, do they place you with other people? For ex, my girlfriend and I just recently went on a MSC cruise…. Each dinner we were placed at a table with 2 other couples, (6 people total). We were not fans of this that’s why I ask!
I opted for traditional dining at 5:30pm on my upcoming cruise as a solo cruiser. Can I request to sit by myself at a small table? I also don't want to eat on the deck the casino is on because of the smoke smell? Can I request to be seated on a different deck? I know, I'm asking for a lot.
Most ships are more relaxed with formal night, can the men wear a dress shirt and maybe a tie, without a jacket. I have seem people on Royal Caribbean ships on formal night wearing hats and hooded jackets, and jeans to formal night. Please answer.
Free: still water, brewed coffee, tea, some kind of non-soda like lemonade (I’ve seen variations like fruit punch or mango), milk, chocolate milk, and juices at breakfast, iced tea (not always available), and some other options at the buffet like hot chocolate packets, apple juice, and sometimes the buffet has little smoothies out. Almond or soy milk is available free if you ask. Some venues or events offer some free alcohol options during the event.
Hello, ich think the Playmakers is not "included" in the unlimited dining package, but you get $20/person/day for Playmakers (a la carte restaurant), right???
so if we have the unlimited dining package we have to wait to get on the ship make reservations? i try to make reservations online and it keeps trying to charge me. If we get on the and wait to make reservations will they even have spots available? if not then this dining package isn't so great
Tough question. We give mdr to Royal. NCL has better specialty restaurants. Casual eats is a toss up depending on the ship. We like the local on NCL and the buffet is average. Royal mega ships have el loco fresh and the park cafe which we like.
Ignore every word of these reviews. Go, try what you want and do whatever you want and eat wherever you want. This is about you making your own memories and deciding for yourself what you enjoyed the most.
Great video, however I had to slow down playback speed to catch what you were saying which is fine. But your words are slurred a bit, otherwise tysm for all the great info!!
Honest Review of Wonder of the Sea The ship is huge…. Just added more cabins, more overprice Dining options, less venues for activities. Compare to other Oasis class, this has worst layout and less activities resulted boring cruise experience. Super difficult to find a seat at all venue. Music Hall and Bolero is smaller, while Karaoke and photo shop are super large. Service was excellent throughout the ship, including Dining Room and Windjammer. Excellent services provided by Erwin Nelson - Pool bartender, Noor of Windjammer, Fernando of Windjammer greeter, Ping at the Diamond Lounge, Juluis of Chef in kitchen and Anderson Perego of the pool towel station. The Captain is very friendly. The Beverage and Hotel Director Erfin is too pride to talk/listen and be friend with passingers. Dining Room for lunch and Dinner: Due to cost cutting, poor food quality. Very limited selection, limited to 3 appetizers and 3 main dishes. Menu is 12 years old and boring. Do not expect to have lobster until the 13th days. Pork Chops are always over cooked and very tough. However, service is wonderful, but need minor adjustment as to coordination and cooperation. Diamond Lounge: Usually there is a line for coffee. The 2 coffee machines break down daily and often. One machine has been leaking for 8 days. Also, we need more than 2 coffee machines for so many members. Mr. Ping of Beverage Dept. is very good in cleaning and reset the coffee machines constantly. Music: Third class. Bands at the Top Stage of Royal Promenade is a total waste. People just walk by and treat them as random noise that no one enjoy. Only 1 out of 50 people takes time to look up at the top stage noise makers. Boleros: Only place to dance on the ship. The LATIN band only plays the Mexican Pechanga and nothing else. At our request, they start playing Latin songs Cha Cha, Rumba, etc. at the end of the cruise. Not a true Latin band. The dance floor only fits 10 couples dancing for 7000 passengers. Sorrento: Separation of pizza from the drink and snack counter created confusion, and people flow problem. Sport Activities: Great. Zip line is super short. Production show: Wonderful and enjoyable. Enforcers 2 is fantastic. No more Broadway shows. Overall: Boring cruise unless you are super active in sport.
I was really enjoying your video UNTIL... you pronounced the "Solarium" incorrectly. It should be pronounced "SolAYrium", and NOT "SolAHrium". Apart from that?... excellent review!
What is your favorite restaurant on Wonder of the Seas?
Do you have experience/information about the Chef's Table experience? Is it the same across the RCL fleet? Or does it change/rotate on the mega-ships?
wonderland and Mason Jar

How many of the restaurants are included in the ticket itself and do you get to order as much as you want in the main dining room?
Yes, you can order as much as you like. Along with the main dining room, there are casual spots like the pizza parlor, Cafe Promenade, Dog House, and the Buffet that are all complimentary. Thanks for watchin.
Are the specialty coffees at Cafe Promenade included in the Refreshment Package?
ESC, Awesome review! thank you for sharing!
Is IZUMI a part of special dining package?
If I have a Deluxe Beverage package, all cocktaisl in specialtyl restaurants are included?
Amazing video

AMAZING, THANK YOU!!!
Glad you like it!
Hello this will be my first time on royal caribbean is the food package worth it ?
Thank you so much for this informative video. One question, at the specialty restaurants are you able to sample more than one dish, such as, can you request 2 entrées?
The food choices and entertainment is why i really love royal i am booked for msc but i feel like cancelling they only have the MDR and buffett ...so sad
Great review. Our favorite are Hooked and 150 central
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed room.
How was the food in Hooked and 150??? We love seafoods
Is the Deluxe Beverage Package included at the Specialty Dining Restaurant bars??
I was wondering about the Mason Jar on wos. Does the price of the brunch include ayce? And does the price only show up on sea pass after you have dined in?
Can you reserve a specialty restaurant with the dining package, before boarding?
How do you know which restaurant, bar or any food place is included in your fare?
Thank you!
You're welcome. Happy cruising.
For dining, do they place you with other people? For ex, my girlfriend and I just recently went on a MSC cruise…. Each dinner we were placed at a table with 2 other couples, (6 people total). We were not fans of this that’s why I ask!
Do you recommend buying any of the dining packages?
Super helpful, thanks!
I opted for traditional dining at 5:30pm on my upcoming cruise as a solo cruiser. Can I request to sit by myself at a small table? I also don't want to eat on the deck the casino is on because of the smoke smell? Can I request to be seated on a different deck? I know, I'm asking for a lot.
Wonder of the Seas DEPARTURE PORT IN END OF FEB. 2023 PLEASE OR HOW CAN I LOOK FOR TRIPS AND PORTS ,
How was the Lamb? I heard that Lobster was served at dinner and you could have all you wanted. Is that true?
Are there kids menus for the specialty restaurants?
They do have kids menus at each restaurant. Are you sailing on Wonder soon?
Does The Mason Jar have the same menu for brunch & dinner?
It’s a different menu.
Hello, sorry do you remember how much was the unlimited specialty dinning package?
Currently it's 240 before the cruise. IDK what it on the cruise.
Can you order room service from any of these restaurants?
Most ships are more relaxed with formal night, can the men wear a dress shirt and maybe a tie, without a jacket. I have seem people on Royal Caribbean ships on formal night wearing hats and hooded jackets, and jeans to formal night. Please answer.
What Kind of drinks are given if there is absolutely NO drink menue purchased? Is there table wine at dinner? Is there water? Any other drinks?
No wine or beer is included. Free drinks include still water, brewed coffee, iced tea, lemonade, and some juices at meals.
Correction. A cup of sea water is scooped out as the only option.
You always have tea to drink which is free... Water will always be served. Cold drinks and wine will be a charge. Coffee after dinner is also free.
Free: still water, brewed coffee, tea, some kind of non-soda like lemonade (I’ve seen variations like fruit punch or mango), milk, chocolate milk, and juices at breakfast, iced tea (not always available), and some other options at the buffet like hot chocolate packets, apple juice, and sometimes the buffet has little smoothies out. Almond or soy milk is available free if you ask. Some venues or events offer some free alcohol options during the event.
Hello,
ich think the Playmakers is not "included" in the unlimited dining package, but you get $20/person/day for Playmakers (a la carte restaurant), right???
Playmakers is included, you just have a set dollar amount as it’s a la Carte. We believe the current allotment is 20.
Costs? Unlimited dining 3 n 7day 😂 package?
so if we have the unlimited dining package we have to wait to get on the ship make reservations? i try to make reservations online and it keeps trying to charge me. If we get on the and wait to make reservations will they even have spots available? if not then this dining package isn't so great
We recommend making reservations as soon as you board the ship. When are you sailing?
Who has better food between NCL and RCL??
Tough question. We give mdr to Royal. NCL has better specialty restaurants. Casual eats is a toss up depending on the ship. We like the local on NCL and the buffet is average. Royal mega ships have el loco fresh and the park cafe which we like.
Ignore every word of these reviews. Go, try what you want and do whatever you want and eat wherever you want. This is about you making your own memories and deciding for yourself what you enjoyed the most.
Lol why are you watching them ?? This is informative more than opinionated ….
That's a super cute profile pic. Where ya from? Have you ever been on a cruise??@@bonitagleisle2470
Do u know if Starbucks in Wonder of the sea sell organic coffee? Also do they use filter water for the coffee?
Most likely they don’t use filtered water. You would need to ask about the types of coffee once onboard.
The best one
so if we woud like to dine at chop grill
150 central park
wonder land
we need to pay?!
Yes, those restaurants are up charges.
If you want to dine in those 3 specialty restaurants for cheaper, purchase the 3 nights dining package before your cruise.
We have found that the Ovation, Harmony and Mariner have gluten free pizza. Harmony hit it out of the park.
That is good to know. Thanks for sharing.
Is it true that there’s 24 hour complimentary room service?
No, that is not the fact on Royal Caribbean. Room service cost you money.
Great video, however I had to slow down playback speed to catch what you were saying which is fine. But your words are slurred a bit, otherwise tysm for all the great info!!
Did you find many gluten free choices in any of the restaurants?
Yes, we have seen excellent gluten free options at all the specialty restaurants. Don’t skip Giovanni’s- they do any pasta dish GF!
