Thanks for that excellent review! I am glad that the night stands FINALLY has USB & a outlet! Yah..a creator was thinking and listening to the people! I will be on the WONDER IN JUNE OF 2023! CAN'T WAIT 🥳🥳
I watch alot of wonder of the sea videos trying to learn all I can about my upcoming cruise trip and u were the only one to mentioned that the desk pull out and there's a charging port on the phone thank u for that
I loved the backsplash in the bathroom. Also, the footstools with the balcony chairs were great. I think Carnival and NCL have the same chairs but without the stools. I thought the entire cabin was pretty, probably because blue is my favorite color.
Blue is my favorite color too. It's such a drastic change from the 80's decor of the Freedom class ships. Personally, I'd have liked to have a larger table outside, but you can always take the desk table out. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Josh, My sister and I can't wait to get aboard. We have 2 weeks to wait. Thank you for a really great educational video. Hope you had a great time.
I never knew what that bar was in the shower. Thought it was for wheel chair. I do love that design in the bathroom. I loved the balcony on my trip but the door was so new hard to open. Yours looked easy.
@@margiehenry9736 I quit buying suits because I keep growing out of then lol. I don't really dress up. But I understand your situation. Thanks for watching.
My first thought was all the bruised calves that will result from the placement of those pegs. Poor choice. Overall I like the lighter decor of the room, but still prefer the more sophisticated look on Symphony/Harmony.
We are traveling with family, two cabins next to each other but not adjoining. It looks like we may have a door to access balconies together. Is that true?
Most cabins I've seen, the balcony divider can be opened to allow access between two cabins. Just ask your stateroom attendant. I hope you have an AMAZING time and thank you for watching.
Great video! Thank you! We have a balcony room on Deck 8 and our trip is in August 2023. Cannot wait! Thanks again for making that video. I made a room video also some years ago on a Carnival ship and that is still posted on my channel. Feel free to check it out.
Wasn't tight at all.. and the balcony is fairly deep... Standard for a standard Balcony. I've definitely seen much smaller, especially on carnival and Norwegian.
Actually, this cabin is 182sf with a 50sf balcony - as opposed to Adventure balcony cabin is 162sf with a 46sf balcony. So, at least in Royal's case, that's not accurate. But thank you for watching- it's really appreciated.
So it looks very much the same as other balcony rooms on other RC ships. I’m in Australia, and I don’t think we have the facilities to handle ships of this size
The layout is similar, the decor\furniture is quite different and modern. 2 closets vs one on Freedom class. And no 80s color scheme. I found it quite comfortable. I agree, there are a limited number of ports that can handle ships that size. Hopefully my Aussi friends can cruise soon.
@@bsn1-6balladaresgrecia20 Reservations for all the shows and restaurants can be made via the app once on board. I highly recommend that be the first thing you do- connect to the ships wifi and book your shows and restaurants. Check-in was essentially showing your docs and scanning your set sail pass. Parking was kind of a pain because they have multiple parking lots and once you get past "19" you have to take a shuttle. Pt Everglads isn't my fav.
99% of all ships will have this- exceptions would be Virgin but their bed takes up space unless you get them to make a sofa out of it. Or cabins with too little space for a sofa. If there's space, they usually fill it.
The problem with this room is I don't watch TV in bed. Hopefully the TV can be angled to watch from the couch. Also - that art work is horrendous! I love the little foot rest for shaving legs. I always had to bring the balcony stool into the shower 😁 - It is an ok room but I don't love the colour.
Thank you for posting this video. I'm quite disappointed in the size of the room. Was hoping standard rooms would be bigger on this new ship. Yup, I'm going to have to get at least a loft suite when I book. I'm very claustrophobic and will need a lot of room for comfort. I even have to look at the floor in an elevator
Besides some color changes, very similar setup to Odyssey and Symphony. I don't see anything that isn't included with Odyssey. Celebrity does a way better job for number of outlet and USB plugs, IMHO. Nothing in this cabin really WOW me.
Most of royal carribean cater to amenities outside of the room. And while celebrity’s probably do have better cabins this cruise line has some of the best cabins compared to most other ships
I hadn't unpacked yet. Plus, I didn't have that many clothes so I had plenty of space. But yes.. on a longer cruise with more clothes, I would have utilized the space under the bed. Thank you for watching Really appreciate it.
I just watched a video of a Princess balcony cabin. I didn't see a lot of extra space. There wasn't even a couch, just a bed and desk taking up all the space.
I'm not a fan of the W.O.S rooms decor. It's like 1990s - like old RCI ships. Looks like they skimped on it, thinking of the Chinese Markets tastes as was their original plan...I prefer the Quantum class decor ..much more modern and opulent.
@@JourneywithJosh I personally don’t like the blue doors and tiles in the bathroom. Also the beige looks a bit bland and minimalistic to me. I prefer the look of Harmony and Symphony where it’s a lot of dark wood and silver etc.
@@Martiivrooii I saw the sailing plans for this ship and there were many more international trips than domestic. As you said and others pointed out they are catering towards the Asian market to bring in more people.
Thanks for the video. I am not liking the bed next to the balcony. Looks cramped getting in and out of the room. Also the room looks a little small compared to some that I have stayed in on other ships. Just my two cents.
The bed next to the balcony is a room specific case as other rooms have the sofa next to the balcony. This is why I do room tours so that people can see what this specific room looks like. For me the room was quite spacious for a standard balcony cabin.

We’ll be boarding WONDERS on February 26. Thank you for giving us an insight. We’ll be on the 10th - balcony overlooking CENTRAL PARK
Glad this helps you some. I hope you have a fantastic time.

Thanks for the tour
Aww thank you for watching.
Thank you Josh. Great detailed tour. I quite like the room. Loving the tiles in the bathroom.
Thank you
Ps.. I like the room too as blue is my favorite color.
wow josh thats a beautiful cabin :) love it :)
Thank you.. I liked it too. Thanks for watching.
Great review
Thank you.. and thank you for watching.
…looks like FUN on the Sea!
Absolutely the same has the anthem of the seas
Thanks for watching
Lovely!!!!
Thank you for watching
Thanks for showing USB ports by the bed and the rollout table
You are most welcome, and thank you for watching.
Looks similar to my Independence of Seas room but independence only have one closet but it was large with a larger safe
Have a fantastic cruise. Thanks for watching
7:29 balcony starts
TFS! 🙏
Not much closet space. Love the little lamps and USB port. Did you get to see the suites? Grand< owners and Crown loft?
There's literally 2 closets. How much space would 2 people need?
@@JourneywithJosh well I need a LOT because I bring formal wear for every night. But I book suites for that reason and the perks.
@@margiehenry9736 I quit buying suits because I keep growing out of then lol. I don't really dress up. But I understand your situation.
Thanks for watching.
I watched the ship leaving port Everglades, I got pictures and video
It looked like the shower had a pull-out clothes/drying line. Is that correct?
Yes it did
We're on April 15th!
Since deck seven it’s just above the boardwalk, how was the noise level in your balcony Oceanview room?
Since the cabin faces the ocean, I don't recall ever having any issues with the boardwalk. Cabins that face inwards would.
It won’t be too long before the area under the TV will show signs of wear and tear from hanger usage.
And those hooks will probably catch on your clothes a lot. They should be on that little wall area between the tv and the dresser
My first thought was all the bruised calves that will result from the placement of those pegs. Poor choice. Overall I like the lighter decor of the room, but still prefer the more sophisticated look on Symphony/Harmony.
Nice room with the new minimalist decor. The colors are peaceful but it still looks like the upgraded Motel 6.
We are traveling with family, two cabins next to each other but not adjoining. It looks like we may have a door to access balconies together. Is that true?
Most cabins I've seen, the balcony divider can be opened to allow access between two cabins. Just ask your stateroom attendant.
I hope you have an AMAZING time and thank you for watching.
Is the shower the same old little tube
"glass" enclosure but a bit bigger
On royal's site they say this room can accommodate 4 people.. I'm not sure how that would be possible. Am I missing something?
Sofa pulls out for 2 people
Great video! Thank you! We have a balcony room on Deck 8 and our trip is in August 2023. Cannot wait! Thanks again for making that video. I made a room video also some years ago on a Carnival ship and that is still posted on my channel. Feel free to check it out.
Thank you and thank you for watching. Hope you have an amazing time. It's a big ship. Will check out your video too
Can you show the suites?
I've got material of the ultimate family suite and Royal loft suite.. will work on that when I get home.
Thanks for watching.
Just posted the Ultimate Family Suite
Room seems a little tight, small balcony
Wasn't tight at all.. and the balcony is fairly deep... Standard for a standard Balcony. I've definitely seen much smaller, especially on carnival and Norwegian.
Seems like these newer ship's staterooms keep getting smaller and smaller to get more people on there. Same thing with Carnival's newer ships.
Actually, this cabin is 182sf with a 50sf balcony - as opposed to Adventure balcony cabin is 162sf with a 46sf balcony. So, at least in Royal's case, that's not accurate. But thank you for watching- it's really appreciated.

All service staff on the ship comes from Indonesia/Phillipines?
They come from all over the world. Thank you for watching.
What time did u board?
12
@@JourneywithJosh my check in is at 1pm. Did you go to customer services to book your reservation right away? Was it packed?

I never going to that ship! It's too expensive! I love Wonder of the Seas!
Like all new ships, prices are at a premium. As time goes by, prices will drop. Thank you for watching. It's much appreciated.
Bathrooms look the exact same as Norwegians brand new ship (breakaway)
How much does it cost tho
The price will vary depending on date and itinerary. You can check prices on their website. Thank you for watching
I like everything but the blue headboard, just seams too bare - would have been better as a heathered fabric or something tbh
Yay.. I'm in 550 balcony
have fun!!! Thanks for watching.
I wish there were more spacious rooms.. i won’t need the couch nor the desk table :(
99% of all ships will have this- exceptions would be Virgin but their bed takes up space unless you get them to make a sofa out of it. Or cabins with too little space for a sofa. If there's space, they usually fill it.
It’s quite standard
Hence why in the description I say "standard balcony cabin" lol
Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it more than you could know
The problem with this room is I don't watch TV in bed. Hopefully the TV can be angled to watch from the couch. Also - that art work is horrendous! I love the little foot rest for shaving legs. I always had to bring the balcony stool into the shower 😁 - It is an ok room but I don't love the colour.
I saw in another video that it does... I didn't wanna take a chance breaking it to find out.

Me, too Quantum is much nicer. It's too 90s in its colours.. doesn't flow..
Looks like Symphony of the Seas...no difference.
7692 room cost.
It will vary depending on the cruise.
Besides some color changes, very similar setup to Odyssey and Symphony. I don't see anything that isn't included with Odyssey. Celebrity does a way better job for number of outlet and USB plugs, IMHO. Nothing in this cabin really WOW me.
Thank you, and thank you for watching. Celebrity however is a different market. I'll be experiencing them next week.
Most of royal carribean cater to amenities outside of the room. And while celebrity’s probably do have better cabins this cruise line has some of the best cabins compared to most other ships
I agree. It's like it's from the 90s. Not as tasteful as Quantum or Anthems decor
Motel 6
Thank you for watching.
Sir, you should put your luggage under the bed…
I hadn't unpacked yet. Plus, I didn't have that many clothes so I had plenty of space. But yes.. on a longer cruise with more clothes, I would have utilized the space under the bed. Thank you for watching
Really appreciate it.
This carpet around the bed looks disgusting. Srsly this is the best what they have?
Thank you for watching.
Compared to a Princess balcony cabin, this is really tiny. Almost no closet space at all. No thanks!
I just watched a video of a Princess balcony cabin. I didn't see a lot of extra space. There wasn't even a couch, just a bed and desk taking up all the space.

Not a fan of the new colors and style. Clearly targeted to the Asian market.

Looks pretty standard to me. Nothing special.
Compare it to Freedom, Independence, or Navigatior
