About Wonder of the Seas
Wonder of the Seas, delivered in 2022, was the fifth Oasis-class ship and for a time the largest cruise ship in the world. It was the first in the class with eight neighborhoods, adding a Suite Neighborhood with its own sun deck and lounge to the familiar Central Park, Boardwalk and Royal Promenade. Kids get Wonder Playscape, an open-air play zone, while adults can grab a drink at The Vue, a bar that juts out over the side of the ship. An ice rink, AquaTheater, waterslides and a Broadway-style theater all fit aboard. It has spent most of its career in the Caribbean from Florida.
Best for: Families and friend groups who want every Oasis-class extra plus a dedicated suite area on a Caribbean week.

It suits families, groups and active couples who want a floating resort and a private-island beach day, and it’s less suited to anyone who wants quiet, small ships or an all-inclusive fare.
