SWOOP DOWN THE TALLEST SLIDE AT SEA

Calling all daredevils and thrill-seekers: test your mettle and earn bragging rights plunging down the Ultimate Abyss℠, a slide so impressive it may give you pause. This Royal Caribbean® classic dispatches guests on a twisting, turning, white-knuckle, ten-storey ride over the stern of the ship. And although it appears quite intimidating, this dry slide is kid-friendly and open to all who meet the 112 cm height requirement. Admission is included in your cruise fare and reservations aren’t necessary, so feel free to come back whenever the urge to amp up your adrenaline strikes!

WEATHER A PERFECT STORM

Another slide, this one a water slide, also ranks high among guest favourites. The exhilarating Perfect Storm℠–which consists of a trio of hair-raising slides–can be found on the starboard side of the main pool. Challenge a friend to the dual racers to see who is the speediest Storm survivor. Or bump up the thrills and try out the first boomerang-style and headfirst mat racer water slide at sea. For more chill aquatic fun, take the little ones to Splashaway Bay℠, a water park full of giggles and good fun found on the main pool’s port side. Both the Perfect Storm℠ and Splashaway Bay℠ are included in your cruise fare.  

SOAR THROUGH SPACE 10 DECKS UP

Ready to take adventure to new heights, ziplining above the Boardwalk®? Then harness up and try to calm your pounding heart as you get ready to experience another Oasis Class favourite. For an Insta-worthy shot, have someone waiting at the other end, ready to take pics of your brave self zooming through space like a rocket! No need to make a reservation for this top-rated attraction, and it too is completely complimentary. Just one taste of this high-flying adventure and you will understand why it’s considered one of the top experiences to enjoy onboard. 

FIND YOUR FOOTING ON FLOWRIDER®

Another iconic Royal Caribbean attraction is found onboard Wonder of the Seas: the amazing (and fabulously free!) FlowRider®, a 40-foot-long wave simulator that channels 30,000 gallons of rushing water. With the perfect swell around the clock, you can test your skills surfing upright or take on the challenge boogie-style. Either way, you are in for waves of excitement most people don’t expect to find onboard when they book a cruise! If you prefer to watch others attempt to hang ten, there is plenty of stadium seating for spectators–but don’t say we didn’t warn you, prepare to get splashed!

TRY TEEING OFF AT SEA

While mini golf has been a long-standing activity of choice among guests cruising with Royal Caribbean, Wonder of the Seas reinvents the experience with a cornucopia of sea-inspired surprises. Tee off in Wonder Dunes, an immersive, underwater-themed mini golf journey where every hole is part of a marine story. Putt your way around the course, discovering sea snails with racing stripes, jellyfish, turtles and even a giant octopus. This complimentary activity is sure to become a family favourite you will want to share time and again.

PLAY AWAY THE DAY

Wonder of the Seas is home to Wonder Playscape℠, a game-changing space so packed with fun, you (and certainly the children) may want to stay indefinitely! With a cool aquatic theme, Wonder Playscape℠ offers slides, climbing walls, games, puzzles, interactive murals and other opportunities to fuel young imaginations. With activities appropriate for all ages, this complimentary destination is likely to become one of your family’s preferred hang outs. 

TASTE YOUR WAY AROUND THE WORLD

You’re definitely in luck because, onboard Wonder of the Seas, you’ll find some of the best cruise restaurants at sea, featuring everything from fast bites to epicurean delights. Savour trattoria fare at Giovanni’s℠ Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar, where you will feel instantly transported to Tuscany’s romantic foothills. Or go for a fiesta of flavours at El Loco Fresh® and its adjacent Cantina Fresca℠ bar, stocked with tall fruity drinks worthy of every loco-good bite. For a delicious journey to the United States, head over to the all-new Mason Jar℠, serving up Southern classics with a contemporary twist as well as a fantastic brunch. In addition to specialty restaurants, you’ll find many complimentary options onboard, including the Main Dining Room, the Solarium Bistro, Johnny Rockets® and more. And when the urge strikes to top a great meal with an alfresco drink and incomparable ocean views, you will be stunned by the aptly named Vue Bar℠.

CUE THE JAMS AT MUSIC HALL

Next-level entertainment is a given when you cruise with Royal Caribbean, and Wonder of the Seas℠ definitely delivers. Add Music Hall to your to-do list–it’s an expansive concert venue that hosts top-notch cover bands. With vibes running the gamut from disco to big band jazz, rock and roll and pop, this is the place to let loose on the dance floor. Or if you are in the mood to simply catch the concert, grab a refreshment at the bar and kick back in the venue’s comfy lounge area. Like all the other onboard shows, Music Hall performances are included in your fare.

BECOME A KARAOKE SENSATION

Round up family and friends and take them to Spotlight℠ Karaoke, a talent-showcasing hot-spot where you can hit the stage and impress them with your vocal abilities–or lack thereof! Whether you’re into showtunes, pop hits or classic rock ballads, the song bank features thousands of tunes from across genres and decades. Main stage performances are included in your fare, or, at a charge, you can reserve one of two private rooms for a personal show.

Settle In For Live Show-stopping Performances

With a spectacular playbill of original entertainment on stage, ice and water, Wonder of the Seas features a world-class ensemble of singers, dancers and performers. Discover the largest–and most impressive–theatrical venue at sea during Voices: An Intimate Performance on a Grand Scale. Experience inTENse, a new AquaTheater production where divers and aerialists perform mind-defying stunts, teetering across tightropes and plunging into the deepest pool at sea. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the four seasons during 365: The Seasons on Ice, as inspired performers dazzle on skates. Of course these and all other onboard shows are included in your fare. 

While we have touched on 10 of the top things to do onboard Wonder of the Seas, many other surprises and discoveries await you. So go ahead, start planning your 2022 cruise sailing on the world’s largest cruise ship. We’re pretty sure you are in for the voyage of a lifetime!
