Wandering on the Wonder--A Semi-Live (Maybe) Review

[crewsweeper]

Love the elevator buttons. 
Thus far we’ve had no elevator issues.

Short waits, most times empty. Even on embarkation day.

 

[crewsweeper]

And not my thing but some casino shots, mostly slots but there’s another room.

 

[crewsweeper]

Few shots around the ship.

No problem at Coco Cay the past few cruises.  We had one windy/rainy day but no docking issues.

M

thanks.     but yes Coco Cay is a miss about 10% of the time for the fleet.   I have been there when the winds were high and we barely got in.

Probably, recall Paul as first name in intro.

whose the chubby Brit doing intros? He was funny too in spots.

I would say Simeon Kirkiles but he isn't British and he does full sets of comedy.

Giovanni’s for dinner. Think they dropped some things off the menu. Thought there was a chop or a risotto dish. And the hazelnut tort on the app menu isn’t listed on the printed menu.

Still more food that we could eat.

I hate that the got rid of the seats and it’s all benches now. My least favorite aqua show on all the oasis. Not much diving anymore, just all women dancing around.

Giovanni's Table has the risotto. Tell K I said hi.

I couldn’t agree more! I find those benches horribly uncomfortable!

I agree. Mostly modern dance with ninja moves to electronic music. Just done in water. 
Glad to see there’s life after college swimming and diving for these women. Obviously talented and well choreographed. Still, abit repetitive. 
Not sure if we’ll watch next year.

On a recent sea day on Wonder all the below were open for lunch.  We recently had the UDP and went to Hooked, Giovnni's, and Sushi for lunch during the week.   We did not  have a reservation for the sushi restaurant, but they were able to seat us at the sushi bar.

Chops

You can always look up the current sailing in the app. You'll see the same info as everyone onboard sees.

Day 3. Sea Day.

Chair hogs discovered early times on Solarium. 2 loungers down had towels and books out shortly after 7. Were still there at 11when we left. Saw no one.

Vets event. Not as good as what Carnival does, but still very nice and champagne and cupcakes were served 😋🥂

Promenade Parade—Anchors Aweigh.

[crewsweeper]

Dinner was Mason Jar. Enjoyed brunch there but for dinner most of the food was lukewarm at best.

Lobster Gumbo was really crawfish.

Shrimp and grits wasn’t southern,but the polenta was tasty.

DW’s brisket was pretty fatty.

no picture but chocolate pecan pie was essentially Hooked’s chocolate brownie middle with nuts in a pie crust.

So rumors to shy away from Mason Jar for dinner seem to bear truth.

The bar does have Whistle Pig Rye,for those inclined. Nice sea views from bar too.
