Reviewer read

One of the fleet's best ships. Not one of its best values.

Wonder of the Seas rates higher overall than 92% of the ships we track. Activities and ship quality are exceptional. The weak spot is value.

The one caution

6.3out of 10 for value

Higher than only 20% of ships. The typical ship scores 6.96.

Of the 80 reviewers who wrote about it, 24% were positive.

Everything else, in three lines

Six categories rate in the top tenth of the fleet — activities, embarkation, ship quality, entertainment, disembarkation and cabins.

Family rates that highly too, but only 86 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.

Four are good without being remarkable: service, dining, fitness and public areas. They rate higher than 67% to 86% of ships.

One falls below the fleet: value (higher than only 20% of ships).

Covered in full above.

Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, balcony and suite grades all score between 9.01 and 9.19. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
