Wonder was not originally going to the Caribbean, and hot weather. With 5 ships, this was the cold weather version.

All sisters in a class of ships have their own personalities. They all have minor differences. However, they are still basically the same. So, I would pick the saving 2K, and use it for having fun.

$73.00 per day = 5 mixed drinks or 9 beers. $73.00 per day = 9 mixed drinks or 13 beers (if you are Diamond). The question is, will you have 9 mixed drinks per day? Yes, I know it includes other stuff like coffee, and/or water and soda but the question is if you have the package, will it save you money or not. I also don't buy strangers free drinks..... unless they bought me a round already. Than I would not tell them it was free.

Counting to 4 is not that hard to remember. They do give you a receipt now. But I toss it. I always tell the waiter Every bar has a menu and if you are getting a free drink, you don't need to be concerned about a price. Prices are also on the app. Every drink is available. Even water. Reloaded daily, and they do not carry forward. Good for the entire 24 hour period that ends 5:00 am daily.

well, the priority is cans.....If they get cans on their shipment, that will be what you get. But if they can't get cans, than it will be in bottles. You can have it in a bottle the first couple days, when supply runs out, than move to a can. So can it is.

Oh no, tipping again, and again and again. Simply put, if you prepay, the ship distributes the tips. If you don't prepay, and if you give nothing, or more it does not matter because each tipped employee has a mathematical formula in their paycheck that states how much pay they should get. if they get cash tips over that amount, they keep it. Anything else, they put into the tip pool. If for whatever reason, they don't make the necessary amount to put in, they may not be working long. So, don't mess with the people, it's not that much. Let the system work, it is not our business to decide if it is right or wrong.

Misplace what? Your phone, or your sea pass card? The digital key is just like a hotel. (Hilton). You can use a card or you can use your phone.

Way too many questions. This is not a ride, or amusement but a bar, that you get stuck on when it moves. Yes, it has times to get on, but that is because it moves. it moves slowly. I honestly never bothered because, it's a bar, that moves and you are stuck on it, until it stops. I also would not call it an experience, but rather a bar that moves. (unless you like elevators with glass windows but you can grab a drink and ride those also!)

Any that I am not in

I am going on Wonder of the Seas in a few months. This is the first time, and about 8 years that I am going on a ship, that I picked the ship, and not the ports. I travel internationally, and have been on every class of ship, but I pick where I am going first, and the ship, follows. The Wonder has 3 sea days, and one coco cay day, which is why the ship is important. My point is, the vacation is how you want it to be, ports, or ships, or both etc.

Actually you are pretty wrong. MTD you do not need a set time for, it is random, and they will sit you at a table, when available, if you don't have a reservation. There are plenty of tables. If you have regular dining you are assigned a seat, at a table with others. Those seats remain empty and the table mates will wonder where you are etc. The cruise line knows that a large number of MTD guests will not show up in the dining room for such things as unlimited dining or people who prefer the WJ. So it becomes the default space. Think of it this way. Traditional dining has a set number of seats, reserved, and can't be changed. But MTD is open seating as in the WJ.

Hilton is closed. However, it is owned by British Colonial or something like that. So google that, and see.

MTD - if you have a fixed time, email the rlcdining and ask for a change or call, but I would email. Even if mtd is waitlisted, they will change it to free up tables.

look on your app

you mean like grub hub? Where you call a driver to pick up your food from one of many restaurants, and have them delivered to you? They are not licensed on the ship, but if you want the food, and pay the price, maybe they will give it to you to go, if you ask but don't expect it to be like Domino's where they give you a $3.00 tip to pick it up yourself.

water is not branded. It is odorless, and tasteless. However, different companies bottle it, so you want the bottler's name. That is dependent on whatever, the port has available to purchase, and in most cases it is in a RCCL labled bottle or can.

FAQ on webpage will answer your questions about limits on wine, and irons. Wrinkles are fashionable on the ship, and no you can't iron.

well, I'm Diamond and next cruise is on a mega ship, and is a balcony guarantee. If the Pinnacles get the obstructed, than hopefully none will be left and I'll get a good room

It is per day, so more not how many days. Yes, you will go broke if you get 15 days.

water is always free. Bottled water always has a cost. If you drink lots of soda, get a soda package. If not, than pay as you go.

I would go to all shows, and eat in a different restaurant each night, and not read posts of what people like and don't like since they are not you, and your taste.

$169 - way too much $100 - too much $69.99 maybe because the food is awesome, and it is not crowded with a pool and ocean.

I'm in port 1:00 - 8:00. No worries for me. I will find a place to eat on the ship. Plenty of choices, or I will find a place on land, and get some local grub.

Two pages on just luggage tags. Color = helps with sorting B/W = sorter needs to read the tag No Tag = someone has to help you with the tag All three are ok, but only one is the easiest for the staff to sort. I like to make things easy.

Personally, some beers give you a better bang for the watered down drink. Just ask for it with an umbrella
