When I go to book a cruise, I click on balcony room, it then goes to a page to let Royal chose your room or You pick your room. When Royal chooses the room, the room can be Boardwalk balcony, Central Park balcony, or Ocean View Balcony, it's not just O.V. Balcony, correct?

Thanks

No Broadway shows on Wonder.  RCI is starting to do away with them.  Odyssey does not have them either. 

so what do they do in the main theater, or do they have a theater?

I'm a little late to the party as they say. What broadway show is on the ship, was the ice skating and diving show any good? Anything different on this ship than the other oasis class ships, thanks

flying into Hobby airport is closer than IAH

If I am reading your question correctly, you are asking if you book a cruise now in Nov for a cruise next month in December, will you get a price adjustment or OBC? The answer is no because if you are booking a cruise now for next month, you will pay in full and will be past final payment since the cruise is so soon.  If the price drops before your cruise next month, you can call and inquire about an upgrade depending on the actual price drop. 

 

If you mean December 2023, there are those options if the price drops before your final payment deadline. 

 

Sorry if I am misunderstanding your question. 

No you answered it perfectly, thank you

So, if I book a cruise for this december and the price drops later, can I get a price adjustment or obc?  Sorry, so much to read and understand, thank you.

is this normal for this time of year, was wanting to go the first of DEC????? and I don't want my son n law to get sick, hes never cruised before? any advice

Absolutely. You won’t get to see all the shows you’d get on a 7 nighter but you should get to see the ice show, the Aqua show and either Effectors 2 or Voices. Plus maybe a headliner in the theatre one night.

 

On top of that there’s live music all over the ship every night in the Music Hall, Central Park, the Schooner Bar, the Mason Jar, Boleros and the pub - bound to be something to your taste.

In fact there’ll be so much entertainment you won’t be able to see it all!

 

thank you

I'm thinking about going on the Wonder for 3 nights, do they have shows, entertainment, etc. on a three night cruise.  thanks

If it's possible to take a cruise from San Juan, I'd suggest doing that. The seas in the Southern Caribbean are much more calm than Eastern (the worst in my experience because you're further out into the open water of the Atlantic Ocean) or Western (closer to the Gulf, which is a more contained body of water than the Atlantic).
 

I get seasick, but have only had a major problem once, when we sailed an eastern itinerary on a Voyager class ship during rough seas (rough enough that people were losing their balance walking through the hallways). 
 

Since then, I've always brought the scopolamine patch with me. I've learned that it's best to put it on the morning of the cruise, before getting on the ship, and then leave it on until day 2 or 3, and then remove it for at least a day (or more if you feel that you're not getting queasy). The reason I do that is because the patch can make your eyesight blurry and it can give you a sore throat, when you get too much medication for your body to process. I left mine on for almost the whole 7 days once and by day 5 I couldn't even read the dinner menu. My eyesight came back hours after removing it. 
 

I've cruised the Southern Route out of San Juan a couple times, and haven't needed the patch at all. The seas down there are so much calmer, and there are so many port stops that you're never on the ship for very long, and the likelihood of getting sea sick is much lower. 
 

Another benefit of the southern route (and I stress again that I'm talking about the southern route that leaves from San Juan, not the ones that leave from the mainland), is that the beaches are so much better. Such beautiful, crystal blue, calm water, and just overall more authentic islands. It's my favorite route, and in my opinion, the best Caribbean route for people who get seasick. 

thanky you, makes sense 🙂

If that is the criteria, don’t waste a bunch of money on Wonder, take a 3 or 4 day cruise on Indy or Freedom to confirm they won’t get sick and actually enjoy cruising. 
 

You can try to find a current 5 day cruise on any O class and look at what they cut out from the 7 day norm. 

 

I was thinking of the Freedom Class, but this person has never cruised before, only whale watching, so that's why he thinks he'll get sick. The ships are so big that we barely feel motion.  Do you think you'll feel more motion with a freedom class since they're smaller than Oasis class?

It's rare to get seasick (to the point it impacts your activities) on a cruise ship during normal weather.

 

If your guest has that concern, have their doc prescribe the patch for at a minimum peace of mind.

does the patch make you sleepy

Advice on a 5 day cruise on the Wonder, are there any activities, shows, etc. on a 5 day.  I've only taken 7 day cruises but the person I'm going with feels like they will get sea sick and only want to do a short cruise. Has anyone been on the Wonder?  Thanks

A least one of the original people have to remain on the booking and the same amount of people as originally booked and no reprice is necessary. 
 

We booked this morning and did nonrefundable because of the $450 price difference. 

i know the refundable is so expensive. do you get a certificate if you change sail dates or can you cancel 2 months ahead of time without a problem,  the rules have changed over the years. 2024 is so far out, i don't know where my kids will be job wise. 

I'm thinking about May 2024, but it's so far off, is booking a refundable ticket the best.  What if one person in the cabin can't go, and I want to change people, etc. Do i just cancel and rebook and the price could be higher.  Or, can I just add that person to our reservation?  Thanks

I'll be making diamond after our 4 night JS on Liberty!!!!😊

yay!!!!

I went on Symphony in May and it was a mad house per su with everyone crusing again, so i'm afraid this will be the same way.  It did clear out during the week like it usually does, but Icon seems to be alot going on. 

Just now, cruiselvr04 said:

I actually did both this year, though on Celebrity. The Norwegian Fjords was 7 days from Southampton and the Greek Islands and Malta, 10 days from Rome.

A lot depends on time of year. The NF cruise was May and quite chilly but scenery was spectacular and we really enjoyed it. The ports were new to us.

Our Greek Islands was on a brand new ship and though really good, we had been to several of the ports before. Our favourite port  was Malta. Though it was June it was very hot and I dont think I could do a southern Med cruise in July or August .  

On balance, because I quite like a cool weather cruise and because of the scenery I think I liked the Fjords one best, but would go on either again

Thank you, that's what I'm leaning towards for May as well.  Can you tell me what you did in the ports that you liked?  Thanks so much
