How many people will be in the room? DH and I travel with our DD, and we've stayed in both a CLS and 1-bedroom ATS, but not an owner's suite. I'm guessing you're looking at a 1BR ATS since a 2BR would be star class and likely much more expensive than the other two suites you're considering. We had an ATS on deck 11 on Allure. They do get smaller as you go up on both Allure and Harmony, so the largest 1BRs are on deck 11. We loved the ATS and spent a lot of time on the balcony, which was amazing. We liked that there was a door to the bedroom so it could be completely closed off from the living area. We didn't like that the one bathroom could only be accessed via the bedroom, but it wasn't a deal breaker. Note that the bathroom wasn't anything special. I've seen lots of comments about the low ceiling height, but my DH is 6'4" and had no issues. All things considered, we liked the CLS better than the 1BR ATS, but not by a lot. They both score high on the "wow factor" scale, but we really appreciated the second bathroom in the CLS. We would definitely not pay more for a 1BR ATS than we would for a CLS. Being on the same deck as CK and the SL was a huge plus for the CLS. We ended up using them much more than we did when we were in the ATS. If you're looking to try something really different, the ATS could fit the bill. The owner's suites look great on paper and I know they have a lot of fans, but I personally would rather book a GS and use the money I saved to splurge on other things.

Thanks for the info and photos from your brunch at the Mason Jar. That's one of the things I'm most excited about on Wonder! I have to say, as good as a lot of their menu items sound, your DW's food looks amazing.

Awkward Emerald here, and I wouldn’t say no to a free drink.

I'm enjoying your Wonder trip report with a side of Disney! We'll be on Wonder for the first time in January (way too far off). Your photos are fantastic, and I'm loving all the food pics. We'll be visiting the Beach Club for the first time in January, and I can't wait! The price dipped to $152/person last week and I pulled the trigger. I agree with you about Castaway Cay. It has always been our favorite, but Coco Cay has really grown on us! We'll have the same itinerary in January, so I'm interested in seeing how you choose to spend your time in port. We've taken land trips to both St. Thomas and St. Maarten, so it's getting harder to come up with new and different things to do!

Thank you for sharing your trip with us! It looked like you and your friends had an amazing week and made lots of incredible memories. I went back and looked at your plans from an early post. I have to know… Did you stop at the Thirsty Cougar, and get t-shirts??

It looks like Wonder OTS is docked there today. Cruisemapper shows them near the dock (not as a dot like it would be if they were docked), but Cruising Earth shows them docked. The webcam doesn't appear to be working.

It's interesting to see the stairs (and water) in different conditions. My sister and I were there last May, and all but the first couple of steps were underwater. On a positive note, they appear to have been cleaned! They were pretty slimy when we were there. Have fun! We really enjoyed both the adult beverages and our lunch.

We did a tour with them in September and it was great! The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. They also let us know how much they appreciated that we booked with them directly vs. through a tour consolidator.

After not being able to log in for a couple of days, I reluctantly changed my password. That did the trick and I am now back in my account. I've had the same password forever, so it was probably time to change it anyway!

I'm curious about this, too. We stayed on the island in February at a resort about a 15-minute walk up the beach, and we wanted to get a day pass at or near the Kimpton for one day so we could snorkel from the beach. I called the Kimpton to ask whether they sell day passes and was told that they don't, but that we were welcome to visit any of their restaurants or bars. We ended up hanging out at Bananarama for a few hours instead. There are a handful of resorts and beach clubs on that stretch of beach that sell day passes (or simply rent chairs and umbrellas).

It always stinks to miss a port, especially if you were excited about your plans. On a positive note, this will give you more time to enjoy your amazing suite and the ship. And maybe your genie will come up with something really cool for you! Keep us posted.

I hope so. We'll finally be Diamond after our January 2025 cruise, and I'm hoping they don't increase the number of points needed before then!

There's an interesting post on the Royal Caribbean Blog today called "Spotted: Royal Caribbean trademarks new customer loyalty program names." Could mean anything (or nothing at this point)! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link to it, but it's easy enough to find via Google.

We've been to Falmouth twice. It's kind of far from some of the main tourist attractions in Jamaica. The first time we stopped there, DH and DD did a private horseback riding tour (which they loved) while I stayed on the ship. The second time DH and I got off briefly to buy Jamaican patties and Blue Mountain coffee beans and then spent the rest of the day on the ship. We'd do the same if we were to go again, but honestly I would avoid an itinerary that includes this port if possible. To each their own, but we like to get off and do something (outside the port area) at every port and Falmouth is low on our list. ETA: I would consider an itinerary with Falmouth as a stop if there were 4 port days, but not 3.

Have fun in Roatan! We spent a week there earlier this year and had a blast. The snorkeling is amazing!
