That’s correct I asked at future cruise last evening ( to add that they have been busy all cruise ) and the lady said that although she had no idea they had started to release staterooms again.

Maybe you'll be able to answer that question for them. TIA! Thursday August 18th Rome ( Civitavecchia ) no belly flop contest as yet. Expect if there is to be one it’ll be on Saturday the only sea day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ship docks at 7:00 am, but can you let me know what time they announce the gangway actually being open? Trying to figure out the earliest train into Rome that I can make on that day once off the ship. Docked when we woke up at 07.15 Gangway opened exactly 07.30 Complimentary shuttle bus to the bus hub “ Largo fella Pace “ takes 5 minutes The stop is 2km or 1.2 miles from the station. You can walk or take a local bus €3 cash only Face covering KN95/FFP2 to be warn on local transport 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a specific email for the dining room? rcldining@rcl.com Include your booking reference number of guests table size preference ( say if you’re a party of four you require a for top and so on ) plus early or late sitting I also include stateroom numbers but probably not necessary. By doing this we’ve never had a problem. Suggest you email about 10 to 14 days before you cruise no earlier. They acknowledge and confirm details with you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree although at least with Wonder there are more places for scenery like the Vue Bar. Even inside the ship, the Mason Jar has great views.

If you are in a balcony cabin, is your bed near the bath or near the balcony. Thank you The balcony cabins alternate the bed beside the balcony or the bathroom. The general rule is usually to find the closest connecting cabin and imagine you're standing outside the cabin doors, the cabin on your right hand side will have the bed beside the balcony, and the one to the left hand side the bed will be beside the bathroom. I travel with a mobility scooter or a powered wheelchair (which I prefer to take), and if accessible cabins are not available, I can usually fit my scooter in a cabin, but its best if the bed is beside the balcony to allow the scooter to fit into the cabin, and this is the way I was told to work it out. I hope this helps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best place would probably be near the entrance either side of the Ultimate Abyss They do however have the traditional viewing platform wings either side of the solarium.

I've it a great place to watch the ocean on other ships. We were on the Oasis when the three "sisters" met up for a photo op off Ft. Lauderdale and were invited out to the heliport on the bow. I believe the access was on deck 4 starboard side and restricted most of the time to special invites only. Not sure how Wonder is set up, but I doubt you can just wander out to the bow.
