Am I crazy? Book Mariner instead of Wonder.

I really liked Playmakers on it.  I thought the location over the Seaplex was the best location on any ship.  

I really like Oasis where it’s located on the Boardwalk.

As long the burger tastes like my last 2 on Indy and they make the Goalpost Margarita and The Pitch well, I don't really care where it is. 🤣

I felt Wonder had busy moments sometimes, but wouldn’t describe it as too crowded overall. Always found a seat everywhere we went. We had memorable times at a couple bars all to ourselves and chatted with a friendly bartender who recommended his favorite drinks to us. Enjoyed late dinners uncrowded. Can’t wait to get back on Wonder.

We were on Wonder in early March.  Probably a bad choice on our part.  There were 7000 passengers onboard.  We are pretty good at avoiding crowds at meals.  We never ate in the MDR for dinner.  We only ate at Windjammer after the lunch or dinner rush.  We ate in Coastal Kitchen 4 nights and had specialty dining for lunch and dinner a couple of times.  We ate breakfast several times at El Loco Fresh which was great until it was "discovered" mid-week.  We were able to reserve all of the shows we wanted before the cruise and had priority seating, so no real problem there.  We also stay on the ship during port stops most of the time and enjoy the quiet.  We aren't new to Oasis class, but the level of crowds on this cruise was just mind boggling.  It was a slog trying to get from one area of the ship to another.  Everyone was nice and kids were mostly well behaved, it was just too many people in a confined space.  We are retired and can cruise whenever we want.  We will be more aware of busy times in the future.

I like Oasis too.  What I liked the most about Odyssey was sitting at the railing overlooking the sports court and watching the sports on the massive big screen.

I'm tempted for Bella2.  Problem is we have my wife's birthday cruise in March.  I'm not sure I can swing both yet.  

We have our rock and romance music charter in March , no way we can miss that fantastic lineup .
