In a press release, Royal Caribbean shared that the ship will be sailing from its new homeport in Fort Lauderdale to the Caribbean starting from March 4, 2022 before moving onwards to Barcelona for its summer season in May.
President and CEO of Royal Caribbean Michael Bayley mentioned, “The momentum taking off across bookings and our returning ships in the U.S. and Europe is significant. With half of our fleet sailing again, we are encouraged by what we’re seeing. These regions are in the position to welcome a brand-new, innovative ship like Wonder of the Seas”
In the same release, Royal Caribbean also shared more details on the facilities onboard.
Wonder Playscape – Joining the lineup of next-level thrills for kids, the underwater-themed play area is a whole new adventure with slides, climbing walls, games, an interactive mural activated by touch and puzzles that will make them wonder if any playground will ever be the same.
The Vue – The happiest of happy hours can be found at this new cantilevered bar. The Vue offers panoramic ocean views from high above on the pool deck all day, and after sunset, it shines bright with a colorful mosaic canopy overhead.
Pool deck experience – The Lime & Coconut is at the center of the Caribbean vibes, with two poolside bars and live music; while the trio of high-speed waterslides, The Perfect Storm, and kids aqua park Splashaway Bay, keep the young and young at heart Casitas, in-pool loungers and more make for a variety of great places to kick back, especially to catch a movie under the stars at the largest poolside movie screen in the Royal Caribbean fleet.
As of now, Wonder of the Seas’ 2022 Hong Kong sailings are still available for sale, but in the meantime, this signifies a huge shift in focus for the cruise line. The new Caribbean sailings are now available for reservation today, and her Europe sailings will open on Wednesday, September 22.
