Cast of Characters: me, TK, Addie, Jax, Mom, Dad, Uncle George, and Aunt Rosie

Setting: At sea on the Wonder of the Seas

Day 2

We woke up, connected with my parents, and headed to breakfast. Luckily, Uncle George and Aunt Rosie were already on line and we were seated within five minutes. 

Morning Mimosa

For my full review of breakfast in the Main Dining Room, visit Yumness. I ordered a Parfait, Mimosa, and Eggs Benedict. The waiter brought Addie a chocolate donut because she wanted to only eat chocolate. 

After breakfast, we headed up to the pool deck and watched Tk and Jax go down the Perfect Storm waterslides. We finally found some chaise lounges on the windy top deck and split up to let everyone do what they wanted. I went down the Supercell slide with Jax, TK took Addie to the pool, and everyone else lounged. When Jax and Uncle George were done sliding, we went up to lay out in the sun. TK and I went to get towels and drinks. It was too windy so Addie and Jax got ice cream all over the place.

We hung out for a little bit and then headed into Hooked for lunch, but they wouldn't seat us because we didn't have a reservation. I was told that we didn't need reservations for lunch, but it seemed that we did. The manager came out and let us know that he would be able to accommodate us after a few minutes. 

Lobster Roll from Hooked

For my full review of lunch at Hooked, visit Yumness. It was tasty and the waiter was kind enough to cut Addie's steak for her, even though she didn't eat it. 

After lunch, the kids wanted to go back to Adventure Ocean and my parents went to the casino. TK and I spent some time in the Solarium and enjoyed a couple drinks, but it was kind of hot in there. We scooped up the kids and got ready for dinner at the Mason Jar.

We had reservations for the aqua show that night, so after dinner we went to grab our seats. The show was awesome and featured a bunch of badass women. We all loved it. Then, we took some family photos because our outfits matched and then we went our separate ways. 

Everyone went to the casino and I took the kids to the shops before going back to the room to snuggle and get in bed. 

Trip Report: Royal Caribbean Wonder of the Seas - Day 1

Cast of Characters: me, TK (husband), Jax (9), and Addie (6), mom, dad, Uncle George, and Aunt Rosie

Setting: Port Canaveral, Fla., and at sea

Day 1

After a difficult night, because Addie was nervous and projected how nervous she was all over her bed and sheets, we were up early and headed to my parents' house to drive over to Port Canaveral. We hit the road after packing the car and it took us about one hour and 10 minutes to get there. We decided to get breakfast at IHOP in Port Canaveral and then headed over to the port. 

We drove up and dropped off our bags to the porter, parked, and then checked in for our cruise about an hour early. It was a breeze. When we walked on Wonder of the Seas, I was able to make most of our dining reservations and then we went up a few floors to make a reservation at Izumi, the sushi and hibachi restaurant, but they didn't have anything before 9 p.m. so we skipped it. Then, we visited the Main Dining Room on the fourth floor to see where our table would be and then up to the 14th deck to sign the kids up for Adventure Ocean. 

We were done booking everything we had to at embarkation, so we got the kids some free ice cream cones at Sprinkles on the 15th deck and ordered ourselves pina coladas at the Lime and the Coconut bar. Unfortunately, we went to the wrong side and were in the smoking section of the ship. The Lime and the Coconut has a few locations throughout Wonder of the Seas, and the rest are nonsmoking. We took our drinks and cones and sat amongst the astronauts on the padded stadium seats. It was comfy and they were playing music, so I liked the vibe. 

Afterward, we grabbed a second drink and sat with my parents at a table for a little while before we decided to try out the Abyss slide. We walked right on and it was fun, but I got a little dizzy. We picked up our refillable soda cups that were included in our deluxe drinking package and checked to see if our rooms were ready. On the way, we heard that everyone could head to their rooms. 

We went to find our rooms and luggage, but we could only find five bags of our six. Of course, mine was the one missing. We put away our clothes and hung out in the room for an hour or so before dinner. I closed my eyes for two minutes and then got ready as much as I could without my toiletries or a change of clothes. Up on the 16th deck, we met our family at the Sail Away Party before dinner at Chops. We grabbed two drinks from the beverage cart. I got a Prosecco and TK got a Truly. The ship took too long to leave the port, so we headed to our dinner reservation before the ship started moving. 

Bone-In Rib Eye at Chops

For my full review of Chops on Wonder of the Seas, visit Yumness. I ordered Lobster Bisque, Ribeye, and a Cabernet Sauvignon. It was all delicious. 

Mississippi Moonlight at Mason Jar

Live Music at Mason Jar

After dinner, we dropped the kids off at Adventure Ocean so they could play with some other kids while we discovered the ship. TK and I headed over to the Mason Jar to sip on some drinks and rock on their comfy rocking chairs. Then, we picked up the kids and went to bed.
