Happy weekend! We hope you remembered to Spring Forward! Here’s all the Royal Caribbean news this week!
The big news this week is all about the biggest cruise ship in the world.
Wonder of the Seas set sail on her maiden voyage from Port Everglades, and that gave all of us our first peek at what this new ship is all about.
Wonder of the Seas has eight neighborhoods, has capacity for 6,988 guests and 2,300 crew members, and features the "tallest slide at sea," as well as a 10-deck-high zip line and a huge poolside movie screen.
We sailed on Wonder of the Seas to share with you a look at what it's like onboard.
Short cruises on Oasis Class cruise ship will be offered for the first time
Royal Caribbean will soon offer 3- and 4-night cruises on an Oasis Class cruise ship for the first time ever.
Allure of the Seas will begin offering short sailings in late 2023 instead of 7-night cruises.
Traditionally, Oasis Class ships sail 7-night cruises. These are the biggest cruise ships in the world, and by offering so much to see and do onboard, Royal Caribbean always sailed them on the longer sailings.

Interesting facts you might not know about Wonder of the Seas
In-between all the buzz about the largest cruise ship in the world, there are a few changes and tweaks Royal Caribbean has made.
While these may not be the "I can't believe they did that" type of changes, I thought these were interesting enough to share for someone that goes on Wonder of the Seas soon to know about.
Certificate of Covid recovery option now available for pre-cruise test
As a backup in case someone continues to test positive well after symptoms subside and isolation protocols are followed, Royal Caribbean will accept a certificate of Covid-19 recovery.
Guests sailing out of these ports will now have the option to submit a Certificate of Recovery if they have had Covid-19 at least 11 days before sailing, however, some restrictions do apply.
