I spent $60 to eat at Royal Caribbean’s most bizarre restaurant
Royal Caribbean describes Wonderland specialty restaurant as "whimsical", and that's certainly an appropriate name for it.
Elizabeth tried Wonderland for the first time while onboard Symphony of the Seas, and everything about the experience exceeded her expectations.
The decor is loosely based on the magical word of Alice and Wonderland. It makes it so that the entire experience is immersive; it is not just about the food.
The surprising things when you sail on a cruise ship for a month at a time
Greg Brockman takes multiple cruises in a row to the point he will stay aboard a cruise ship for months at a time.
He's done six back-to-back cruises on 3- and 4-night sailings of Freedom of the Seas, as well as four back-to-back sailings on 6- and 8-night voyages on Explorer of the Seas in 2022. That represents 4 weeks of cruising at a time.
With that many cruises at once, Greg has a lot experience with not only what Royal Caribbean has to offer, but sees what his fellow passengers do. It gives him an unique perspective on do's and don'ts of cruises.
We tried different cruise ship cabins to see how they compared
We booked every type of cabin on our recent Royal Caribbean cruise to see the differences among them.
Sailing on Liberty of the Seas, our team tested out 9 different staterooms to get a sense of how each compared.
These cabins ranged in price from $670 to over $2600, and we wanted to look at the advantages, disadvantages, and overall experience each team member had in their cabin to see which cabins were worth it—and which we’d skip next time.
