August 17 – 24, 2025 – Royal Caribbean Wonder of the Seas Cruise

We woke up in the morning and made a plan to drop off our luggage at the cruise terminal, then return the rental car and walk back to the terminal.

The drop off went really well, and was super easy. Dropping the car off was equally easy. In fact, easier than we expected because there was a shuttle to the cruise terminal from the rental car company.

We got to the cruise terminal early, but was able to get checked in and board the ship. We tried going to the room, but it wasn’t ready yet. We headed to the karaoke club to pick up my soda package Coke Freestyle sipper. Over the course of the cruise, this thing would be a life saver.

We tried it out at Sorrento’s, where we found that on this ship (maybe all of them now), there was no more pasta salads, cold cuts, or anything. It was very sad. The pizza was good as always.

The rest of the cruise recap will be broken up into topics:

  • Food
  • Entertainment
  • Activities
