Just got off the Wonder yesterday. It was our first time on one of the smaller ships. The first day and a half, I think my daughter was a little disappointed by the Wonder. We had just been on the Dream last month and on the Fantasy and Dream previously. By the end of the 2nd day, she was in love with the Wonder and was extremely sad to leave yesterday. Due to its smaller size, she was able to more easily explore on her own, made some great friends, and had some incredible experiences. I feel like interactions with the cast members were much better, the addition of Tiana's was nice, the ship was in fantastic shape, everything looked great, the shows were excellent, I found the food to be good, some of my tablemates did not (I think it was what they kept ordering though), the pools were much less crowded than on the bigger ships, lines were shorter for everything, I liked the pirate show better, they had a sectioned off area for kids for the deck shows which was really nice, the elevators were smaller but never as long of a wait or as extremely crowded, etc., etc. I could go on and on. I am already looking to book another trip on the Wonder in the future. I guess, as with anything, it's all about how you approach it and what your expectations are going in.
