And we are off on an adventure. This experience is going to be great. Travel Agent inspection cruise on the largest cruise ship in the world. Royal Caribbean Wonder of the Seas!
In about an hour we will arrive in Port Canaveral. This is the future of the this type of cruising. Large mega ships.
From Wikipedia:
"Wonder of the Seas measures 1,188 feet (362 m) in length and has a gross tonnage of 236,857 across 18 decks. This ship accommodates 5,734 passengers at double occupancy, & up to a maximum capacity of 6,988 passengers, as well as a 2,300 crew. There are 16 decks for guest use, 20 restaurants, 4 pools and 2,867 cabins.[4]
Wonder of the Seas has eight different "neighborhoods", including an all new suite neighborhood.[7]
Facilities include a children's water park, a children's playground, a full-size basketball court, an ice-skating rink, a surf simulator, a zip line that is 10 decks high, a 1400-seat theater, an outdoor aquatic theater with 30-foot (9.1 m) high platforms, and two 43-foot (13 m) rock-climbing walls.[8][9][10][11][12]
As with all Oasis-class ships, one of the special features on board is the Central Park, which consists of over 10,000 real plants.[13]"
Did they say 10,00 living plants? Yes they did, inside the ship is an area called Central Park, it's an outdoor atrium inside the middle of the ship. A living wall hosts many of the plants. We will get pictures. More later today!
