Some of you might remember my last live blog from the Symphony TA. We were so happy with this cruise that we decided there and then to do the Oasis 5 TA. Unfortunately Royal announced Wonder would be going to Asia, so no TA. Instead, we booked an Eastern Med cruise on Odyssey for 2021. And then Covid happened. Odyssey was first relocated to Israel and afterwards to the US, our cruise was cancelled. We used Lift & Shift to protect our price for an Eastern Med cruise on Odyssey in 2022 – thinking Covid would be over by then. Well, how wrong you can be… In April we finally gave up on that cruise as neither Italy, nor Greece or Israel were showing any signs of stopping the craziness. As Germans can only book with non refundable deposits, we were looking for alternatives – and stumbled upon the Wonder TA. So four years after our first Royal cruise, it’s finally happening again – and it’s the cruise we wanted all along!
 
Here are the basics of this trip:
Travelling will be me (Kerstin, 39f) and hubby Michael (38m). We’re in 7310, an Ocean View Balcony. Funny enough, this will be first time ever we’ll be in a Balcony, we’re usually Interior people but got the opportunity to jump from Interior Virtual Balcony to GTY Ocean View Balcony for a steal price of 27 €. We have purchased UDP, DBP and Voom Surf & Stream.
This cruise brings us from Barcelona via Palma de Mallorca, Valencia, Cartagena, Malaga and Nassau to Port Canaveral. We have planned nothing for the port days. If we’re in the mood we’ll just get off the ship and walk around town, if not, we’ll just stay on board and enjoy the empty ship.
Saturday will be a loooong day. Drop the 5 cats at the cat hotel at 8 am, drop the dog at the kennel at 11 am, take Covid tests and drive to Munich airport for our 8.55 pm flight to Barcelona. We’ll be arriving at 11.05 pm and have chosen the Alexandre Hotel Frontair Congress because they offer a shuttle and it isn’t far from the airport. Our boarding time is 10 am on Sunday which leaves us no time to do anything in Barcelona, but been there, done that… For disembarkation in Port Canaveral we’ve rented a car and will be spending a week in Florida essentially doing a road trip.
 
Last but not least, time to introduce the only good thing that came out of Covid (apart from this cruise of course 😆) – our newest addition to the family. This is Ronnie on our summer trip to Sweden with the RV. He’s a Romanian rescue dog of unknown breeding, history and age (approximates say 2 to 4 years). Thanks to Covid we can now mostly work from home and have enough time to do him justice. Even without Covid restrictions we’re only required to meet in the office once a month so it’s easy to make sure he’s not home alone. Only hard thing will be not seeing him for three weeks 😭 The cats are used to spending their vacation at the cat hotel, but we take Ronnie with us on our RV trips. He has been practicing by staying at the kennel for a few days twice so I’m sure he’ll be fine.
 

So in the spirit of live blogging, feel free to ask questions and I’ll do my best to answer them, take pictures and keep this as ‘live’ as the DBP allows 🤣

Haha, didn't even realize it, I'm just so used to seeing him with the neon yellow leash. Unfortunately he can't be off leash because he LOVES hunting everything from mice to birds, rabbits and deer. Lucky for us he dearly loves his feline brothers.

Same with me. It took a minute to figure it out

I am not going to lie........I thought that was a picture of Ronnie peeing.
Have a wonderful time on this TA. I look forward to your blog.

Seems the title was classic click bait so people would read the post. Strange axe to grind but everyone is entitled to their opinions. Other fun tags to get your post viewed next time "Royal Caribbean going out of Business" or "Coco Cay suffers the fate of Atlantis and sinks beneath the waves."

You can do Split and Dubrovnik on your own. Uber from the port to the city centre, both are very walkable and easy to navigate. Most interesting sights are within the city walls. In Dubrovnik you can take a stroll on the city wall, the route along the sea has beautiful views. Just bear in mind that it's quite a few steps and expensive. We did it in autumn of 2020 when there weren't a lot of tourist arounds so it was worth it. Might be different if the city is full of tourists and you're shuffled around the wall in a long queue.

Bit envious of the Brits right now. There hasn't been any promotion for drinks, dining or internet since we booked the TA in April. Guess Royal doesn't care much about the German market.

When you are dining in Giovannis you can always ask your server if you could get it.  Most servers will try and do whatever they can for you. I had asked for a cocktail that was not on the menu and they did get me the drink.  It was on the old menu but not on Wonder of the Seas Giovanni's menu anymore.

Thanks for the information. Then I'll just have to pay for the fried lasagna I'm planning to try 🙂 

Giovanni's Wine Bar Menu is not included in the UDP on Wonder.

Awesome tips, thank you! I'm a sucker for milk shakes, had no idea Mason Jar had some. We have the DBP for this sailing so we'll have to try those.

We did have a Genie for our Wonder cruise, so we were able to experience it all.  Fortunately with a TA, you'll at leave have more days to hopefully get a chance to try everything. One tip for Mason Jar is that they will let you order food from the full menu at the bar during dining hours, so if you can't get a reservation you can still have a chance to try it.  Also there are some spiked milkshake dessert drinks that the Deluxe Beverage Package covers that are fun to try. A lot of folks miss out on those because they're on the dessert menu so you don't really see or think about them until after you are stuffed full of food!

Thank you so much Ashley! Guess this would be a cruise where a Genie is a godsend. Well, I'll just have to preplan and then start making reservations for entertainment and dining as soon as I have ship's WIFI. Getting really excited about this cruise 🙂 

You can make reservations for lunch in the app just like you can for dinner.
Yes, brunch is included. You SHOULD make reservations for brunch. Mason Jar is the newbie and seems to have the largest demand, so that's the one I'd make sure to grab a reservation for brunch and dinner at as soon as you board.  
Izumi you get a $35 allowance per VISIT. You get $20 for Playmakers per VISIT.
If you're talking about the small food menu, Mason Jar late night bar menu was included. I'd assume it has the $20 ala carte limit with the package. I'm not sure about the Giovanni's Wine Bar food menu. I know on other ships that have the tapas menu in Vintages, that's not included. There's no harm in asking, so if you do report back what they tell you!
Nope. Oasis class ships do not have food in the Pub.

We were native Floridians until we retired and moved to TN.  Remember that FL is a LONG state and a trip going north or south could be hours. Going east and west not too long. From Cape Canaveral to Key West will be a 6-8 hour trip depending on traffic in the area from West Palm to Miami (plus stops).  Cape Canaveral to St. Petersburg/Clearwater area 2-3 hours.
St. Augustine as some have mentioned. Do the "Red Train" or similar to see the sights in St. Aug. If you want beaches, pretty much any coastal town/city will have nice beaches and public use areas. East coast has tan/brown sand that is somewhat course, heavier surf.  West coast has white sand that is fine grain and less surf.
St Augustine with a Jacksonville swing to see the Jags is easy. Tickets to the Jags should be easy too.  Dolphins and Bucs will be a harder ticket to get.

Lido Beach, gorgeous area on the Gulf. Ringling Brothers Museum and grounds is a great day. St. Armand's circle steps from the beach, a very nice place to stop for a day or two. We stay at Lido Beach Resort. The Gulf waters are gorgeous and the beach is huge.

Visit Florida is the official travel site. They would have itineraries that meet your needs. They also have a website called Florida Vacation Auction where you can get some really good travel deals. 
 
I am a native Floridian.  There are a lot of places that are very different than the road more commonly traveled.  Have fun! 
BTW, Buc'ees is really weird. Good brisket and kolaches. 

We did Tallinn without a tour. We took a taxi to the Alexander-Newski-Cathedral first thing in the morning before the Hop on Hop off bus even starts. The taxis wait at the end of the pier. That way you beat the crowds and spare yourself from hiking the hill up to the cathedral. You then walk down the Pikk Jalg into the city centre which is easily walkable. After walking around and having lunch we took the Hop on Hop off bus to see a bit more of the city. Bonus point: the bus drops you off at the pier.
