In all honesty I think these games are all great on other ships but Wonder didn't have too many games that would let you win on small bets. I usually have my goal in mind and start out at higher spins. But then I play smaller bets after because I enjoy gambling. Dancing drums and Prosperity has smaller bets and they usually pay out okay.  I would say if you could get a seat at the Little shop of Horrors game and any of the ones you listed, you might do alright. But my week could have been an off week, but it seems like if you aren't playing high, you weren't winning and even playing high wasn't winning. 

I was just on Wonder in Jan. All three slots are there but they really aren't low volatility. I normally play Red Hot Triple 7s and have done well in the past. But the payout was nonexistent on Wonder. I echo that if you don't enjoy gambling, it is not going to be worth it. 

I was on Wonder for Thanksgiving and recall seeing all three machines that you mentioned.  Good luck. The road to any significant comp is not cheap and if you are not a gambler/ enjoy gambling then this plan is not advised. 

This will be my first time on this sailing but any bar is my favorite bar until I run out of free drink vouchers.

After further thinking about this topic I am going to let this one die.

Thanks for the feedback. This is what I am basically looking for in that you did increase your budget to continue sailing at the same current pace.

This is part 2 for my wife and I. We are also on the sailing right before this so this will be or first back to back sailing and first time on Allure.

Thanks for letting me know this for that changes everything now. Yup, will definitely have to give Star Class a try one of these days. May have to take a break a from cruising for a year to save up the money to get a suite like @EZ Life has.

You can definitely have any kind of drinks delivered to your room.  What you canNOT have is bottles of liquor delivered.  It is one of those rules that really makes no sense, but it is what it is.  You can order any number of margaritas or Kraken Lava Flows or Mud Slides or anything else you might want....and it will be delivered (not by the Genie but by someone else) or wine by the glass...just no bottles.  Stupid.

Yes, yes it is.
Thanks @AshleyDillo for correcting the title.

WOW !  That's a long cruise - 1 year and 6 days.  😝

I am just returning from a cruise where unfortunately I ran into my first negative passenger.  I have been sailing on Royal now for 7 sailings and have never had any issues with any other passengers. I have bumped into people that were drunk and we simply looked at each other apologized and moved on down the road. When I go up to a bar before I look around and ask if anyone was waiting for I did not want to cut the line. Anyways I have never had any issues with anyone drunk or sober on a cruise. I always try and be polite and ensure that I am following good etiquette when in a crowd of people.
Here is what took place on my last full day on my recent cruise. I was waiting in line at the Windjammer to grab myself a lunch hamburger and as we all know that section of the buffet is always crowded. Anyways, this older guy come walking up to the buns jumping the line ahead of everyone including pushing two children out of the way that I would say were around 10 or 12 years old. I look the guy in the face and asked him if he "was to good to wait in line like the rest of of us". He responds to me very sarcastically that he was and to "bite me". Now I know that I should not have said anything at all but cutting the line while pushing some kids out the way just rubbed me the wrong way. I responded back for him to simply move on and even called him sir. He turns around and I see him go to the end of the bar and call over the cook ask him for a fresh burger stopping the cook from finishing his job of restocking the burgers on the buffet. I ignore the guy and finish making my burger and ensured that I did not even in his general direction for to me this issue was over. I finished my round around all the buffets and then start to make my way to the table that my wife and friends were sitting at. On my way to the table I see the douchebag headed toward me and as he passes me smarts off again at me stating for me to go and do you know what with myself. Well that was all that it took to get my adrenaline pumping again. I stop and look at him and basically told him not to let his mouth write checks that his ass could not cash. Except that there were a couple of F-bombs dropped in there along with a few other choice words. It was at this point I guess the guy was getting nervous for he could tell I was pissed. I am in my late 40s and have been lifting weights for about the past 10 years so if I had to guess on this particular cruise I would have considered myself easily in the top 10% of the physically fit on board. The douchebag I would say was in his 60s or a little older but due to his all white head it was hard to really say his age. Getting back to my situation after basically stating that if he wanted a go I was down with, he then asks me if I want him to call security to which I responded "Yes, please do!" He then responds to me that "I live on this ship" and that basically security would side with him. I then told him that I did not care that he lived on the ship. After this exchange of words we stare at each other and after a moment and with nothing being said I turned around and continued to my table.
After this exchange took place I realized that this guy actually thinks that he is entitled to special privileges because he lives on the ship and should get special treatment. Unfortunately after this exchange I was no longer in the mood to enjoy my last day on the ship and went back to my room. I felt very frustrated with myself after reviewing this encounter over in my head for I did initiate this situation for making a comment when he jumped in line ahead of everyone else. Then what also frustrated me even more was that he actually believed that he deserved special treatment because he lived on the ship. Just to clarify the guy was not Mario.
Now my question to everyone here is if someone lives on a ship should they get special privileges over those that do not? As anyone can easily guess I do not care if someone lives on a ship or not and that they need to follow the same basic rules of etiquette that the rest of the passengers are following.

Some people feel entitled no matter the location or situation. If he did "live" on the ship, he should have been even more considerate than your normal passenger. My mantra is - treat others how you want to be treated.

Stop letting these people rent space in your head. 
Life is to short. 
Be like Ariel.

This guy is a jerk wad. Chalk it up to that and don’t think further into it. No matter where you go and what you do, some people are just going to be douch nozzles and this guy was obviously born one. I don’t think his claim of living on the ship shaped his behavior one bit.

Rude people exist everywhere in life.  There are more people who are frequent cruisers who don't behave in this manner but you never notice them because they don't act this way.     
Don't assume he is an indication of other people who "live on the ship" for months at a time.  He is a jerk on the ship and most likely off the ship back at home too.  This is on him.  End of story.  

Wow, someone else actually has a higher drink package then I do.

Great the one time I do not want win a contest and what happens I win.
For some reason all my cruises are right around the same $84 mark no matter how close or how far out the cruise is booked. 

Well so far my my luck of having the highest package continues. Gee, what great luck I have. 🙄

With the price of the drink packages going up I wanted to see who has the highest price. Here is mine for a 4 night on Allure for November next year
 

 
Can anyone beat this? It seems that I am always the lucky one and have to always pay top dollar for the drink package no matter how far out my sailing is.
