@YouthD we found them very useful. For 5 dollars to not have to carry around your Seapass card, WOW band wear like a watch, and to be able to pay for anything on the ship, get into your room, incredibly easy to justify. I wouldn't want them to allow you off the ship, in case there were issues trying to get back on board, I would want the Seapass along with ID/passport. But for everything else they worked just fine. Hoping they bring them back soon.

Thank you for that Info @YellowBrickRoad

Yes that is basically all you are receiving in return for the JR vs OVB is the Points, along with these other perks, Sea class Dinner at Coastal Kiten based on availability Plush bathrobes for use onboard Luxury Pillow Top Mattress Luxury Bathroom Amenities Lavazza Expresso Coffee Machine So its really a call if you can justify the cost for those additions, My personal 2 cents would be yes for the fact of Moving up to Diamond. Enjoy the Cruise planning!!

Also does anyone have access to book much of anything on the Website yet for this cruise? Looking to book the Unlimited Drinks package and a dining package, and I see that the email I received from Royal Caribbean has it at 20% off right now. It will not allow anything to be booked? "Sorry, we can not reserve this right now, Please try again onboard the ship". I understand we are 9 months out and this is a new ship, but we also sailed 2 months after the Symphony was released and booked a year in advance and were able to access all the reservations. Also both my wife and I are unable to proceed anywhere on the Mobile app yet. All that comes up when we click on the Linked sailing is a message stating "We're working on the fun" Check back later for more details. We can't even make it to the home screen of the ship and the ability to look at the deck plans.

This is our 3rd Oasis class ship(Symphony and Oasis). Only cruised with Royal. Excited to see the Eastern Caribbean more this time.

Welcome all to the Sailing. Let us know where you are from and if this is your 1st sailing on Royal, 1st Oasis class, 1st Wonder.

Good Morning all from the cold Midwest of North Dakota. We are set to sail on Wonder Of the Seas on January 7th 23. Have seen some posts places that WOW bands are not being sold on the ships yet after the restart, but you can bring your old one and they will activate it. Anyone sailing now that can ask when theses will make a return? Thank you all.

Anyone have an update or on a cruise right now to ask the question as to when the bands will return?
