No suites on ANY European Wonder sailing :(

[spellman]

Looking at the European 2022 sailing for Wonder and there are zero suites available on ANY date in 2022.

 

I'm wondering if they are completely blocked for bookings that will be moved across from the previous ship?

Someone else noticed this and said on Wednesday, "Just had it confirmed by RC that the suites have not been released yet for Europe sailings as categories have yet to be confirmed, expected to be launched soon!"

Just passing along what they said.

My suite was switched today from Allure to Wonder. So the process is underway. Prior to ship change announcement, there was very limited suite inventory.

There are a lot more suites on Allure than Wonder, so they likely blocked them out until they can transfer everyone out.  If any inventory exists after the October 13th date, they'll likely be released for booking.

I thought that wonder had a whole section of the ship dedicated to suites?

She does.  However Allure has more suites than Wonder.  Until all the guest moves from Allure are complete they have blocked off all suites from new bookings.  

Once they confirm who is accepting their suite moves from Allure to Wonder they will open whatever is left to the general public.

They do have a whole section dedicated to passengers booked in Grand Suites and higher.  Even though this is an Oasis Class ship when you look at the deck plans you will notice from deck 6 through deck 14 there are no Grand Suites, no Owner Suites on any of those floors like you would find on every other Oasis Class ship.  Outside of Junior Suites the only suites you will find on decks 8-14  are Aqua Theater Suites, all other suites from Grand and higher are located on decks 17 and 18 on Wonder of the Seas.

I would suggest people look at the deck plans for Spectrum of the Seas (a Quantum Plus Class Ship) and compare her deck plans to Odyssey of the Seas another Quantum Plus Class Ship, the one thing you will notice is the placement of Grand suites (not the lofts the suite only) and the Owner Suites on Spectrum are all located on decks 15 and 16.  Again there are far fewer Grand and Owner suites on Spectrum than there are on any other Quantum class ship.

Keep in mind both of these ships were built for the Chinese market Spectrum went directly to China via the Suez Canal.   Wonder was supposed to go directly to China but for now China is not allowing cruising to resume.  Now because of everything going on the ship is coming to both North America and Europe, who knows when she will make her way over to China.  The deck plan layout is the reason I don't think Wonder will stay in the US/Europe, I think the moment China reopens and allows cruising to resume within a few months Royal will send her to China, she doesn't have enough suites to remain in the US/European market.

I spoke with a RC agent yesterday because our room was changed and they indicated that they will release any available suites on Oct. 21st which is the day after the final day Allure guests are allowed to cancel.

Still no suites available to book on any summer sailing..anyone have an updated news?

Last I heard they were still reassigning the Allure folks and the date was pushed back to November before they would be done. It's a difficult process as Wonder doesn't have the same exact suites and has less in total than Allure did, plus they do interporting over in Europe so you have overlapping cruise dates.
