Jake2357 Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Hello everyone! I have been reading all the blogs on here for a while so I figured it was my turn to give one back for everyone to read! We were originally booked on Harmony in the Villa Suite, but the ship was changed to Wonder (which IS exciting). Only problem was that there is no Villa Suite on Wonder so we were moved into the Ultimate Family Suite. I am SUPER excited as this will be our first time in Star Class, but there is a lot of uncertainty for me around this suite. The layout of it onboard wonder is unknown (to me at least) and since we were expecting to have 4 bedrooms and bathrooms, we will need to do a little bit of rearranging where people will sleep. I am looking forward to everyone following along and excited of course for another cruise!

AspiringCruisePlanner Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 @AlmondFarmer guess I was right! Hopefully the rearrangement works out for your party. I saw this bed configuration on Royal's deck plan and am wondering how it's all going to be arranged. Beds Two King size beds Four twin size bunk beds Double pull out sofa bed Wonder's definitely looks bigger than the Symphony UFS but not as big as the Spectrum one. IMO, the Spectrum UFS is the best suite in the fleet. https://youtu.be/p01kCylEQZs CravingaCruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been bummed out to have been put in 4 jr suites instead of the VS. I saw the deck plan also. Totally agree that Spectrum UFS is the best. Symphony of the seas has one king size bed, two twin size bunk beds, and a double pull out sofa. The square footage listed is 1134 inside and 212 outside. The wonder of the seas deck plan has those exact same numbers listed which makes me think they just copied them over and it’s not actually correct since the wonder Ultimate family suite has TWO king sized bed, FOUR twin size bunk beds, and a double pull out sofa. That’s a lot more beds which seems impossible to fit into the same space. Just some things I noticed CravingaCruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like they might give you more details so you can decide whether the assignment is going to work for you. CravingaCruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 If you watch towards the end of this, Captain Kate has some video of it in construction. Makes the UFS look a whole lot bigger than the one on Symphony. AspiringCruisePlanner, Jake2357 and CravingaCruise 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very hard to get anyone at Royal on the phone. If only there was a star class phone number LOL CravingaCruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish she gave more of a tour so we could see the configuration of the room. That royal loft is looking great too though!

Yea this confused me also. They clearly updated the deck plan to show the new bed configuration. But it should add it up to 10 when they list 9. They also did not update the square footage numbers and just copied them over from Symphony. I’m just so eager to find out any information because I’m so excited!!

DrNDo Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Kind of preferred the aft facing view of the one on Symphony. It was more entertaining for people watching being able to see the zip lines, flow rider and glimpses of the aqua theater. More privacy with the location on the Wonder. Close to the elevators in its own corner section of deck 18. Lots of noise bleed from the pool deck, but being able to hear the music made it lively I guess. sammy79, WAAAYTOOO and CravingaCruise 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
