Grand suite does look a little small though.

I agree with you.  The GS looks about the same size as a JS on the other ships.  On the other hand, the 1 BR ATS looks much larger than what I remember.

We have the 1 BR ATS and we’ve watched the videos and those don’t look like that one. New design maybe?

I wonder (pun intended).  It sure looks like it's a different layout than what we had on Harmony (I think) a number of years ago.  Of course, with all things ATS, the deck has a lot of to do with the size and layout of the suite.  But the pic above looks much larger than any of the 1 BR ATS I have seen.

You are correct the 1BR ATS on Wonder is actually bigger than then 1 BR ATS on other Oasis Class ships.  Wonder is showing the stateroom square footage at 605 sq. ft. whereas on other Oasis Class ships the stateroom is 562 sq. ft., also the balcony on Wonder is larger for the 1BR ATS at 626 sq. ft. verses 589 sq. ft. on other ships.

Looks like all the suites except for junior have been updated with the new renderings.

Is there a link to look at these rooms?  Thanks!

I just took a look at the deck plans and all the Grand Suite 1 bedrooms have been clustered around the suite lounge on Deck 17.

I'm not sure how to feel about that. On one hand - great for quick and easy access to the suite lounge/coastal kitchen but it's the second highest deck on the ship so you're quite removed from everything.

Definitely going to need to see what it looks like from a vlogger.

Also - square footage coming in at 371

All previous Oasis class deck plans give the same number. So, I think they just got rid of the tv separator thingy and kept the space more open a la the JRsuite style. The harmony/symphony/Quantum style cut the room up and made the individual areas feel really small especially considering the room is already about 20 sq feet smaller than the Freedom class GS

There aren't any "official" suite room photos yet except for these ones. These were the only pictures of suites I came across.

I have been looking at these today myself as some members in my family are going on the Wonder in March and are considering their RoyalUp offers now. I've noticed that there are some marked with an obscured balcony and if you try to book the GS class, they only have one price. It's not like you are taking a cheaper "obscured view" balcony rate (and it's not exactly cheap). Also look at the size of all the balconies in this section. From the deck plans they provide on the website, it appears there is a wide variety for size (and again... no difference in price that I was able to find between one of the bigger vs smaller balcony rooms). Just some thoughts to share!

This Cruise Critic thread has been following along since the beginning and they have some great photos from inside sources: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2407590-wonder-of-the-seas-blocks-are-in-the-house

Going to the link here .... then to pg 59 approx ... they show some pictures of the obscured view balcony GS 1700 .... something to think about I guess.

Didn't think this needed a new thread so I'm putting it here.

I'm not sure if someone found this already, but these are the vaccinated/unvaccinated areas on Wonder. "Golden Room" is listed here.

We don't know yet, but some people are saying it's a high roller casino.

Sure that was the original intent. Some sort of high roller enclave. Will be interesting if it has been modified to swing back to a music/lounge venue.

Going to be fun watching all the crew "leak" videos as the make the journey across the Atlantic.

I do agree they will probably change this venue for the US. Since the ship was originally planned for the Chinese market, it has many ultra-luxury features like the suite neighborhood (as seen on Spectrum of the Seas) and this high stakes gambling room.

Spectrum has the same Suite Neighborhood? Thought this was a first on Wonder?

Nope! Spectrum's "suite enclave" was Royal's first exclusive area/neighborhood only for suite guests. It seems like the Asian cruise market likes these private areas only for suite guests. Many cruise lines that operate out of Asia seem to have this concept as well. The solarium on Spectrum also isn't adults-only but rather suite-only.

Dropping the pics here for convenience sake.

Balcony certain seems larger and the obstruction is at least kind of pretty to look at instead of a life boat...

That looks small for a GS. I think JS are that big. In fact it looks like a JS.

Biggest challenge with this photo is not having an idea of what is behind the photographer. Not seeing any entry to a bathroom or if a counter exists distorts the perspective of the suite.

 

If you took the two sides of a Grand Suite in this picture (from Oasis) and stacked the on top of each other vs side to side.

The perspective starts making some sense. Keep in mind my picture was probably taken either right next to the counter or a few steps after it.

Adding in a picture of the foyer area on Oasis. Plus an idea of space taken by the bathroom.

If I had to guess based on deck plans. The Grand Suites are same size as the main level of a Crown Loft. Just keep in mind no staircase when trying to visualize.

--Correction, stock photowise the GS looks a tad wider than a CLS.
