Pooch Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 How does it work? Do you get something from each category? Are some categories appetizers and others entrees? How do you decipher the items? Trying to decide if hubby will go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 We tried almost everything - the waiter was very knowledgeable and made a few suggestions, but we went through all the appetizers and most of the entrees, as well as all the desserts.

Ampurp85 Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 It depends on the party size. You can generally order all the apps and desserts, but some ships will limit you on the mains. If it is your first time, the server may just bring you out everything they like. Pooch and CharmMicah68 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted December 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Expect to be a party of 7 adults if I can get everyone to agree on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barjpoe Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Course you go to get The World. Its a dessert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxrunner Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 We have only been once and it was WONDERFUL. We declared right off that it was our 1st time, the server said I will bring out mostly everything. Royal seems to have included some of the tiny entrees (liquid lobster) as part of the meal. We left happy and full. With a party of 7 are they all adventurous dinners? If not I think a different choice may be more palatable.

Swar Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Let me count the ways I hate Wonderland. lol Food is subpar, presentation is weak, not filling, not edible and not fun. I would love a Hooked, Mason Jar, or Playmakers to replace Wonderland on every ship. Tried Wonderland on two ships and was very disappointed both times.

AlmondFarmer Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Please close Wonderland! -the guy who dresses up as the Mad Hatter every night and cries himself to sleep. Swar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxrunner Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Maybe as someone that has only been on a few cruises, Wonderland was a cool experience. Pooch from the responses above it isn't for everyone. I'd give it a try and see what you think. The food presentation and show is part of the thing here. I can see a few tablemates not appreciating it and being wet blankets. Maybe it would be better as a date night for you and Mr. Pooch?

Ampurp85 Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 Wonderland is not for everyone; I think the food is meh but often the experience and drinks make up for everything. Now my experience and opinions are tainted because I don't eat seafood and a lot of the offerings are seafood. However, I sail Oasis in Jan with the UDP and have planned Wonderland as our first dinner of the week. Once a sailing with the UDP is my limit.

He’s the least adventurous eater of the bunch and the one I’m most concerned about. Not sure he’d appreciate the show either. It’s my daughter who really wants to go.

DJsMrs Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 My husband and I avoided wonderland for the longest time, until we couldn't cruise, and then our first sailing back after Covid I said "we're doing everything we can just in case the shut this all down again". Wonderland was on that list. I should preface this with the fact that we are adventurous eaters, have travelled a fair amount, and we've exposed ourselves to a lot of very different foods and love trying new things. Wonderland looked to kitchy for us and too gimmicky. And I seriously wondered about that weird Mad Hatter - Joke was on us - we really enjoyed it. I mean, take it for what it is and don't take it too seriously - but the food was interesting, and most of it was delicious... but just doing something different and eating something we typically wouldn't eat on land was the appeal for us. Textures were different,flavours were unexpected and a bit surprising - but not in a bad way. We've been back twice since then and always go when we're on a ship that has a Wonderland. Give it a try. Worst thing that happens is you didn't like it. Best thing is you have a fun night with friends trying something new! Either way you'll have something to talk about. foxrunner and Xaa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so wish to have your cruise confusion. While I am jealous of your cruising frequency, I enjoy viewing your cruises through the lens of your live blogs. Looking forward to your Wonderland visit.
