Eight neighborhoods

Also on deck are signature experiences like The Ultimate Abyss, the tallest slide at sea; the FlowRider surf simulator; rock-climbing walls; and the Central Park neighborhood lined with more than 20,000 real plants.

Back to Europe in May then home to Canaveral in November

Wonder of the Seas will first sail seven-night cruises to the Caribbean and Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas before redeploying to Barcelona and Civitavecchia (Rome) in May for the summer season.

In November, Wonder heads back to Florida and its year-round home, Port Canaveral.
