I stayed in a $13,000 suite on Royal Caribbean's newest cruise ship

I spent six nights in a two-bedroom AquaTheater suite on the Wonder of the Seas to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Here's what you get for the price of one of the top suites on this new cruise ship!

This is the ONLY cabin I book when I cruise...then I wake up.

Don't think I could justify spending 13k on a vacation unless I made over 350k a year. All the extras (excursions, tips, shopping, dining etc) would push it over 16k easy.

People need to stop worrying about what other people do with their money. Very cool that you got to experience an awesome suite!

We usually book grand suite - there are extras with that which add up to value for us (preferred seating at dinner, little “extras” from the concierge such as bridge tours, wine and chocolates delivered to the room, reserved seating around pool)…but most importantly, the concierge lounge. Pro tip: the drinks served in the lounge are included. It’s definitely another level up from regular rooms.

Just wanted to say that I truly appreciate and enjoy the content from Matt and Royal Caribbean Blog. So informative and always puts me in a good mood.

We have a 2 bdrm aqua suite on “Wonder” coming up in Sept. We are celebrating a couple of milestones as retirees, and happy to have the ability to have these levels of vacations. We also booked a cabana at Cocoa Beach on the private island, Cocoa Cay. Long time cruisers however, first time with RCCL. Thanks for the great videos and info Matt!

I love the Royal Genie!!
That definitely would take away a lot of stress if you’re trying to max out your vacation and you just want to be super intentional and not have to think about anything. It would be like taking your travel agent on your cruise with you and have them take care of everything.
I did the math and I think that’s a great deal. Now for someone who Hass to be very frugal I still couldn’t afford it, but it’s a great deal for someone who could. One day I would hope to be able to. But when you see everything that’s included, it’s an amazing bundle.

I've been waiting for you to have the opportunity to showcase this content! Glad you splurged! Maybe some tax day I'll book one for our family too! Thanks Matt!

My sister and I stayed in a loft suite on Oasis before they introduced Star Class. It was amazing and so beautiful. Too bad our cruise was shortened to 4 nights due to a hurricane. Our first requests getting onboard were for a hot shower and air conditioning. Neither of us had either at our homes. Thank you for bringing back a great memory from 2017. 😊

How Sad! No one can say! How nice did you enjoy it! I would have! Yes for all ! Thanks for the pictures!🎉❤

[bryanchandler]

I have tried for years to get on a cruise. I hope to be able to afford one some day. I really enjoy these videos. Matt you do an awesome job with all your video's

[quintellaherrington]

I ty for such an open honest video. My husband and I have this on our bucket list. We work 10 hrs a day and we're gonna treat ourselves one year soon! TY

Can't say I've ever had the luxury of a suite of any kind. I've been on 5 Royal cruises in my life (Majesty, Grandeur, Voyager, Freedom x2 in that order). The first four cruises were in interior rooms, and the 5th was in a standard balcony room. I thought I was "living large" just being in an interior room. I was totally blown away when I finally had the opportunity to experience a balcony room. Can only imagine what suite categories are like, hence why I like seeing videos on different types of cabin categories, regardless of cruise line.

[abrowngreen]

The two bedrooms and two bathrooms make it all worth it. Obviously it is a luxury and it seems crazy to pay it, but once you do it’s hard to go back to normal suites

[IamHerbie]

You definitely pulled a great deal! well done. I felt you needed to explain yourself, but brother, you have nothing to explain! I am just glad you had a brilliant time and thank you for sharing your experience!

[lindasullivan]

Going on the Allure in star class aqua suite in April. First cruise once in a lifetime opportunity. Someone cancelled in the group and I jumped in for a great price. 4 cousins sharing the suite. Can’t wait to experience this type of luxury. Might be out of my element but it will be fun to be treated like a queen for a week 🤣

[nicolelarochelle]

Omg we were on the same cruise in a jr suite celebrating my bff's big 4-0! Wish we had known you were there!

We love the 2bedroom Aqua theater suites and Royal Genie!
Our first experience was in 2017 on the Oasis.
Our 2nd was this past May out of Barcelona… like Matt we were originally booked on the Allure… then Royal changed the ships out and honored the cabin and price!
We had booked it at quite a bargain.. so to have it on the Wonder instead was amazing.
A couple of tips.. if you enjoy speciality restaurants, internet and drink package think about the cost of those per person for the week… approximately $1000 each adult. Add that to the cost of a basic cabin and see if you could “win” by booking the Genie cabin and experience!!

[TheMaxRebo]

This looks like an amazing experience and for some could definitely be worth it. I think I have the wrong mentality for maximizing it as I would always thing "nah, I don't want to bother my Genie" lol

[KissesFromCanada]

I was gifted a 21 day Seabourn cruise once, in an owner’s suite. It was $1k per person, per day (for 2). Worth it if you can afford it. This suite, for 4 people, looks like good value…if you have $13k to spare ;)
