I sailed on Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas. It’s the world’s largest — and this is why it’s my favorite cruise ship.

• I sailed on Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas in December of last year.
• The realistic Boardwalk was my favorite “neighborhood” on the massive cruise ship. 
• The vessel will be stripped of its “world’s largest cruise ship” title in 2024 by the Icon of the Seas.

A year has passed since I first sailed on Royal Caribbean’s massive Wonder of the Seas.

Since then, I’ve been on two luxurious cruise ships with fares and amenities that could shock Royal Caribbean’s regulars.

But these shiny new floating resorts’ complimentary champagne and luxurious suites weren’t enough to topple the Wonder of the Seas from its top spot on my “best cruises” list.

That’s because Royal Caribbean’s mega cruise ship had one standout feature I’ve yet to see on another vessel: the Boardwalk.
