    Wonder Day 3
    Ahoy Mates & Hello Happy Travelers!
    Welcome onboard Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas! This is the newest and biggest cruise ship in the WORLD! We are onboard for the inaugural sailing! This first sailing is a seven night cruise from Fort Lauderdale, Florida visiting Nassau Bahamas, San Juan Puerto Rico, Labadee Haiti, and Perfect Day at CocoCay! This is an Oasis class ship, so we are going to be getting all the innovative aspects of this style of ship that we’ve come to know and love, such as themed neighborhoods, fun onboard activities, and delicious dining! We will also be exploring new inclusions such as the Suite Neighborhood, Mason Jar, Playscape, and more!
    Today we are at our first port: Labadee Haiti, Royal Caribbean’s private destination! Labadee has been closed for nearly two years! To celebrate its reopening, we decided to try some excursions we hadn’t experienced before! We purchased a dual excursion including one hour access to the Arawak Aqua Park and a single ride on the Dragon’s Tail Coaster! Both were really fun in different ways! We tried to give you as much information as possible about these excursions, as well as Labadee in general! Once back onboard, we had dinner at Hooked Seafood and unfortunately, this was our least favorite meal of the sailing.
    We hope this was helpful and fun for you! If you are interested in planing your own cruise vacation, we would love to assist you! As travel agents, our services are free to our clients, and we are here to help you with the planning and booking process! Please contact us via the travel agent information located below! Happy Travels! 🛳🎉🎊

    I really appreciated the specifics about Labadee and this particular excursion. I'm trying to plan excursions and most videos seem to focus on the fun people are having and not the logistics of "where it is on the island" and "how long it truly is" and "doing the coaster anytime vs specific time for the course"...it was really helpful and I decided to schedule this for my family because of your vid.

      Hi Kas! Thanks for watching!
      There are not posted weight limits on the excursions booking page for the water slider or aqua park. The coaster lists a combined weight limit of 360 pounds, though they weren’t weighing people when we were there. 😁

    Royal caribbean will cancel the jet ski's excursion if there is any type of wind. They are sok scared of a law suit. I guess I blame lawmakers because I've been on two cruises so far this year with very nice weather and they've cancelled the stupid jet skies. It's a shame but I don't think if's Royal's fault. They actually want our money.

      Hi Cecilia Duarte! That's too bad! I'm sorry you haven't been able to do the jet ski's. It is very similar with the helium balloon at Perfect Day at CocoCay. Hopefully they will be running on one of your future visits. Thanks for watching! 🤗❤️🛳
