What is not included on Wonder of the Seas?

Not included with your cruise fare: Most beverages beyond water, drip coffee and lemonade. Gratuities. Shore excursions. Spa treatments.



While Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas offers a vast array of complimentary amenities, several premium experiences and services are not included in the base cruise fare. Most notably, Specialty Dining at venues like Chops Grille, Izumi, and Mason Jar requires a separate cover charge. Most beverages—including soda, bottled water, specialty coffees, and alcoholic drinks—must be paid for individually or through a beverage package. While most entertainment is free, certain exclusive tours, the "Royal Escape Room," and video arcade games involve extra fees. Additionally, onboard gratuities, Wi-Fi access (Voom), spa treatments, and laundry services are not covered by the initial ticket price. Guests should also budget for shore excursions and "Perfect Day at CocoCay" premium cabanas. Despite these exclusions, the ship provides enough free dining at the Windjammer and Main Dining Room, alongside high-energy shows and pools, to ensure a full vacation experience without necessarily spending more once on board.
