Philipsburg
St. MaartenPortA one-street town on Great Bay: Front Street for duty-free liquor and jewelry, Back Street behind it, and a boardwalk of bars on the sand. The island's real draw is elsewhere — Maho Beach at the end of the Princess Juliana runway, where arriving jets pass a few dozen feet overhead, and the French side at Marigot and Grand Case for lunch.
- Maho Beach plane spotting
- Great Bay boardwalk and Front Street
- Orient Bay on the French side
- Loterie Farm zip line and hiking on Pic Paradis
- Getting ashore
- Docked at the A.C. Wathey pier; town is a 20-25 minute walk around the bay or a few dollars each way by water taxi.
- Best months
- Dec-Apr; Sep-Oct is the hurricane peak, and damage from Irma in 2017 is still visible in places

What Travelers Say About Wonder of the Seas
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Wonder of the Seas sailing. Distilled from 236 traveler threads, passenger reviews and travel blogs.
Wonder of the Seas is the newest and largest of Royal Caribbean's Oasis-class ships, and that recency shows - it consistently earns the highest marks of the four sisters thanks to fresher cabins, modern finishes, and exclusive features the older ships don't have. The signature draw is its eighth neighborhood, the private Suite Neighborhood, plus the cantilevered Vue bar overlooking the sea and the family-focused Wonder Playscape. The vibe is unmistakably a floating resort city: eight themed neighborhoods, a near-7,000-guest capacity, and so much to do that reviewers say boredom is impossible.
What People Love
- Newest and largest Oasis-class ship (debuted 2022), so cabins, finishes, and tech feel the most modern and best-maintained of the four sister ships
- Exclusive Suite Neighborhood adds an 8th neighborhood with a private restaurant, lounge, and a rooftop Suites Sun Deck pool reviewers call a peaceful escape from the busy main deck
- The Vue bar cantilevers over the side of the pool deck with panoramic ocean views and a color-changing mosaic canopy at sunset, a venue exclusive to Wonder among Oasis ships
Common Complaints
- Crowds are the most common complaint - lines build for popular venues, elevators, the Windjammer buffet, and the most sought-after shows on a near-7,000-guest ship
- Reviewers repeatedly note Royal Caribbean's main dining room and buffet food quality has slipped, with many calling complimentary food merely average
- The best dining (Hooked, Chops Grille, Wonderland, Izumi) is specialty and costs extra, so a satisfying food experience can add meaningfully to the fare
