SOMEWHERE IN THE ATLANTIC — Port Canaveral has welcomed most of Royal Caribbean’s Oasis-class ships, each of which has held the title of world’s largest cruise ship, but with Wonder of the Seas’ arrival, it marks the first time the Orlando market has gotten a hold of one in its first year of service.
Wonder of the Seas debuted out of Port Everglades in the spring, but began year-round service from Port Canaveral in November. The ship comes in at 1,188 feet long, 217 feet wide with 18 decks and 2,867 staterooms.
Its gross tonnage is 236,857 with a 7,084-guest maximum capacity, the highest among all Oasis-class ships.
