We were on the Wish last week and really enjoyed it, the biggest pro is it’s a very pretty ship, the biggest con is the bizarre layout choices.
I wasn’t as bothered as most with the elevators and didn’t have any issues finding my way around the ship but I’m still stumped how they managed to make every space on the huge Wish feel much smaller than the counterpart spaces on the tiny Wonder.
The restaurant tables were ridiculously close together, the servers were struggling to get between them without bumping into guests or their chairs, the lounges were so small you had to show up 15 minutes ahead of time for trivia or bands or you’d have no chance at a seat (something we never experienced on the Wonder), the bars were tiny, the pools were small and crowded, even the seats in the theater felt tiny compared to the Wonder… it was weird that the ship feels massive but every space on it feels small. (The exception being the stunning atrium)
The food was also a bit of a let down compared to the Wonder, it wasn’t bad but I didn’t leave a single restaurant raving about a dish, it wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t great.
We had a blast, and I’d get back on the Wish again tomorrow if I could, but I definitely fall into the “not my first choice” category.
