The reporter spent seven nights in an ocean-view stateroom on Wonder of the Seas, one of the world's largest cruise ships. Joey Hadden/Business Insider I booked a stateroom on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, one of the biggest cruise ships. For $2,000 a week, the 179-square-foot ocean-view cabin had a private bathroom and a king-size bed. I thought I'd feel cramped in the room, but it had everything I needed and left no space unused. I woke up in a dark room in the middle of the ocean, triggered an automatic window shade, and squinted as natural light gradually flooded the room, revealing the bow and the Caribbean Sea. I did this for seven days straight on my first cruise in 2022. I sailed aboard a Royal Caribbean mega ship, Wonder of the Seas .
