Sometimes, life on land can get boring, which is when people decide to explore the ocean (some turn towardspace, too). Cruise ships are a haven for people who want the best vacation experience with all of their needs catered to. If you have an extra $4000 handy, you could even book a room in the best cabin on board.
Acruise shipworker recently posted a mind-blowing video on TikTok giving people a glimpse of the amazing amenities on board the Wonder of the Seas. This cruise ship certainly knows how to take things to the next level!

“This is the biggest cabin on the world’s biggest cruise ship, it can cost over $4,000 per night to stay here”
“I’ve only got a minute to show you everything. So, let’s jump right into it. Starting with the staircase. A fully functioning piano staircase is in this room. You can either set it up as a normal piano or you can put certain songs on it like classic stuff, or Taylor Swift, or whatever. The stairs take you up to what I think is considered the master bedroom. Looks like this, great view. And then right across the way, if you go through this door, here’s where the kids stay.”
“Speaking of fancy, you don’t have to have stairs in this place. You could just take a slide if you want. Downstairs is the main living space, of course, and you’ll find another bedroom down here, and the dinner table in the living room is a fully functioning game system, which is just crazy.”
“Speaking of games, you’ve got the PlayStation, you’ve got the Switch. All the games are from 2018, I’m not sure why. But other than that, everything is super, super new”
“The bathrooms are big, they’re spacious, and there’s a whole lot of little details all throughoutthe room that just give it so much character. Let me know, would you stay here if you had the cash?”

The ship mentioned in the video is calledWonder of the Seas. It is part of the Royal Caribbean International fleet and was ready for sailing in 2022. Besides the amazing facilities that the poster showed in the video, the cruise also has a water park, playground, basketball court, ice-skating rink, surf simulator, a zip line, theater, and much more. There is also a unique place on board called Central Park, with more than 10,000 plants andflowers.
It’s shocking to imagine, but this large cruise can comfortably accommodate 6,988 passengers. That’s great news because research shows that thenumber of cruise ship passengerswas 20.4 million in 2022 and is expected to keep rising each year. People also tend to spend an average of $385 while on a cruise, which is far less than the budget described in the video, but nevertheless, it seems like people love cruises!
Bored Pandainterviewed a current cruise ship employee,Lespaul Rebello, to understand more about different cruise ships, their amenities, and the experience of working on a cruise liner. When asked about the usual length of people’s stay on board, he mentioned, “Staying on the cruise depends, 7 days or 15 days, doing the Western and Eastern cruises. All depends how much they are [willing] to spend. There are guests who do the world cruising, gold members [stay] 365 days on board.”
Lespaul also shared his experience and more information about expensive cruise liners: “I have been working with a few reputed crew ships, started my first crew job in 1997 and still working for around 27 yrs. The most expensive rooms on a cruise ship depend as per companies. The most expensive I have known was in the Norwegian Epic, they give you 3 staterooms with WC attached, a big hall with a piano, and huge sitting place. Open balcony with a jacuzzi and a [sauna] attached with a shower.”

Theglobal cruise marketwas valued at $7.25 billion in 2021. Around 1.75 million of those passengers visit the Caribbean, the Bahamas, and Bermuda, which are considered popular travel destinations. People love spending a vacation on a cruise because they’re pampered and treated like royalty. According to Lespaul, “They have a concierge service 24/7 taking care of all their requirements like going on tours, [and] a butler service.” Now, who would say no to that?
Cruise ships aren’t just interesting for the passengers but for the staff working on them as well. They get to experience a whole new lifestyle while they work on the ship. Lespaul provided some information for people who want to work on cruise liners, saying: “Working for the first time, you have to adjust a lot. Not like your land job, it’s the ship life. Small cabins (could be 4 in a cabin, 2 in a cabin) just for sleeping. But while working, you will adjust and learn a lot, not much time for fun.”
Many people said that the cabin room gave off “Big Time Rush” vibes, and some said that they’d probably spend all their time in their room if it were so luxurious
