• Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas is the world's largest cruise ship.
• There are 20 restaurants on the ship, and one of them is a Starbucks kiosk with an abridged menu.

I recently went on my first cruise on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas and spotted a familiar green logo on the ship — the Starbucks sign.

Wonder of the Seas is the largest cruise ship in the world, and it's the fifth Royal Caribbean ship to include the coffee shop chain that's familiar to travelers from around the world, according to Cruise Critic.

On Wonder of the Seas, it's located on deck 5, which is the Royal Promenade. I thought it felt like a floating mall with restaurants, shops, and bars placed around massive sculptures, such as a gigantic cowboy hat.

The Starbucks outpost is a stand-alone kiosk serving an abridged version of the regular menu you'll find in stores on land. It's one of the specialty options on board Wonder of the Seas that comes at an additional cost and is priced per item.

The menu includes cold brew, espresso drinks, Frappuccinos, and Refreshers. Grande is the only size offered, as opposed to the standard Tall or Venti options.

Just like other Starbucks locations, there are also food items, such as a selection of snacks like nuts, biscotti, and granola bars by the register ....

To cool off, I ordered a Frappuccino. My flavor choices were Caramel Ribbon Crunch, Mocha Cookie Crumble, Vanilla Bean Creme, Strawberry Creme, and Java Chip.

As a fan of the original Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino, I went with Caramel Ribbon Crunch for $6.25. Like at other Starbucks locations, the barista made the drink in front of me.

According to Cruise Critic, the Frappuccinos cost about the same as they do on land.

The only difference is that you pay for it with your cruise card, which acts as your room key and identification card on the ship and makes charges directly to your room.

This was my first time having the Caramel Ribbon Crunch, which was delicious and refreshing. It reminded me of the original Caramel Frappuccinos I drank in middle school, just with some extra surgery chunks.

During my first cruise when everything was new to me, it was nice to have a familiar coffee experience that brought me a sense of nostalgia.
