They do direct traffic to either one or the other on the Wonder at certain times. Also, since Parrot Cay closes a little earlier than Beach Blanket, they direct people away from PC near closing time. I prefer Parrot Cay. I find the back of the ship, in the sun, not moving to be extremely HOT--it's great on at sea days, but not in port to me. Most people who are fortunate enough to get the shaded tables stake them out, so I'll pick PC or room service in October.
