  • I'm cruising with Utopia of the Seas!
    Although Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas remains the largest cruise ship in the world, the Utopia of the Seas; launching July 19th, will be the newest ship to join the fleet. I am lucky enough to be invited as part of a casino comp to cruise from Port Canaveral to Nassau and Coco Cay in August of 2024, and I'm so excited to show you the ship! #cruise #cruiseline #utopiaoftheseas

    I know you said you plan on doing a "what's different tour" but I hope you do a full ship tour for people who have never cruised or never cruised royal. It may seem repetitive, but you'd be shocked how many new viewers it'll help! Been watching your videos all day my friend & enjoy the content ❤

    I can attest to the deals casino players can get. The cruise my husband and I are taking in Nov is a 17 day transatlantic, $411 CDN each in a mini suite. And the on board credit we are receiving is more than the cost of our cruise. So they are technically paying us to cruise.

    You don't really have to book the drink package for both people in the room. If one can't or doesn't drink alcohol, you just need to call Royal Caribbean directly. They will require the person not purchasing the alcohol package to purchase the Refreshment Package. It's done all of the time. :-)

      Ah, ok. Good to know, Speednoodles. I think there was a time where it was required, and I can understand why they had it that way, (in order to prevent the "cheaters"). Thank you for your kind way of correcting me.

We will once again be visiting the newly opened Hideaway Beach (Adults Only whoo hoo!!). That's right I'll be "Balling It" there for my 2nd time. Looking forward to this new gorgeous ship and also seeing what tips you can give us after your sailing. Congrats on your Diamond Level! Enjoy the high seas!!

    Fortunately, I’ve never felt a compulsion to sail on a brand new ship. I’m fine with slightly older, certainly cheaper ship where - presumably - they’ve worked out all the kinks. Thankfully we’ve got people like you to show us what they are like.

    I hope they put the train car restaurant on other ships. I would pay $119 for that it’s like a dinner theater.
    Coco Cay is not like a theme park there are no rides except the train. Yes the cabanas are ridiculous expensive.
    The island is very nice & we love stopping there. We have always had good food while we were there too.
    Have a great cruise.

    Aida has got an entertainment restaurant called "Time Machine" on 2 of their ships. It costs about 30 Euros per person including food and drinks. And it is worth it because it is really fun. Judging from the pictures you showed, I don't think the experience on the Utopia is so much different (except of the theming, perhaps). 119 $ is really a lot.

    I'm looking forward to your tour of Utopia Morgan. Being an Aussie, a drinks package for us is a no brainer because of the exchange rate! Nothing to do with how many drinks, its pure financial sense to get it. Eg. 4 cocktails on Quantum (our next cruise) is $15-00 USD that's 24-60 AUD! The drinks package on a buy one get one half price is $125-00 AUD. We only need 4 cocktails a day to pay for it and we like coffee and always drink bottled water with our drinks.

    BTW you can't really compare Wonder to Utopia as you will have a much better experience on Utopia. The LNG engines have removed a lot of cabins. On wonder there are 6988 passenger berths compared to 5668 on Utopia so nearly 1300 less passengers. However there is more or less the same amount of crew so the crew to passenger rating is much better on Utopia. If you can't choose between the two (and price isn't an object :) ) then go with Utopia.
