My husband and I would not have made this vacation choice without doing our research and finding Josh C Contact: Josh Crothers

833.215.0195. He made the best suggestions within our budget. He made the process so much easier. He also helped my family that joined us made their trip memorable as well. We will definitely use him again when we want to do another cruise.
Utopia of the Seas
November
Pros: Beautiful new ship, clean, staff is wonderful always
Cons: Food is good but not excellent, itinerary is the same so often and it gets boring
Recommended: Yes
Loved this beautiful brand new ship. It’s clean, staff is amazing, shows are awesome, elevator issues have been fixed with this new system. Food is good but having the exact same menu on all ships now gets old fast. I miss the diversity and lobster nights.
Port Canaveral is terrible with nothing to do and RC will never stop going there because it’s where they pick up provisions. Nassau is also not a stop I get off the ship anymore after going there almost ten times. Really wish there was more diversity with ports/itineraries for the large ships. Also wish RC would do longer cruises on the large ships but was informed they’re making all Oasis class ships 3-4 nights because it makes them double the money over a 7 night. Just some things to be aware of.
The BEST cruise ever!
November
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
Recommended: Yes
Book this cruise. You won't regret it. With 10k persons on board the ship still felt empty. Nowhere was excessively crowded. So much to see and do. The entertainment staff was superb and the food was excellent. Housekeeping was literally invisible. The rooms were just magically cleaned every day.
Utopia
October
Pros: Lots of stuff for a family to do /shows
Cons: None
Recommended: Yes
We enjoyed our trip on Utopia of the Seas. The kids loved going to the kids club. Both the ice show, and the aqua show. The food was good. The dining room staff was great and even brought my daughter extra shrimp when he found out she loved it.
Great Weekend Aboard Utopia of the Seas
September
Pros: There was so much to do!
Cons:
Recommended: Yes
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent cruise aboard Utopia. It is a great ship and easy to move around and about! The crew was very friendly and helpful. The ship was very clean and someone was always working to maintain the cleanliness at all times. I also appreciated the hand washing and hand sanitizer stations that were everywhere! Perfect Day at Coco Cay was also a great time.
Utopia Weekend Cruise
August
Pros: Loved the modern decor and all the employees were supberb.
Cons: Too many adults drinking alcohol at times in the pool and getting too loud around the younger kids which is supposed to be a family oriented boat. Should have an adult only pool . Also you need to have a library.
Recommended: Yes
All in all a great ship. The food was good, the shows were good and the employees were the best. I did a back to back cruise and my daughter and family did the three day part of our week on the boat and they said the three day was too short to enjoy everything.
Overall great
August
Pros: Music, entertainment, restaurants, elevators
Cons: Big con for us was the music was too loud
Recommended: Yes
We love music but at times you couldn't hear the conversation around you.
Inaugural Sailing of Utopia of the Seas
July
Pros: Great upgrades over Wonder of the Seas
Cons: Can be difficult to get reservations at restaurants and shows for 3 night cruise. Not crazy about the location of Playmakers on the Boardwalk. Can get very hot in the summer months making it difficult to enjoy the space.
Recommended: Yes
Loved the ship and it is now my favorite Oasis Class ship. Solarium is fantastic and the Pesky Parrot was a great upgrade over Bionic Bar. Elevators are a big improvement. Love the location and design of Giovanni's Wine Bar and enjoyed Izumi in the Park.
Utopia Inaugural Sailing
July
Pros: Technology, Venues, Activity Diversity, Staterooms
Cons: Pool can be a bit louder
Recommended: Yes
Many people (including Royal Caribbean) paint Utopia as a "booze cruise" or a party ship.. and while it does facilitate that more than any other RC ship, it's not out of control and leading to unwanted behaviors.
Yes — The pool deck was more lively and played upbeat DJ music instead of the usual relaxing Caribbean tunes. Some of this spilled over more noticeably into Central Park throughout the day, for example.
Otherwise, my wife and I had a very “traditional” Oasis-class cruise where we enjoyed the food, shows, and pub/Mason Jar and the “party” elements were virtually undetectable to us because we did not go to them.
You do NOT need to avoid Utopia if you’re not into the party scene.
