Creator's Key Takeaways

Security and check-in, less than 10 minutes.

It's absolutely roasting. For some reason, someone's put it on the hottest on the thermostat, which is it's ridiculous.

I don't think it's worth 50, actually.

This is the better place for the sunrise. Not down there. This is out in the open.

Don't book a cruise during holidays or school breaks to avoid crowds.
Consider the cost of tips, internet, and drink packages when budgeting.
Use the running track under the decks to avoid sun exposure.

YouTube Video Description

Utopia of the Seas isn’t just a cruise ship — it’s a floating mega-resort redefining short-break cruising. At nearly 1,200 feet long, weighing around 236,000 gross tons, and designed to carry up to 6,988 guests (double occupancy) — with maximum capacity pushing well over 7,000 passengers — this is one of the largest cruise ships ever built. With over 2,800 staterooms, 40+ dining and bar venues, multiple resort-style pools, waterslides, a zip line, surf simulators, and even a Central Park at sea, Utopia of the Seas is engineered for scale, efficiency, and high-volume guest experience. Purpose-built for 3 and 4-night Bahamas itineraries, including stops at Royal Caribbean’s private island, this ship represents a strategic shift toward premium short-duration cruising — maximising occupancy, onboard spend, and entertainment density. But what’s it actually like with nearly 7,000+ passengers onboard? In this video... I walk around as much of the ship as i can Check out hideaway beach on Coco Cay (Not worth it) Total up how much the cruise has cost me (A lot!) Is bigger always better — or just more expensive? (Definitely more expensive) Let’s find out.
