Creator's Key Takeaways

Utopia of the Seas is one of the largest cruise ships in the entire world.

The absolute best shows I've ever seen on board a cruise ship happen right here in the Aqua Theater.

I paid $1,000 for a 4day sailing. Was it worth it? It was right on the money.

I really enjoy working out while I'm on board. And I think the number one reason is because I don't get enough opportunities to do it while I'm at home.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Reserve your spots for the Aqua Theater shows well in advance because they sell out.
Go to the Wind Jammer buffet on the first day for all-you-can-eat lobster.
If you want a quieter pool experience, get further away from the pool.
Book spa appointments before you get on board to secure your preferred time.
Put limits on your kids' key card to control arcade spending.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Finding chairs on the pool deckCome out as early as 7:30 AM to secure a chair by the pool, or choose a quieter spot further away.
Long wait times for popular activitiesUse slides and Flow Rider on port days or embarkation day to avoid crowds.
Navigating the large shipUse the smart elevators and plan your route, as the ship is huge but well-designed.
