Creator's Key Takeaways

the Utopia is huge and if you have never sailed on an oasis class ship with Royal Caribbean you are going to be blown away by the beauty of the ship and the size of the ship

the shows are amazing so much talent but you must make reservations if you want a decent seat and sometimes if you want any seat at all

I was blown away literally by the sound up there in fact I wondered just how loud was this party and I downloaded a deciel meter and it went up to 110 DB

is this ship fun for everyone yes and no I will always prefer a 7-Day itinerary anytime over a three or 4 day itinerary

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make show reservations a month in advance for the best seats
Register children for the kids club even if unsure they will use it
Bring hearing protection for children at pool parties due to high decibel levels
Use the app to find freestyle soda machines and manage your cruise activities
