Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm currently on the Utopia of the Seas. And my husband Alan is getting ready to come on the ship and join me for our three-ight adventure.

It's a big party scene. It was fun. I mean, there are people here of all ages.

Three night cruises is usually not our thing because by the time you get on, there's no relaxing.

It was a great cruise. I don't know if the three night cruises are a thing, especially on the Utopia.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use your old SeaPass card to scan out and new one to scan back in for back-to-back cruises.
If you switch cabins, pack your luggage and your state room attendant will move it for you.
For a short cruise, plan to rush as there's little time to relax.
