Creator's Key Takeaways

I had an incredible time on both Utopia of the Seas and Wonder of the Seas.

I wouldn't hesitate to book another cruise on either ship.

I preferred the more modern amenities and design of the stateateroom.

The strategy proved to be a huge success.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a stateroom on Utopia of the Seas for more space and better layout.
Try the specialty dining options, as they are a highlight of the cruise.
If you want a more convenient departure port, choose Utopia of the Seas from Port Canaveral.
