Creator's Key Takeaways

We came back to our room on the first night and there were sets of matching pajamas for all of us waiting on the first night.

The reserved seating is fantastic. That was another thing I told our genie right off the bat. We want to go to all the shows. Make sure we have seats.

Just being completely taken care of, right? And from from the perspective of everyone traveling with me, cuz I was doing all the coordinating, they didn't have to think about a single thing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the Ultimate Family Suite as soon as it becomes available to get the lowest price and secure the room.
Communicate with your genie early to coordinate reservations for your entire group.
Arrive early at CocoCay to secure a good spot at the swim-up bar or other seating.

YouTube Video Description

There’s cruising… and then there’s cruising in the Ultimate Family Suite on Royal Caribbean’s newest megaship, Utopia of the Seas. Samantha Bailey—travel advisor and founder of Endeavor Travel Group—joins Krystal to talk about her family’s unforgettable stay in this two-story, jaw-dropping suite. From matching pajamas waiting on their beds to custom coffee deliveries and full-sized tubs for toddlers, every detail was magic. Add in a Royal Genie who books shows, fetches snacks, and even reserves escape room slots? It's basically a floating five-star fantasy. With nine people in her suite (plus more family in connecting balconies), Samantha explains how service, space, and smart planning turned a large group cruise into a seamless, luxurious experience. There were private hot tubs, gourmet meals served on their balcony, reserved front-row show seating, and even fruit baskets overflowing with too much fruit—if that’s even a thing. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to have every part of your cruise just handled, consider this your golden ticket.
