Editorial Summary

The creator provides a comprehensive review of the Utopia of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean mega ship, using a five step critique process involving ship, taste, entertainment, ports, and service. Despite initial fears regarding the massive scale and potential for overcrowding, the reviewer concludes that the ship feels like a floating city where distinct neighborhoods effectively disperse the crowds. He notes that the ship is so large that motion is virtually unnoticeable. The food experience is described as extensive, featuring a wide variety of complimentary and specialty dining options, though he notes one disappointing experience at a buffet extension. Entertainment receives the highest praise, with the creator highlighting the high quality of shows like the aqua theater performances and ice skating. The reviewer also addresses the service, which he found to be near perfect despite the high passenger capacity. Ultimately, he awards the cruise a 4.7 out of 5 rating, recommending the ship to those hesitant about large vessels.
