Creator's Key Takeaways

This is Utopia of the Seas, one of the biggest cruise ships in the world, a floating city with over 2,800 staterooms

I think this is the biggest balcony I've ever had. Really? These chairs look nice.

The most disgusting place on any cruise ship. The place you're going to spend, if you allow yourself to, an absolute load of money.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid booking cruises during school holidays if you want to avoid crowds of children.
Check the mattress for stains before sleeping in it.
Use the running track under the decks to avoid the sun in the Bahamas.
Consider the cost of drink packages and automatic gratuities when budgeting.

YouTube Video Description

Utopia of the Seas isn’t just a cruise ship — it’s a floating mega-resort redefining short-break cruising. At nearly 1,200 feet long, weighing around 236,000 gross tons, and designed to carry up to 6,988 guests (double occupancy) — with maximum capacity pushing well over 7,000 passengers — this is one of the largest cruise ships ever built. With over 2,800 staterooms, 40+ dining and bar venues, multiple resort-style pools, waterslides, a zip line, surf simulators, and even a Central Park at sea, Utopia of the Seas is engineered for scale, efficiency, and high-volume guest experience. Purpose-built for 3 and 4-night Bahamas itineraries, including stops at Royal Caribbean’s private island, this ship represents a strategic shift toward premium short-duration cruising — maximising occupancy, onboard spend, and entertainment density. But what’s it actually like with nearly 7,000+ passengers onboard? In this video...
