Creator's Key Takeaways

We start our morning with a quick breakfast at the Helios Grand Hotel before taking a Lyft over to the Port Canaveral cruise terminal for a seamless check-in.

Once onboard Utopia of the Seas, the exploration begins! We head straight to Playmakers to try the famous Poke Nachos, secure our show reservations, and tour the ship.

This room is on the hump of the ship. So, we get an extra large balcony and it's the same price. So, I would say this room, this balcony is probably what, twice the length of a regular balcony.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Reserve shows as soon as you board via the app.
Use the Diamond Lounge for coffee and drinks if you have the status.
Book a balcony room on the hump for extra space at the same price.
