Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators document their boarding experience on the Utopia of the Seas, a new Oasis class ship from Royal Caribbean marketed as a party cruise. They begin by exploring the terminal atmosphere and visiting the Pesky Parrot tiki bar, where they attempt to secure limited edition mugs. The tour continues through the Royal Promenade, highlighting unique art and the new destination elevator system. The creators then inspect their Central Park balcony room, noting the tranquil view and convenient amenities like bedside outlets. After discussing the importance of booking entertainment early, they sample food from the new Spare Tire food truck on the pool deck. The video also features a visit to the Solarium, a relaxing 18 plus area with hot tubs, and a high energy sail away party. For dinner, they visit the premium Southern style restaurant, The Mason Jar, providing detailed reviews of dishes such as Nashville hot fried chicken and lobster gumbo. The experience concludes with a viewing of the Aqua 80s show at the Aqua Theater, which the creators praise for its high diving and synchronized swimming spectacle.

Creator's Key Takeaways

this is supposedly the world's biggest weekend and we are here to experience it

I love the salarium it's so quiet in here it's a little bit cooler than the outside

this is a five out of five is it Friday or is it the weekend both

this is something that you can't miss you got to see it if you love the 80s if you love high diving if you love amazing shows

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book your entertainment as soon as you get on the ship because shows sell out quickly
Bring your own conditioner because the ship only provides a shampoo-body wash combo
