Why I can't stop raving about Utopia of the Seas
By Anna Ward, Cruisebound Product Owner, Content
Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to check out Royal Caribbean’s newest ship, Utopia of the Seas. Dubbed the “World’s Biggest Preview Party,” this event kicked off what’s now known as the “World’s Biggest Weekend.” Utopia sails 3- and 4-night routes from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas and Caribbean. Since returning, I can’t stop raving to my team about Utopia, and now, I’m excited to share it with you!
As the second-largest ship in the Royal fleet, Utopia can host a staggering 5,668 guests and 2,290 crew members at full capacity. This Oasis-class mega-ship offers the perfect escape from our hectic lives: a short getaway aboard a floating resort packed with activities and leisure, providing a chance to quickly recharge. If you’re considering a brief retreat, here’s a glimpse of what you can expect on Royal’s latest marvel.

Pre-Cruise & Embarkation
My sister and I flew into Orlando the day before embarkation and stayed at Cape Canaveral, near Utopia’s home port. Trust me, you’ll want to book a hotel as close to the port as possible. While many people opt to stay just a few miles away near the more lively Coco Beach (which is definitely worth a visit), being just a stone’s throw away from the cruise port made for a much smoother embarkation day.
