Inaugural Sailing of Utopia of the Seas
July
Pros: Great upgrades over Wonder of the Seas
Cons: Can be difficult to get reservations at restaurants and shows for 3 night cruise. Not crazy about the location of Playmakers on the Boardwalk. Can get very hot in the summer months making it difficult to enjoy the space.
Recommended: Yes
Loved the ship and it is now my favorite Oasis Class ship. Solarium is fantastic and the Pesky Parrot was a great upgrade over Bionic Bar. Elevators are a big improvement. Love the location and design of Giovanni's Wine Bar and enjoyed Izumi in the Park.

Utopia Inaugural Sailing
July
Pros: Technology, Venues, Activity Diversity, Staterooms
Cons: Pool can be a bit louder
Recommended: Yes
Many people (including Royal Caribbean) paint Utopia as a "booze cruise" or a party ship.. and while it does facilitate that more than any other RC ship, it's not out of control and leading to unwanted behaviors. Yes — The pool deck was more lively and played upbeat DJ music instead of the usual relaxing Caribbean tunes. Some of this spilled over more noticeably into Central Park throughout the day, for example. Otherwise, my wife and I had a very “traditional” Oasis-class cruise where we enjoyed the food, shows, and pub/Mason Jar and the “party” elements were virtually undetectable to us because we did not go to them. You do NOT need to avoid Utopia if you’re not into the party scene.
