I am so glad you all captured this. We wanted to do this but it sold out quickly. Now I see why with the amount of space. I'll have to replay this tomorrow for our daughter to see this experience. I love how they were in character plus all of the details throughout the experience. Looks fun, funny and interactive."My butt is bumping" . Those squirrels caught me off guard too. Those desserts! 😂Thank you all for sharing.I felt like I was there with you all.

No problem at all. It was truly a great experience. I'm surprised they had availability when we called because we got it less than 1 week before our cruise. We were expecting ot to be sold out

If you start with a sail away party thats too spread out, then the stage is already set for standard Royal Caribbean. The Fun Squad begins with hype. When they run out and do a routine and everyone has at least a little real rhythm. When the Fun Squad busts through the door, everyone already knows it's going to be dope. When we were on Utopia they had a few with rhythm. But it was mainly the same hires. When they popped out we knew it was going to be the same
@philanddeetravels2 күн бұрын
Yes! Having that big split down the middle of the 2 pools hurts the sail away party. And there's tons of members of the fun squad and not so many of them on the party squad for royal. But you are correct. Royal is trying with this ship, but it's not that effective.

I think it’s the demographics of the ppl who are on the ship making it seem like a regular Royal Cruise. Just like Carnival has their demographic on there 4 days sailings and they be turnt. If you switched demographics I bet this ship would be turnt up. Royal attracts a certain crowd of ppl and vice versa with Carnival. Plus Royal is considered a luxury cruise ship so it’s pricey compared to Carnival. Just my opinion as to why ship doesn’t seem like a party ship that they want it to be.
@philanddeetravels3 күн бұрын
Couldn't agree with you more when speaking about the types of crowds they draw. But idk if I'd day Royal wad luxury. Now Celebrity Cruise line is Royal caribbeans luxury brand and THAT was very very nice. We have a series coming out soon of our experience on celebrity.

The 2 guys in gold at the pool party was staff or passengers? Agreed. It looked like hanging out. Ok you just said they were blowing bubbles. I think I want to try the railway dinner experience. We are going to stay in a boardwalk cabin as well. Don’t think our view will be great cuz we took the room closest to the elevator. On the Edge we chose the last room and my knees were screaming 😂. I like a non crowded show. Think you need a few drinks to participate in Quest 😂. Hollering at the men in ladies shoes and bras etc 🤣🤣🤣. Y’all partied after 💃🏼🕺. It was full enough. That was alot of ppl on the dance floor. Definitely better than the other party you showed that had like 10 ppl standing around. Great vid guys. We got y’all by 25 - 30 yrs so don’t always need the turn up but when I was your age; didn’t miss a beat. Have a great weekend guys. Hope your comfortable Dee🤗

Haven't been on utopia but I think you're spot on by saying most people who go with Royal aren't there for the party vibe, so it's gonna be hard to develop that. I go to relax, eat, watch shows, karaoke, a little dancing that's not unhinged hahaha - still to have fun but not necessarily to party. Some do, some don't. It's a good balance, I think. I think oasis class is particularly hard to make a party ship - so many families go with with oasis class for the kids.
