Our HONEST Review, Utopia Of The Seas: This Ship Could Get Out Of Control

[@dobie520]

I like your cruise content, but it has been a little too much the same lately. I know you want to tour the new ships, but the tours seem pretty much the same. I would love to see you guys touring ports and maybe doing an excursion on the longer cruises.

[@Scoots12]

I completely agree! I love Kyle's content but there have been so many cruises and its getting repetitive. I skipped most of the videos from this series. I'd love to see Kyle do something different...Disneyland? Aulani?

[@AnnaHernandez92]

Some of you just love to complain 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@tacoma_jon]

@@AnnaHernandez92yeah why should the viewers who watch provide feedback on what they’d like to see..? 🥴🥴🥴

[@Scoots12]

@@amiepanzer4472 disagree. I love Casey.

[@janetguzman2245]

More like parks around the world, x-plor parks in Mexico. Etc

[@MrMarohlsclassroom]

No disrespect, but this kind of cruise did not seem like Kyle and Casey’s thing. It was definitely a party boat, and you guys seemed very out of place. Not saying that you guys can’t be cruising anymore but you guys are more family cruises. Jojo is the party drinker boat type. Everyone has their space and that wasn’t yours

[@WasReloading]

I dont think you have any idea what your talking about. They had an amazing time as they keep saying..

[@MrMarohlsclassroom]

@@WasReloading You can look at other cruises and see them enjoying chiller sailings way more. My opinion only

[@WasReloading]

@@MrMarohlsclassroom Kyle’s favourite cruise line is Virgin, the least chill cruise

[@MrMarohlsclassroom]

@@WasReloading and what does he do the whole time? Plus if Casey is coming along. Not partying the whole time

[@lizzie_93]

kyle wants to have the illusion he wants to be more chill. He absolutely still wants to party but doesnt want his audience to see that.

[@kimbowers4559]

I just spent that same amount on a 10 day cruise! They can keep their over priced 3-4 day mega ship cruises.

[@LMorgan-p1h]

It is overpriced for the # of days

[@allykat5945]

I have to be honest, your cruise content is getting boring. Would love to see you go to places other than the Bahamas or the cruise lines private islands. Take longer cruises, go to different Islands, go on excursions. Would rather see the destination then just the boat.

[@connguy7331]

Every ship is like the same, every cruise room is the same yet you spend time filming the exact same stuff.

[@masonluker9092]

The freestyle machines DO NOT have Dr. Pepper unfortunately!! Dr. Pepper isn’t a coke product, it’s owned by Keurig.

[@CurlyQ227_]

Freestyle machines where I am have dr. Pepper.

[@roberthuss]

The ones on Utopia have Mr. Pibb, which is Coke's version of Dr. Pepper.

[@dsoares6564]

The railroad dinner experience I am told is only able to accommodate 300 guests per sailing which is disappointing since the ship can hold 6000 passengers so it would be difficult to get a reservation.

[@jill8290]

Thank you for your honest review of this cruise through a family-friendly lens!!

[@Steven-zf7yp]

Great Daily Dose KP & Casey! I love your cruise content! Thanks for all the info! Great review

[@tyronenurse8202]

Thanks so much Casey for your honest views! Kyle, if you keep saying "it's upto you" how are you helping us with your honest view? Say an opinion, that's why we watch.

[@GetbyZach]

He's not wrong. Cruising preferences are highly subjective which is why there are many different cruise lines available. These types of videos helps others decide if this particular line or ship is right for them.

[@TravelwithEbby]

Fact check.. I’m going on a cruise in December on Utopia and the Utopia station opened up beginning of August and it’s already sold out for my December cruise.. got me a spot!

[@lovecruising3010]

what I’m saying is there’s so many other RC ships that are for children. I’m glad to see leaning more towards adults on this ship.

[@alyssajones9006]

Have you thought about trying Celebrity cruise line? They offer 3 day sailings

[@icedog1015]

great review. Since they sell and promote it as "the biggest weekend". Wonder what they call the midweek sailing? "Biggest short week party"? lol

[@geralderwin]

Thanks for all the info we booked a cruise next year.

[@brooksterabb]

No way would I set foot on a Virgin voyage cruise. Not for me.

[@paulah5342]

Thanks for the review - on this ship in January!

[@brendaevans9981]

Was considering booking this ship with a friend. Not so sure now. Not interested in a party ship. If I wanted that I'd book a Carnival cruise.

[@kennethpreston9813]

Seems like a party ship and booze cruise. These shorter cruises are geared for the party crowd. Nothing wrong with that except that for first time cruisers sailing on Royal it might give them a misleading opinion on the RCL cruising experience on other RCL ships. If you’re looking for a party, this would be fun. I’ll take a more relaxed cruise experience any day.

[@de8537]

love your videos, i want to start my own travel channel/vlogs, especially with my kids any tips how I can start as a beginner vlogger??

[@KylePalIo]

Just get started! Don’t put it off

[@pj7342]

Food truck uses premade third party frozen food. Not very original.

[@orlando_en_glenn]

Thanks Kyle!

[@MistiCleghorn]

Casey, how’s the knee feeling? Hopefully it’s doing better!

[@jeritubbs4994]

It would be nice if you took a Norweigan cruise for comparison. I will be a first time cruiser and would love to see the differences.

[@WalterRiggs]

11:44 If you’re worried about a few radio-safe songs being “inappropriate” for your children… do a Disney cruise FFS. Never ceases to amaze me how innocent people think their kids are.

[@deuce1414]

right lol if the songs were censored, what is the problem?

[@andrereed3761]

I have a question or questions, how much do you love cruising, and when is your next one?

[@dais813]

Ahh, I’m going on Utopia next week. But i’m not very excited now after this review 🥴

[@MrDisneyWorld]

Cruising for the weekend, always a fun way to change things up! Thank you guys for sharing your experience 💯😎

[@bryansipes3601]

We never sailed Royal. You mentioned "no power cords." My devices (phone, laptop, camera, etc) all charge with a power cord. OR ... are you referring to a "surge protector"???

[@dais813]

you can use regular power cords but no surge protectors or extension cords

[@Mfels16]

First was serenade then freedom then allure then independence then odyssey.Definitely will agree we like the newer ships and bigger ships.would ranked my favorites as odyssey then allure got utopia coming up.

[@jeanmac743]

Kyle...you make me smile with your comments about old people..i am 65 and i would love the silent disco...remember we grew up with disco....and rock and hard rock, pop....we were hippies, nerds and jocks...lol. we have partied too much in many cases. Don't get me wrong...i have experienced so much in my life....Disney is my cruise ship of choice now but i might have been partying with jojo when younger😂 l love your vlogs but remember us old people have lived and are living an amazing and full life.

[@suziequeue2]

This old person actually went to many toga parties all through college😂 I love a good toga party and silent disco 😁

[@Kayw434]

Age is just a number! I can run circles around girls Casey’s age! We have been at many silent discos and there are people of all ages having fun!! Sometimes, the older crowd seems to be having more fun!!😂There is also a separate family silent disco earlier in the evening on Royal! We love Disney too! And Celebrity!

[@Juancarlo4342]

Msc drinks and wifi included and carnival sometimes we get drinks included & princess premium all are better deals than a royal cruise not worth it. I'm a chiller not a slider.

[@SavageThrifter]

I was thinking to take my 15 and 16 year old on the aug 12-16th sailing. Its like $680 per person for the 4 day cruise in a balcony room. My family has never been on a cruise before. Is that expensive comparatively?

[@Juancarlo4342]

Cheap for royal

[@Alyssa_Dutson]

Thank you for being honest about the vibes - my husband and I were going to book Utopia for October, but we don’t drink alcohol and this ship just seems like Virgin Voyages vibes - what ship would you recommend for us for not drinking, but still plenty of activities? Thanks :)

[@TravelsByHollie]

I don’t drink & I’m taking my kids on a 4 day cruise in November. I really don’t think the 4 day cruises will be as much as a party vibe. I hope anyway! However, to answer your question. Stay away from Carnival ships & do a Royal Oasis class that’s a longer sailing.

[@Alyssa_Dutson]

@@TravelsByHolliethank you! We have taken only one cruise and it was Carnival - definitely learned our lesson there! Lol

[@iriswagstaff]

I'm not a big drinker or partier and love Virgin Voyages. It's what you make it. I simply rested, didn't have to deal with unruly kids, had the best food at sea, loved the ports and met great people.

[@darthrevan4life]

​@@TravelsByHollieI'm also taking my wife and 2 kids in November. It's only a party ship if you choose to go to those events. From videos I've seen, you can just avoid them pretty easily. My kids are pumped about splashaway bay, mini golf and the playscape.

[@Juancarlo4342]

With carnival only xl class ships and msc Evo class ships, all carnival and msc other ships waste of money.

[@shiloh6-pack77]

We really enjoyed the cruise content. Our family is newer to cruising and appreciate the detailed tours. We also rely on you for all the Disney Park tips and hacks! 😊

[@divalayden8073]

GREAT and AWESOME review f Utopia!!!!!! 💗👌👍🏼👏❤️💕😻

[@salliestewart4713]

Planning is excellent. We just did a heavy port mediterranean cruise on a large ship. We did everything we wanted but 1 slide. Planning made it so stress free!!!

[@CruiseBear]

Spring breakers won’t be able to afford this ship.

[@Brenda-dd5kx]

I wish they would have made it an adult cruise, that would have made it a bigger party cruise! I don't think they are trying to resemble Virgin at all. I would go to Utopia not Virgin 🤷‍♀

[@DebPeterson-rq4xv]

I feel like short weekend or short get-away cruises should also not be too expensive.

[@MegaMillionsMike]

Utopia seems like a lot of fun, especially with a sale or something lol 😆

[@3pure3]

Dr Pepper is not a coke product. Dr Pepper is its own company.

[@catherinesargefield1732]

Which cruise line is best for a 4 day trip and for first time cruising on any cruise?

[@Golfer5824]

At the beginning, you mentioned Universal. That is very exciting because I think the two of you would be awesome spending a little more time reviewing Universal and of course upcoming Epic Universe! Disney is going downhill and your take on the Universal Parks, lodging and food costs would be very interesting to hear. Until WDW gets new leadership, it’s going to continue the downward spiral.

[@cindycammarota8821]

Question ok 2 you know the hack you mentioned in allure to see the water show up on deck 7 can you do that on this ship?? And did you make reservations for the shows or do the stand by at the last minute?

[@KylePalIo]

Yes!

[@GetbyZach]

8:28 So am I meant to represent "Loyal to Royal" or "older crowd"? 🤣

[@themovieguytulsa]

Jojo got a short look at the railroad restaurant on his vlog

[@brianstevens802]

The ship was beautiful with lots to do. I'm not sure if I'd pay the money for a solo cruise but definitely worth going with a grouo of friends. Great series.

[@karenradach7551]

All the other ships have the free style and yes there is Dr Pepper

[@TravelsByHollie]

I’m taking my 9 & 10 year olds in November on a 4 day. It was a great price. Hopefully, we can stay away from the party people.

[@commonsense246]

We're old and decrepit, we never go to the parties on the pool deck, there are tons of other places for sailaway, I'd be in Solarium for that anyways.

[@Jew1992u]

I honestly honestly think it would be better if it was a 7 night itinerary they make more money. That’s just my opinion.

[@KylePalIo]

Go on icon, TRUST

[@jessicajohnson9231]

3 and 4 nights are the most profitable cruises

[@JenKnee423]

Did you get to meet up with Jordan while you were on board?

[@abeamzn1898]

Drink package worth it if speciality coffee is included. Also nothing says you cant have virgin bar drinks.

[@tonitomko7331]

Thanks for the shout out Casey... Tornadoes at Circle K!!!😊

[@1163bonnie]

It was a pleasure meeting you both.. We're the couple passing you in the boardwalk. I had mentioned my Husband Rene had 2 long Island ice teas 😂. He had a happy buzz at that moment.. Anyway, we really enjoy watching you and your growing love for each other.. ❤

[@milnjohnmemoirs7777]

Thank you guys for the honest review. We are 4 weeks away from our cruise on Utopia. Will be providing our honest review as well.

[@ShawnG-kv2xm]

Love you guys. Great cruise content. But the DoorDash food segway was interestingly interesting. Thanks for the review as I’ve been contemplating and comparing cruises for the end of the year. So far Disney Wish is looking like a top contender.

[@Juancarlo4342]

Dr. Pepper is owned by keurig Dr. Pepper company.

[@carmenfashoda5196]

FYI. Time magazine just released their 100 greatest places in July 2024 issue and #1 was Icon of the Seas.

[@ChinaDollTravels]

3:40 I agree ☝️ with Casey I think it’s weird to bring a hair dryer since they already provide one in the ship 🚢 and then to get it taken away and having to pick it up when it’s time to depart the end of the cruise sounds like a hassle and too much work in my opinion

[@MyHomeSchoolLife]

I'm sad that it's not super family friendly. We personally don't like the party atmosphere. We love going on Disney because it is super kid friendly. Is Icon a party atmosphere? We would love to try Royal but not sure.

[@Kayw434]

We sail with Royal a lot (usually the newer ships). Honestly, we have always experienced a very family friendly atmosphere. Sometimes too many kids everywhere having fun 😂 but there are a few areas like the Solarium, for adults only. Even then, Royal will make exceptions to accommodate families! It will be interesting for us to experience Utopia and Icon in a few months to experience ourselves! 😊 I was under the impression that Icon has a lot of family friendly areas especially!! 😊

[@GetbyZach]

Honestly, there are a ton of events for families as well including parties on the Boardwalk, Studio B, etc. You can easily avoid the parties with families.

[@mistygreen549]

This has me nervous! I have booked this for a family Christmas cruise. The kids are young. Do you think it will be too wild at Christmas?

[@GetbyZach]

If you avoid the pool parties, you'll be able to escape most of the "party atmosphere" because the rest are confined to designated times and spaces.

[@michellekelly5522]

Same. Bringing the family Dec 27-30. Not overly worried as they won't be up at midnight and we will just skip the pool when it is wild. So much to do on the pool.

[@shirleycompitello3167]

MSC is a horrible cruise line IMO!!

[@Juancarlo4342]

Msc yatch club, best thing at sea.

[@lovecruising3010]

The icon had the whole end of the ship and other areas for children. The kids still have their own separate area. I have kids and grandkids and sometimes I felt like RC was just catering to the kids🤷‍♀️

[@Kayw434]

Yes!

[@roberthuss]

The Freestyle machine has Mr. Pibb which is Coke's version of Dr. Pepper.

[@DaBigChicken101]

Going tomorrow! Let’s go cruising❤

[@ChristyColloms]

What kind of Couch is that? It is awesome.

[@beckers68]

This ship sounds a bit inappropriate, especially for families. Thank you for your review, we will probably try another ship for our cruise.

[@Kayw434]

Kyle, you are the reason we check in each day!! We appreciate your comments, expressions, enthusiasm, and positive energy!! 😊 Great series!! Thank you for the review!! 👏 We are excited to be sailing on Utopia in October and Icon a few months later!! Please do some research in regard to SW. We hope you don’t support SW by visiting the animal/mammal attractions and stick to the rides only if you feel pressured into going. We’ve been very loyal supporters up until the SW video. It is a deal breaker. We really love you and your family!! ❤

[@candicelind3311]

We got the adult snow cone from the Wipe Out Bar…Unique to Utopia

[@kathleenswarm8564]

My opinion about an Oasis class ship is you need at least 7 days to really experience that large a ship. Maybe a back to back would be the way to go? It seems to me RC is doing these 3-4 day trips to make money. You might buy the drink package for 3-4 days but 7 days gets really expensive. Also they are trying to get a younger crowd. As you said trying to get the Virgin crowd. Don't think it will work. Virgin is now advertizing adults can bring their adult children 18-26 yrs free!! Now that is hard ri beat.

[@nellietuiasosopo5694]

I miss lora!

[@sherrimcconnell936]

Dr. Pepper is actually a Snapple product. I know all the other freestyle machines on Royal has Dr. Pepper because that is my drink of choice and have gotten it on the other ships.

[@xlplayzz]

Going october 18, thanks for showing us!

[@Sandstorm-109]

Hi from Queensland, Australia. 🎉🎉

[@CarolynTorre]

Didn't the Cruise compass mention open house at the Mason Jar?

[@doneyandassociates]

I hope you go back to Disney and Universal. I was thoroughly unimpressed with the cruise. Every vlogger I watch was shut out of the only dining experience on the ship.

[@suziequeue2]

Views and Queues hit the railroad car dining. You had to go straight there since it was the first cruise. Sounds like you can book ahead in future.

[@s3ph300]

The only downfall of Royal doing short 3 & 4 day trips with this ship. Doesn't leave many available "slots" to get people in to experience the Railway dining. I imagine you'll be fighting to get a slot for quite some time. Even when you can start booking it ahead.
