Utopia of the Seas FOR FREE??? Royal Caribbean's Newest Ship

I'm cruising with Utopia of the Seas!
Although Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas remains the largest cruise ship in the world, the Utopia of the Seas; launching July 19th, will be the newest ship to join the fleet. I am lucky enough to be invited as part of a casino comp to cruise from Port Canaveral to Nassau and Coco Cay in August of 2024, and I'm so excited to show you the ship! #cruise #cruiseline #utopiaoftheseas

I know you said you plan on doing a "what's different tour" but I hope you do a full ship tour for people who have never cruised or never cruised royal. It may seem repetitive, but you'd be shocked how many new viewers it'll help! Been watching your videos all day my friend & enjoy the content ❤ Much Love - Megan

[@pattieb8214]

You have always been Diamond Status with your viewers Morgan. 🥰 I'm so glad you are getting this fantastic cruise for a great price. That's a good friend! Thank you for presenting information, tips, and reviews in a down to earth and honest fashion. You are a rarity.

[@jasonlangdon5141]

You always make us chuckle... "stay right on the ship" is our motto for several ports.

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

Haha! What are some other ports you usually stay on for?

[@MustangErin]

I can attest to the deals casino players can get. The cruise my husband and I are taking in Nov is a 17 day transatlantic, $411 CDN each in a mini suite. And the on board credit we are receiving is more than the cost of our cruise. So they are technically paying us to cruise.

[@kirkl0766]

Dude it costs 40 bucks for lunch at Arbys. So 119 is super cheap.😂

[@ReadytoGoMelissa]

Hi Morgan, the cruise port in Nassau has been completely revamped. Might be worth getting off the ship for an hour or so to check it out and show it off to us 😊

[@SpeedNoodles]

You don't really have to book the drink package for both people in the room. If one can't or doesn't drink alcohol, you just need to call Royal Caribbean directly. They will require the person not purchasing the alcohol package to purchase the Refreshment Package. It's done all of the time. :-)

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

Ah, ok. Good to know, Speednoodles. I think there was a time where it was required, and I can understand why they had it that way, (in order to prevent the "cheaters"). Thank you for your kind way of correcting me.

[@SpeedNoodles]

@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides Minnesotans stick together.

[@TravelwithEbby]

I heard Royal is now cracking down on that and not allowing it anymore.. so I guess it’s a hit or miss if they let you do that still.

[@happycruiser]

Celebrity cruises will not allow that. We tried...no go...

[@dearmepa1]

@@TravelwithEbbywe asked due to medical problems with MD documentation and we were declined.

[@lorenadugan6355]

The new fun casual dining or small entertainment venues. Have fun.

[@Funsizecruiser]

I'm so excited to also be sailing on Utopia mid-Sept, '24 with a lrg group from our neighborhood here in NE, FL! We will once again be visiting the newly opened Hideaway Beach (Adults Only whoo hoo!!). That's right I'll be "Balling It" there for my 2nd time. Looking forward to this new gorgeous ship and also seeing what tips you can give us after your sailing. Congrats on your Diamond Level! Enjoy the high seas!!

[@gardenia1953]

Morgan this is SanDee. We met on the pool deck today when I spotted you. It was a delight and surprise to meet you. Sorry I was eating and ice cream cone and it was melting! 🤪. We did the Utopia Railway last night and loved it! I have been in this ship since Fri. So much fun! Enjoy your vacation and trip to see your family.

[@debbie8935]

I really like CocoCay, but have never done the water park or any extras. I hear the adults only area is fantastic.

[@breadyegg]

That footage of you at cococay when you were 12 is just adorable.

[@suelelievre5513]

We just went over to see the ship when it came into port this week. It looks beautiful! Have a great time, and we can't wait to hear all about it.

[@kathevanlerberg8651]

Morgan, you are aging backwards! That throwback was eye opening! Thanks for always being so entertaining!

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

You're very welcome! You think I look younger now than I did in the older video??? Maybe it's time for some new glasses :-)

[@billcook4768]

But he has a portrait in his attic that somehow does age.

[@debbie8935]

Coffee card isn't a bad price. I bought it once and I believe it was for 10 specialty coffees at the Promenade coffee shop. Maybe even in the dining room

[@carolynk.9856]

I really like that they offer separated drink packages!

[@kristenp7515]

I had not heard about the Royal Railway! Interesting!!

[@heathermichael3987]

Please post during your cruise , the ship is beautiful 🤩.

[@michellebull9184]

You and your friend should do a thorough Casino tour showing us exactly what games they have. 😊💫

[@dearmepa1]

No photos or videos are permitted in the casinos.

[@mayavandoorn261]

Have a great trip Morgan!

[@billcook4768]

Fortunately, I’ve never felt a compulsion to sail on a brand new ship. I’m fine with slightly older, certainly cheaper ship where - presumably - they’ve worked out all the kinks. Thankfully we’ve got people like you to show us what they are like.

[@lisaanderson8235]

I feel the same way! 🛳️👍

[@machellep1]

Good friend , have fun!

[@JanetGoesSomewhere]

Other cruise vloggers (like B&D, LLL-Tony, Don, D&J, EECC) - seem to all be getting inaugural (or soon after) cruises completely comp’d (or at least seem that way). Why aren’t the cruise lines extending the same to you for these, Morgan?

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Wow now thats a lovely offer 😜 have a wonderful time utopia looks amazing saw the footage of her arriving 😊

[@kgates4220]

Would be interested in Room Service video from this mega ship.

[@danasandoval624]

I hope they put the train car restaurant on other ships. I would pay $119 for that it’s like a dinner theater. Coco Cay is not like a theme park there are no rides except the train. Yes the cabanas are ridiculous expensive. The island is very nice & we love stopping there. We have always had good food while we were there too. Have a great cruise.

[@dancooper41]

Congrats on the almost free cruise! I’d like to see the Aqua Show, if there is one.

[@Rebecca-zp4gm]

Hi, you need to check out Jordan Bauth and the ice cast on that ship.

[@shawnmccroskey447]

First RC cruise on this on October. I wanna see the thermal suite. Enjoy!

[@veronicak5300]

We will be on the same sailing as you on a casino comp! So excited!

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

Please say hi!

[@veronicak5300]

Yes we will keep our eyes out for you​@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides

[@gandjconway30]

See if you can catch up with Jordan Bauth - she is a fellow travel blogger and is one of the pro ice skaters premiering the new Studio B ice show on Utopia

[@meikethomen8812]

Aida has got an entertainment restaurant called "Time Machine" on 2 of their ships. It costs about 30 Euros per person including food and drinks. And it is worth it because it is really fun. Judging from the pictures you showed, I don't think the experience on the Utopia is so much different (except of the theming, perhaps). 119 $ is really a lot.

[@kmarshie]

Casino Royale Offer. going on Utopia in November, balcony cabin for $300 for 2 adults

[@rasferrastfarian739]

I'm looking forward to your tour of Utopia Morgan. Being an Aussie, a drinks package for us is a no brainer because of the exchange rate! Nothing to do with how many drinks, its pure financial sense to get it. Eg. 4 cocktails on Quantum (our next cruise) is $15-00 USD that's 24-60 AUD! The drinks package on a buy one get one half price is $125-00 AUD. We only need 4 cocktails a day to pay for it and we like coffee and always drink bottled water with our drinks.

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

And I'm looking forward to showing it to you :-P

[@karenbible6693]

We need a good casino walk around!

[@markbrownbandfan]

I'm on that same cruise and I'll be hosting a meet and greet at pesky parrot at 230 on the 5th. Come say helllo.

[@feelosophy1921]

$85 doesn't sound bad to me, but when we travel or dine out we tend to be okay with the price if we get what we want and have great service. 😋🍹

[@mauricemosley8380]

So excited for you Morgan.

[@sherrjo]

BTW you can't really compare Wonder to Utopia as you will have a much better experience on Utopia. The LNG engines have removed a lot of cabins. On wonder there are 6988 passenger berths compared to 5668 on Utopia so nearly 1300 less passengers. However there is more or less the same amount of crew so the crew to passenger rating is much better on Utopia. If you can't choose between the two (and price isn't an object :) ) then go with Utopia.

[@juliewilson3237]

I love watching videos on new ships but I’d never want to go on one . Too expensive and too many problems that need to be ironed out !! Looking forward to watching you Morgan , wish I had a useful generous friend like that !!! 😂😜

[@AJ-Playz]

I'm on the same cruise!

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

Please come say hi if you see me!

[@TheRecon1a]

Wow so a Balcony 4 night for 2 guest $3200? Uh...Naw son. That's a little less than what I paid for 2- 7night cruises.

[@TravelwithEbby]

I never cruise during summer months! Way too expensive and on a new ship!im going in December and our inside cabin for 2 came to 1200 total and that’s with gratuities added. Thats in my price range lol i dont mind inside cabins! I took your advice and got the one on the 7th floor down the hall from a shared balcony! Great advice! Thanks! lol

[@coleenbrennen487]

Can you show us the crown lounge ? I’m also going to be a Diamond member by the time I go on Utopia, so will be the first time I get access to the lounge lol

[@darrengibson7739]

Mason Jar I’m dying to know how the food is

Luckyduck.

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

I'm very happy!

[@HeicoHomburg]

It took me less than 5 minutes to figure out that by the time you uploaded your first Coco Cay video, there were at least 10 others.

[@lorenadugan6355]

Be sure you book the train for dinner. If you wait, you may not get I

[@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides]

Too expensive!
