Utopia of the Seas first impressions: Weekend vibes happen any day ending in “y”
Sometimes a quick getaway can make that daily grind seem less daunting. Without having to deal with the hassles of airport chaos or endless traffic jams, it is time to take to the water and let those waves carry away all the stress. On Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas, the weekend vibes are in full effect, even on a Monday morning.
Recently, Utopia of the Seas set out from Florida’s Port Canaveral on its Naming Cruise. As excited special guests boarded the Oasis Class ship, the atmosphere set the tone for the short duration cruise. It was time to embrace the moment, leave the cares behind, and live your best life.
Dubbed the World’s Biggest Weekend, the three-night event showcased what this short-cruise experience is meant to be. The time duration might be finite, but the fun is never ending. From the person who wants to stay up till the sun rises to the person who dances the day away at the pool, there is an activity, experience, and event that fits any and all travel personalities.
Given that Royal Caribbean has embraced and epitomizes the ultimate multi-generational vacation, the Oasis Class ship ensures that everyone and anyone can find their niche on board. From the guest who craves attention to the person who prefers the serenity of the Solarium, there is a lounge chair waiting for them.
Utopia of the Seas food and beverages flavor the Weekend Vibe experience
While activities fill the hours, the food and beverage team is the heart of the Utopia of the Seas experience. The combination of favorite dining experiences with innovative takes on food trends and eatertainment creates a bounty of flavorful memories.
For example, the new Royal Railway Utopia Station is a well-crafted eatertainment venue that appeals to all ages. From the younger guest who will be engaged with the storyline to the food focused cruiser who will crave another glass of that sarsaparilla old fashion, it proves that Royal Caribbean can cater to all demographics without compromising its vision.
Even more appealing is the Pesky Parrot. For some guests, it might be the first, and last, stop on board. That Caribbean tiki bar proves that a pina colada can be innovative. It is good to see the uber popular cocktail get a little twist. It is just one example of the “cheeky” twists to this special offering.
In some ways, that playfulness is key to the overall Utopia of the Seas experience. One moment guests can enjoy the classic pageantry of the Main Dining room to then be later sitting a spell in the rocking chairs of Mason Jar. It is not a one size sits all scenario, but it is an inclusive experience that offers a little bit of everything.
Even the choice of Meghan Trainor as the ship’s Godmother leans into the overall vibe that Royal Caribbean wants to convey. Just like her music appeals to a wide demographic, she appreciates that mom, dad, kids, and grandparents can come together to enjoy that getaway. As she said several times during her concert, she and her whole family were having the best time ever.
Whether guests want to eat, drink, or dance their vacation away, Utopia of the Seas has it all and its packed into that short vacation experience. Grab that weekend bag, passport, and a sense of adventure. Weekend getaway vibes are here, and they can happen any day that ends in “y.”
