Introduction

Welcome to our first look at the Utopia of the Seas cruise ship. After spending seven hours exploring Royal Caribbean’s newest vessel, I’m thrilled to share the highlights and unique features that set this ship apart.

Unveiling Utopia of the Seas: What to Expect

The Pesky Parrot: A Vibrant New Tiki Bar

The first venue you encounter on Utopia of the Seas is the Pesky Parrot, a lively tiki bar with a digital backdrop that transports you to a beach paradise. This venue, replacing the Bionic Bar, offers a vibrant atmosphere with delicious piña coladas.

Culinary Delights: Izumi and Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen

Izumi stands out with its massive space, featuring hibachi tables, sushi tables, and a new omakase table, offering a unique Japanese dining experience. Meanwhile, Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen, now located on Decks 11 and 12, provides stunning views and outdoor dining, enhancing its already great menu.

Luxurious Pool Deck and Enclosed Solarium

Utopia’s pool deck boasts a giant aqua park, wide-open pools, and a multi-story Lime and Coconut Bar, incorporating the best features from around the fleet. The enclosed adults-only solarium ensures comfortable temperatures, making it a perfect relaxation spot.

New Dining Experience: The Spare Tire

On the pool deck, The Spare Tire food truck offers quick and delicious options like Chipotle chicken sandwiches and Mediterranean veggie wraps, catering to guests enjoying the pool without needing to go inside.

Ultimate Abyss: The Longest Slide at Sea

Utopia of the Seas features the Ultimate Abyss, the longest slide at sea, extended by 43 feet. This thrilling slide promises new surprises and excitement for adventurous guests.

Game-Changing Destination Elevators

The destination elevators, first introduced on Icon of the Seas, significantly reduce wait times, enhancing the overall cruise experience.

Stunning Central Park and Enhanced Venues

Central Park remains a serene area on the ship, with venues like Chops Grille and 150 Central Park offering refreshed looks and delightful dining experiences.
