Why is Utopia of the Seas not getting the same media attention?

- Royal Caribbean's 6th Oasis-class ship, Utopia of the Seas, is launching exactly 3 months from today, on July 19, 2024, but it isn't getting as nearly the same media attention as Icon of the Seas. In this video I share details why that is and would love your thoughts. Be sure to Like and Subscribe!

Already booked twice on this ship. They had good deals in the $200- $300s.
Nice! You’re going to have a great time!
Omg really? Did you book through an agent?
Me to 😊
Just came back from the Icon a week ago, have the Utopia in October and Oasis in November! Can't wait!!
Nice! Glad you had a great time on Icon! Utopia and Oasis are going to be a blast for sure 😊 Thank you for watching!
I’m looking forward to it I love oasis class ships. I booked in August for 3 nights on my bday but it was stressing me out only getting 3 nights so I booked a back to back. Ended up being a little less than what prices are now going for a 7 night.
Nice! Perfect way to celebrate your birthday 🥳 Have an amazing time and thank you for watching 😊
I think it’s not getting a lot of attention. It’s because it’s only a three or four day cruise ship. It’s not a seven day cruise ship.
Good point, Charles! 3 and 4 day cruises aren't as enticing to most seasoned cruisers. I think Royal is trying to attract a new market of first time cruisers with these short sailings so that could be another reason why! I would be all over a 7-nighter like I was for Wonder and Icon! Thanks for watching!
It will be a success, there will be a lot of people out there they don’t want to spend 7 days and prefer 3-4 max and also experience the new Big ship. It’s easy for RC to charge current oasis class 7 day trip price to these 3-4 day cruise and lot of people will easily fall for it (both parties will be happy).
Wonder next year is turning into a 3/4 night cruise. As for Utopia, I don't think it was initially planned to have another oasis ship. Wonder was supposed to be the last in the fleet.
I booked utopia as soon as it was announced last summer, for this coming September. While we can’t do everything on the boat in 3 days, it is nice to have a variety of options to fit every one’s preferences. Now if they could just increase capacity of childcare, we parents could start really enjoying the evenings.
Awesome! You’re going to love this brand new ship! The 3-day will be a nice appetizer and then perhaps can come back for a 4-nighter or even do back to back which most folks are doing for 7 nights. Be sure to check their Adventure Ocean kids program offerings and the timing, our daughter loved it on Icon. On our cruise she could stay there from 10pm-1am for $10 per hour, but we never took advantage of that since it was super late, she was with us every evening to take it all in 😊 Thanks for watching!
@@CruisingWithJTmy last two royal cruises the nursery was always full, I am a plan as we go type and not the type to book all hour hours in advance. Luckily she’s 3 soon!
It’s cool that it’s under the radar, means some good deals are available. Just booked a fairly well priced balcony. Back to back bookings allow some package flexibility too.
Very true! That’s awesome you scored a great deal! 😊 Appreciate you watching!
HAPPY FRIDAY JT CHEERS! 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
Utopia of the seas I can’t wait to take a vacation on it one day! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think since it is not a brand new class of ship, there is not much more to report. They may still be making decisions. I think once they are further in the build process we things are set in stone we will see and hear more. I want to know which water slides will be included, how many pools and jacuzzis will be on board (not including Coco Cay) and would love to see the actual cabins
Thank you for your perspective! I agree with you and am looking forward to more updates as well 😊 Appreciate you watching!

Great points! Completely agree with this too! It’s nice to get different perspectives 😊 Thank you for watching!
I got a balcony for two on the 4 night for 900 and change. I then got 175 on board credit and dinner for two at a specialty restaurant. Then i got a 50.00 credit for something. i can't even remember. We are going Sept 16
Very nice! Looks like you scored a great deal! Have fun! 🤩
September can’t wait
Have a great time!
I’m sealing on the Wonder’s big sister this December 😊
Nice! You're going to have a fantastic time :) Thanks for watching!
It's not enough sail days JT. I think that's why it's not getting media attention. Avid cruisers don't want a 3/4 night cruise. New cruisers aren't pulling the trigger to get on. Eventually, i believe this will go to 7 days.
That’s very true, although I heard they are going to make Wonder of the Seas do 3 and 4 night cruises as well as Utopia of the Seas. Not sure I’m a fan of that…
we are booked for October and I can't wait. The prices aren't cheap but its apparent to me they are trying to attract the long-weekend crowd. The weeklong cruisers (which we usually are) are not going to do the Utopia and that's fine. This is going to grab the last minute, in state cruisers. Norwegian doesn't offer shorties, Carnival does on older ships. This is a good time for RC to get into the Florida-short cruise market. By the way, there is a simulated Train dining car on this ship and we are 107 days from our cruise yet they won't let us make reservations for that particular venue. Interesting.
Great insights and perspective, Bill. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully your train dining experience becomes available soon. I’m not sure if you heard but Wondee of the Seas will also be doing three and four day sailings from Miami starting August 2025. So that means their two newest Oasis-class ships will be offering three and four nighters! If only I lived in Florida 😂
@@CruisingWithJT Oasis of the Seas is already doing 3 and 4's. Gives us Floridians a lot of choices. Of course the geography of the state makes certain ports more desirable than others. I live Central Fla. so Miami is five hours away, Tampa three, Ft. Lauderdale four hours and Pt. Canaveral only an hour and a half. You know where we are leaving from? That's right, Pt. Canaveral.
@@billwings2 That's amazing! It's like me here in Seattle, only an hour away from our port, but we don't have Oasis-class. Sounds like you're in for some fun cruising in the future :)
I think it’s not getting a lot of attention because the cruise ship is not offering more days of cruising people want to cruise more days while they vacation 😊😊❤
Good points! I agree that having a longer cruise offering is likely to entice more folks :)
@@CruisingWithJT Thanks 😊
Maybe because it's so big of a ship that 3-4 days isn't going to cut it? Are they forcing us to take back to back cruises?
I think that’s a real good reason, plus Utopia isn’t a new class. Most folks I know we doing b2b cruises, rare to do 3 or 4 nights especially if you’re coming from far away.
Going on her in February hopefully
Woohoo! 🎉
Probably because old features and to little days
Good points and very true! Appreciate you watching 😊
I live in Florida and won’t take this ship for another two or three years because it’s just too expensive. I’ll let people like yourself sail and pay top dollar on this ship and work out the bugs and possibly complaints this way it would be ready for me after the the new car smell.
Totally makes sense! I know many folks will be going on this one, I have no plans to go on it as of now 😊
@@CruisingWithJT 233 days until Adventure of the Seas.
@@SilverHonda0767 love Adventure! Went last summer 😊
@@CruisingWithJT Last year in 2023 on our first cruise it was only 168 mile drive to Port Canaveral sailing on independence of the seas. In a few more months will be driving to Port Canaveral again for adventures of the seas.
Leaving on Adventure in 4 days!! Very first cruise!😊
Because we have Icon class.
No need to make another Oasis class ships from 2024 on.
Icon definitely deserves all the attention! Utopia isn't the last Oasis-class ship, I heard there is a 7th Oasis-class ship coming in the future! Appreciate you watching and commenting :)
She's not getting enough attention because Icon exists at this point.
Yes that’s true but I think that will slowly change soon, folks have seen Icon and now want to know all about Utopia! Thanks for watching 😊
The reason i believe, just another oasis ship...too many imo
There are quite a few 😄 Thanks for watching!
Because it’s the 6th in a class they’ve been making for a decade and a half and doesn’t break any records? Icon was a first… it’s not a difficult question at all. The answer is extremely obvious.
