I just made it back from my 50th birthday celebration Friday. It was the best birthday present I have ever had. The entertainment was Vegas style and the accommodations were superb, as well as the food being on point too! Those oxtails were bussin'. Way better than Carnival to me. The entire time I didn't know there were a total of 7000 people on board. It never felt crowded. Best cruise ever!!🎉😊
My family traveled on Utopia during the Thanksgiving holiday week it was amazing- the food was great and the staff was super nice- 10 out of 10 would recommend-we had a stateroom 135 long walk from everything but low noise -
Just got off the Utopia yesterday! Cannot wait to go back! The hideaway is our favorite spot! We've been 3 times as well and the pool is lit the beach was cold so the pool being heated is a plus! And Lynette is correct! The drinks are Skrong!!! Green tea shots and the sparkling blue Hawaiian was everything! Our sailing was sponsored by Twisted Tea i think that was on the jumbo tron and i didnt see any LOL This video is 100% accurate!
I was waiting on y’all’s review! We’re going on our sailing this month & I wanted an honest opinion. It will serve as my daughter’s birthday cruise so we’re looking to have a great time with her cousins. Thanks for sharing! ❤
My daughter and I just sailed Utopia October 21st -25th the week before my B-Day and we LOVED it! So much so my daughter booked the same cruise next year to celebrate my birthday (a month early! She ROCKS!) You are sooo right about Ricky! He seemed to be EVERYWHERE at the same time! LOL! We missed a lot of his in-person events, but caught them on replay on the TV in our cabin. Our cabin was an ocean view and it was super quiet where we was. The party was constant in the other areas though. We spent a lot of time in the solarium. So quiet and relaxing. The shows sell out quick. We never got to see the Aqua Show or to experience the railway dining... Sold out. The "All That" show was good, but so long I fell asleep. The skating show was PHENOMENAL and I too was shook by the guy on the chairs! I even loved movie night in the Aqua Arena (we saw Ghostbusters 3😁!) I can't wait to get back! Great review! Thank you🎉😁!
This was my first cruise and I enjoyed it. To be honest , your videos are why I finally said yes. I didn’t really care for the drinks I picked so, I went back to my normal which is Hen & pineapple juice and they did it right. I’ll try the ones you guys talked about next time. Didn’t know about that Caribbean night…a must next time. We did the three days since this was my first time but, I felt it was short. Four is a must. Don’t know if you guys like philippine food but, they have a spot called Manila Grill you should check out next time you’re in the Bahamas. Thank you guys for getting me on a ship.
Sailed on Utopia on August 19th as a graduation present to myself and your video review is spot on. Love this ship and sleep was minimal. Had a blast on this sailing, a continuous party. Great video review. Keep up the good work.
I’ve only sail with Carnival and have been REALLY wanting to sail with Royal Caribbean… I’m just gonna follow Y’ALL’s itinerary when I do!! I LOVED The Island Post when we were in the Bahamas last!!! Coco Cay it IS then!!!
I just got back from a 4 day carnival cruise to Nassau/Half Moon Cay out of Miami a couple of weeks ago.. We had a great time, but that was only because it was my birthday and we made some good connections onboard. This cruise seems like it was amazinggggg and I’m only at the 6:47 mark 😭😭 definitely have to try RC soon.
My husband and I just got off Utopia on 11/15 (4 day). Mason Jar was awesome! Hot food and was quick. Fried Oreos and husband had the Apple Pie old fashioned.
Was on this ship for the weekend of the 15th for my birthday. We truly enjoyed ourselves and the silent toga party on the last night was a great ending.
We sailed 11/8- 11/10 on a family group cruise including our children (5&7) we ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT so much we booked another one for their 4 day Nov 2025.
I always book my cabin with the balcony on the ocean. Central Park and Boardwalk is too loud. Solarium has a Bistro that is Brazilian Style Delicious! What the crab cakes were good? They are never good. I will have to order them in December Christmas cruise.
Me and my wife are on this ship February 28th.....this video was extremely helpful!!!! Its been my experience the bars by the pool serve drinks that are good but not as strong but the "specialty bars" mostly on the interior of the ship serve the stronger ones. But the cigar spot is definitely a must when im on this ship!!! And also Crazy Quest, i didn't get a chance to do it when I was on Allure. Definitely hittin up twin brothers and that bar in the port.....man i gotta keep this video as a reference!!! I appreciate it, we all appreciate Lynette and Stanleyyyyyyyyyy💯💯💯💯 good lookin out yall!!
Hello LifeWithUsTV This was a great review! My husband and I just cruised on Utopia enjoyed this cruise and we also booked it at a great price as well. It was my Husband Birthday cruise we had a few little downs but nothing to make the cruise not good. I am working on posting our videos on our RUclips channel and look forward to our next cruise!
The cruise director was such a vibe, lol. I agree that Hideaway Bay was so much fun. If you book your cruise early, they have great sales on Hideaway Bay. I paid $35 for Hideaway Bay. The crazy quest was soooooo muchhhh fun. My sister took her wig off for that game. It was hilarious .
We sailed with Rickey on the Odyssey of the Seas in December 2023. As you said, he gets out and mingles with the passengers. As always, thank you, guys, for the great reviews.
Loved this review!! Thank you so much for it! We're headed on Utopia in May for my daughters 6th birthday. It looks like its gonna be a blast! I just had a question in regards to the drinks. When you say theyre expensive, how expensive we talkin?? We opted out of the drink package since i doubt we'll get our moneys worth travelin with our kids. Just wanna figure out our drink budget lol
Thank yall for the wonderful review im going on my first cruise through carnival sunrise next year in July 2025 and im currently looking at this brand new ship called STAR OF THE SEAS Royal Caribbean watching yall video help me and can yall share about the drink package next time on this royal Caribbean cruise
I always go to early dinner at the Mason Jar not brunch .. never had problem with food service taking long time. They also have late night food. The Pesky Parrot has great drinks (PainChiller) I like the atmosphere..
You two are my go to when I want an honest review. I appreciate and love you guys! I’m going on Wonder in January with the family and I’m super excited😊. I’m sad to see that Rickey is no longer a cruise director though. Do you know if he retired or just went to a different cruise ship/line?
The world's biggest weekend! Every day on a cruise ship is a vacation weekend day! The day one gets off, that's Monday. 😢 in cruise ship state of mind.
Please tell me more about the cigars under the stars. Is there an area near the solarium where you can smoke cigars at night? We’re going in the Christmas cruise in a few weeks.
I’m just seeing this AFTER we’re about to disembark off the Utopia. Ricky is no longer on the UoTS. He’s now on the Allure of the Seas. I was so disappointed. But we plan to return
Guys. Wish could copy & paste. The next video started and my comment went there 🤷🏻♀️🤦♀️. Anyway. Great insight. Looking forward to Hideway. Will be on the Odyssey in 12 days for our 7th and our besties 25th anniversary which I thought was Oasis class but it’s Quantum. Wondering if the Mason jar on there. V would love to try those old fashioned. Thanks so much and happy Thanksgiving 🍽🦃🍠🥬🌽🥧🤗
i want to go on a Royal Carribean cruise for the first time and i wanted to go on this ship but im mad that its only 3-4 nights only. i wanted around 7-8 nights
Royal Caribbean is a more conservative audience I’d say. My wife and I are primarily RCCL people. We are more conservative and maybe even reserved and we feel like we fit right in. We are open to other lines but Carnival and Virgin I think we would need to loosen up a little and not feel like we have to be so proper (for lack of a better word).
omg we went on symphony of the seas in September for our first royal and it was amazing but BUT the drinks were terrible. Got to the point I just started ordering Coronas
Ready to book in January but torn between utopia and allure. This will be our first time on a royal shit with two children. Which one do you guys recommend?
Mason jar is slow for no reason the food is not that great. I'm glad you had good cheesecake because the other day on Oasis of the Seas they weren't even using cream cheese it was some sort of white pudding. It was pretty nasty. I guess cream cheese prices have risen
I just made it back from my 50th birthday celebration Friday. It was the best birthday present I have ever had.

I've sailed with Ryan on Carnival!! He was amazing!!❤
Ricky is the star of any ship he get on! He is the vibe

We’re going too on that cruise

I love all your content and it is so informative. Please keep it going !!!

Great review, as always. Thanks🥰
Thank you for watching!
I always go to early dinner at the Mason Jar not brunch .. never had problem with food service taking long time. They also have late night food. The Pesky Parrot has great drinks (PainChiller) I like the atmosphere..
Just got off yesterday, miss it already 😢
We loved this ship!
Appreciate the review y'all two. Making plans for 2025 and this review has helped us make our choice. Utopia it is
We got Hideaway for $32 each. We loved the beach, spent most of our time there.
Oh that’s awesome. They charge the inflated price for the newest ships I noticed. They aren’t slick lol
Utopia is my very favorite ship. i have been on it twice and going again in January 2025
You two are my go to when I want an honest review. I appreciate and love you guys! I’m going on Wonder in January with the family and I’m super excited😊. I’m sad to see that Rickey is no longer a cruise director though. Do you know if he retired or just went to a different cruise ship/line?
Aww thank you. Ricky is now on Allure
Do you have any reviews on carnival?🥰
This entire channel is full of carnival teachings and content
OH WOW!!!! I MISSED YALL BY A HAIR! I WAS ON THE SEPT. 6TH SAILING. YALL WAS GETTING OFF, I WAS GETTING ON. I HAD MY CRUISE VIBES SHIRT ON TOO!
Oh wow fam! Dang
The world's biggest weekend! Every day on a cruise ship is a vacation weekend day! The day one gets off, that's Monday. 😢 in cruise ship state of mind.

Literally just booked Utopia for November 2025 🎉🍻🥃
I was thinking about doing this ship for my daughter's 16th birthday in April 2025. I am listening to how you are talking...ya'll from the DMV?
Absolutely! We from the DMV can’t hide it 😂😂
@@LifeWithUsTV No you can not!!!!
That dude that was on the chair was the cruise director for the only Royal cruise I’ve ever been on 😂😂
Ole Ricky is the best 🥰
Those beach balls are LIT! I didn't wanna leave.
They were so much fun, right?! Lol
How far was twin brothers fish fry from the port??
10 minutes
Here watching and thank you for sharing fam
You're welcome!
Loved the oxtails
Thank you 😊
When you said it was really LOUD ship , I was out lol 😂 that quick then you said from 10 AM , ITS A WRAP 😂🥴🥴 beautiful ship though
Lol.
If you're not getting the "sky juice" DRANK 😂 in the Bahamas, you are missing out. Try it next time.
@@PrettyInPeete sounds dangerous
Please tell me more about the cigars under the stars. Is there an area near the solarium where you can smoke cigars at night? We’re going in the Christmas cruise in a few weeks.
Yes it’s by the solarium
Did y'all experience any sea sickness? If so or not, what do you recommend to help with that?
I use sea bands each trip. Check out cruise must haves video
Queen you look different idk what it is but gorgeous!!!
Weight loss 🥰🥰
I’m just seeing this AFTER we’re about to disembark off the Utopia. Ricky is no longer on the UoTS. He’s now on the Allure of the Seas. I was so disappointed. But we plan to return
They bucked up with that one!! Shoulda kept him on the new ship
@@LifeWithUsTV facts! That new CD was trying but it wasn’t a Ricky vibe.
Guys. Wish could copy & paste. The next video started and my comment went there 🤷🏻♀️🤦♀️. Anyway. Great insight. Looking forward to Hideway.

Heyyy fam. Omgggg I hate when that happens because I’ve had it happen to me smh. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving as well and have fun on your trip.
i want to go on a Royal Carribean cruise for the first time and i wanted to go on this ship but im mad that its only 3-4 nights only. i wanted around 7-8 nights
Back to back
Whats the rule of thumb for passport ? It has to be not expired 6 month out when you leave and come back? Is that the rule for RC?
It’s calculated from the last day. Homeland security rules not the cruise line in this case.
Is Caribbean night offered on the 3 day cruises too????
Yes it is
What were the prices like at the Fish Fry? May try it on our Utopia cruise in Feb.
Typical tourist prices. Our meal that we shared was $70 ish but honestly 4 people could have eaten off of it.
@@LifeWithUsTV thank you.
Carnival no longer is doing Quest unfortunately
Royal Caribbean is a more conservative audience I’d say. My wife and I are primarily RCCL people. We are more conservative and maybe even reserved and we feel like we fit right in. We are open to other lines but Carnival and Virgin I think we would need to loosen up a little and not feel like we have to be so proper (for lack of a better word).
We would never book a Central Park area because of expected noice . We booked a interior and it was good
It’s usually quite as a mouse.
@ Really, then maybe my husband and I may consider it next time we sail. Thanks
Would you recommend Royal over Carnival?
It depends on the vibe I want
omg we went on symphony of the seas in September for our first royal and it was amazing but BUT the drinks were terrible. Got to the point I just started ordering Coronas
Thanks for all the tips and saving me from the Mason Jar!
I'm going for my birthday! I hope I get a towel cake
I thought it was too cute!
RC is the GOAT when it comes to entertainment. It is my favorite cruise line!
Is it only CHILLED seafood on the buffet?
Mostly
Ready to book in January but torn between utopia and allure. This will be our first time on a royal shit with two children. Which one do you guys recommend?
Utopia
I just sailed the allure in 3 weeks ago, was not impressed. Go with Utopia!!
I need more coins! to book
Good information 😊😊😊
I need to book me a Royal Caribbean cruise 🚢 in 2025!!!!!!
Ayeeee tap in ✔️
Mason jar is slow for no reason the food is not that great. I'm glad you had good cheesecake because the other day on Oasis of the Seas they weren't even using cream cheese it was some sort of white pudding. It was pretty nasty. I guess cream cheese prices have risen
Oh my word . Wow
Do guys buy the drink package or al a cart
We purchased it on this sailing only because the drinks are so expensive.
I am going October 2025,do they have any vegan options in food
Yes they do
ROYAL CARIBBEAN is top tier. I love the service. Carnival is ghetto.
We don't do that over here. In that case its Ghetto on Royal too because the same ish happens there too.
@LifeWithUsTV royal caribbean doesn't use dogs to sniff bags....yeah CARNIVAL is ghetto.
Royal should because the weed be in full effect on every ship we’ve been on. All the way down to the Icon. But… stereotype as you will.
Caipirinha is a brazilian drink.
Hey Y'all 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾🫡
Sorry, you can not cruise out of Orlando, Florida!
