Duplicate, sorry!

Does anyone know or has it been reported at what capacity the Utopia will be sailing to start? When I ghost book the selection is pretty much just guaranteed offerings. @twangster, @Matt, any thoughts?

Seems like a nice day to stay on the ship!

Dear @FirePantyPop and @CravingaCruise. Please know I appreciate your honest experiences, I always prefer true reports as opposed to those who have something to gain from their report. Please keep the honesty coming as when we do book X in the future we will have expectations grounded in reality. I'm enjoying sailing with you!! If X is one and done for us it will be because we didn't feel our experience warranted another but again our expectations will be realistic. Beyond is beautiful and honestly I will book the Retreat guarentee most likely as well. To clarify...we are vegetable eaters but not vegan and hubby usually wears Greg Norman shorts to dinner....I to will have to pack some slacks **as an aside I watched a Harr Travel video on the last cabin we stayed in, he was stupid giddy about how big the closet was.....it wasn't and I was shocked. The storage was actually lacking. I just don't actually love surprises like that

I was thinking this exact same thing this morning!

This has answered so many questions for me. Just to confirm the dress code is respected? Men in long slacks or they turn you away? Cabosh is the same shorts almost 24/7 so this is excellent information. Thanks so much!

Will do! We are bringing her Cheetos as well! I sent a nice email to Mr. Bayley about her warmth and skills. I hope they recognize her, they responded and said they would. I actually told her how her welcome email came across and she was so receptive, she said she was changing the red font to purple!

Agreed as well! Our very least favorite is French night. That onion soup looks well " not good" burnt cheese, just no! I third this emotion,

Here is our welcome letter when we stayed in that exact cabin on the Adventure. It clearly stated all the suite amenities. It's a very good thing you addressed this. Everyone sailing after you owes you gratitude and thanks!

And that's a wrap! We were just notified that the International Organization awarded kiddo this prestigious Diploma! Beyond amazed at how smart she is and how hard she worked. She starts University as a Sophmore being awarded 30 credits for this designation. So numb with joy

@Sweety how did you find out? Did it say expired? Did they email you? I was hoping you landed that upgrade. I wonder at what capacity she is sailing? Well I'm really glad you upgraded when you did, 6 points is so much better then 3! We will see you soon! * still no Royal Railway or entertainment listed yet. FYI I'm packed! I'm excited for this 3 night party.

The Royal App is finally showing the Coastal Kitchen menu for this sailing. Everything seems in line with Coastal across the fleet.

Speaking of piers, has anyone seen the new pier at the new DCL private Island? (Lighthouse Point) The reason I mention it is because it looks 4 X as long as the one at Coco Cay and most feedback is....ready? Why don't they copy Royal Caribbean private Island pier? They need to provide shade, they need to provide golf carts at the least! It's early yet but I thought it was cool they referenced "our" private Island. Just put a smile across my face, happy Island hopping all!

I just checked in for this sailing, we are in an owners suite this time. We were fortunate to book the OS on the starboard hump as the balcony will be quite a shock after the RS we just enjoyed. This is an itinerary we are looking forward to as we have never been to Grand Turk or Bermuda, our last day is Coco Cay. We booked easy RC excursions to tour the Islands to get a feel for them, with Bermuda being overnight we will also go out on our own. (Hamilton Boat Excursion & West End trolley ride in Bermuda, we rented electric "Hummers" in Grand Turk for a group tour follow the leader type of thing.) There are zero suites left to book and my RUB was one opportunity, for the RS. I can't imagine whomever booked this cabin would not show as it's a great sailing in that beautiful cabin. We have sailed the Adventure previously in the 2 bedroom aft suite & the RS so we are looking forward to the OS (I think) I'm looking at video's & it looks like I'm going to have more storage in this cabin for sure & there is a decent table for in room MDR dinner dining. I'm requesting a table for the 3 of us on deck 4 at the railing looking down onto deck 3 this time for a different MDR experience. Embarkation lunch will be at JR's as while Chop's was okay last time, it was just okay. I'm just not a fan of the venue & they sat every table on top of each other, it was weird and so not necessary. I mean we did meet some nice people but it was pretty cringe at first...excuse my butt while I try to squeeze into this chair on top of your table while you are enjoying your apps! I'll pop in here if there is anything to report but not live blogging this one. 45 days to go!

@wordell1 I was thinking about you & your celebration sailing! Congratulations to your son I believe he has graduated if I'm not mistaken. You treated him and his friends to the sailing on the Harmony, correct? I LOVE that! I am so glad you had fantastic weather, was it stressful having multiple teens when you are used to your son who is well versed in cruising? I LOVE that you did that for the kiddo, well fine young man now! Oh how fast they grow up! Sorry for the hijack @OCSC Mike but I was lurking around waiting for @wordell1 to appear! Have an amazing summer all!

When we sail and dine in the MDR we always bring our first beverage with us. While you can always get it from your servers I find this works well for us. The servers are spread thin, I don't like to mess with their timing. Usually when they have a handle on their tables they will ask if you would like another of whatever you are drinking. Caveat the assistant waiter usually pours water right away so if that is all you want it's there fast.

I looked up a 2 bedroom suite on your ship, there is a very nice table for 4 on that huge balcony! I would personally order with the concierge or see if there's a special MDR phone number and get the MDR favorites delivered to your cabin for dinner! * ask for a table cloth for the table as well, it elevates this dining al fresco big time. Gazing at your port, enjoying the ones you love in the privacy of your own cabin after an amazing day....priceless! FYI if you enjoy the bread request the bread, we had 2 as Cabosh is a bread eater. We ordered extra apps as well and it was easier then the MDR. I can't stress enough, get that table cloth. We couldn't believe how wonderful this was.

Thank you for sharing the nightmare. Because of reading situations like yours my spread sheets have never been better and my final payments are always at least a week early. Finally my great TA is in our corner, @Sharla. It stressed me to read about your ordeal and like you find it mind blowing that such a huge company can be this deficient in this area. My last price adjustment and then upgrade due to the amazing price reduction resulted in a demand for about $300.00 more for the deposit, a head scratcher and Sharla was going to fight it.....but I wanted that cabin and honestly it's stories like these that give me pause. Pay now, pay later I'd have to pay eventually so I had her just pay it, I'm not wanting to play the Royal roulette with my sailing. My reservation is still in tact but sometimes I think how in the heck can it be so hard? I wish for you an amazing sailing, celebrating your daughter's accomplishments and lots of warm wonderful family time! I keep hoping one day the suites programs will align and we won't have to play these games between ships!

Congratulations!! What a beautiful family you are. Many well wishes and huge successes to your newly minted graduate!!

I actually enjoy Walmart shopping. It feels better and hits different when I can pay less for something that costs more at Publix! Early in the day the deli is a ghost town, we are huge fans of their Honey Maple Turkey and Garlic and Herb chicken breast! I digress, Yes, I'm not sure if that's Chip or Dale but we cruised DCL exclusively while kiddo was younger and your guess is spot on! While Disney is in our past I still smile at my old school Disney " stuff" and memories. It's Chip! He has his name on his hat, gees! So happy to be back on 17! CK I missed you!

Okay, I'm ready for my 3 night sailing! Walmart had me covered. $6.00 roll back, woohoo!! Cabosh will carry it on for me!

@OCSC Mike thank you for the heads up! While an exciting new offering the price seems disproportionate in my humble opinion to the offerings but that said I understand this is an "experience" To this end I'm wondering if this experience will trigger my motion sickness? Anyone have any thougts on this? In my later years I've become super sensitive. ie. Forget being a passenger in the car and reading, just awful. That being said I really like that Royal is thinking outside the box with new offerings!

I just saw this on the app. If there is no tentative schedule I'm just going to ask the suite concierge if there's a welcome letter to shoe horn us in for everything. Then I'll work around that. Hoping for your RUB so you get the welcome letter also. Shows will probably be released closer to sailing, but I'm still crazy curious as to the capacity for the inaugural. If I ghost book 3 guests it doesn't take it. Only 2 to a cabin at this point. Anyone have any idea?

It's me again! I'm curious as the booking page is only showing one 1 bedroom aqua suite on 14 available to book under the suites area. Does anyone know at what capacity this first cruise is sailing? Still can't book entertainment and with this only being a 3 night I don't want to miss my biggies, the ice show and the Aqua show. Maybe we won't need reservations?
