My Top 5 Favorite Things about the Utopia of the Seas

​5. Central Park: In the middle of the exciting energy onboard Utopia of the Seas is a quiet and serene area called Central Park. Adorned with live plants and unique sculptures, this is a great place to have coffee and snack during the day or a glass of wine and listen to live music in the evening. Our room even had a view of Central Park.

4. Live music: All around the ship you will find several spaces with live music especially in the evening. From Latin music in Boleros to smooth jazz in Central Park. One night there was a steel drum band playing above the promenade  and I also enjoyed the pianist in Schooner Bar. So many venues to enjoy live music and entertainment.

3. The Deluxe Drink package: While I was really undecided about purchasing this due to the cost, the package went down to a very reasonable price before the cruise so I decided to get it. It was really nice to just order what I wanted and not worry about the cost. From a Rum Punch by the pool, or a glass of Prosecco at dinner, to a Mai Tai at Coco Cay, for me it was a good investment on my vacation.

4. Perfect Day at Coco Cay: And it really was! We spent our time mostly at Thrill Water Park. My son went down every slide and enjoyed hanging out with other teens. There is so much to do there too for younger kids including Splash Away Bay and Chill Island. Grownups can be kid free at Hideaway Beach. There are several excellent locations to grab lunch and you can use the drink package there as well. It definitely was a perfect day!

5. Aqua 80 Too: This show was by far the BEST entertainment I have seen on a cruise ship. Set to the soundtrack I grew up on dancers performed in the water. Divers from high above gracefully dove through the Aqua Theater. Aerial performers twirled above the audience and tight rope walkers dared to amaze us. I was so glad I reserved this show in advance and would definitely see it again!
