Utopia of the Seas

What We Love

The Bar Scene: With 23 bars to choose from, a spirited bar crawl is fun and easy — especially if you’re enjoying a bachelor or bachelorette party at sea. Along with longtime Royal favorites such as Schooner Bar, Boleros, The Rising Tide Bar, Trellis Bar, Playmaker’s Sports Bar, and the Bell & Barley Pub, Utopia of the Seas is the first ship to feature The Pesky Parrot, a Caribbean-inspired tiki bar revamp of the Polynesian-style Bamboo Room. It’s located on the lively Royal Promenade on deck 5, while another new addition, the al fresco Vue Bar, is on deck 15 just outside the adults-only, glass-domed Solarium Pool (also home to the Solarium Bar). Outdoor sips with an island vibe can be enjoyed at two The Lime and Coconut bars set among deck 15’s four pools or aft at the Wipeout Bar, which offers tropical libations and a view of your fellow guests catching a wave on a FlowRider surf simulator.

The Entertainment Options: Production shows in the Royal Theater, ice skating spectacles in Studio B, aquatic and high-dive performances in the AquaTheater, live stand-up comedy in The Attic, and novice singers belting out chart-toppers in Spotlight Karaoke — your nights aboard Utopia of the Seas will be jam-packed. And whether you’re a fan of hard rock, salsa, country music, or piano tunes, there’s a music venue for you. Our favorites include the classic rock cover bands in Music Hall (playing hits by Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, the Eagles, and others); the country band in The Mason Jar bar (which adjoins the ship’s southern-themed The Mason Jar restaurant); and the Latin sounds in Boleros (with accompanying hip action on the dancefloor).

Royal Railway — Utopia Station: Royal Railway — Utopia Station, a new immersive specialty dining concept comprised of two 24-seat vintage train cars, offers a simulated rail ride with passing scenery, actors in period dress, and a five-course menu inspired by a rotating theme. Royal Caribbean kicked things off with a Wild West theme, which featured an Americana-inspired menu (Soapy Smith’s Corn Chowder, Fart & Dart Baked Beans, Braised Short Ribs, and Denver Gold Bar are some of the options) paired with old-timey bandits up to no good. Silk Road, which travels scenery- and flavor-wise from Asia to Italy, is also set to debut.

The Complimentary Dining Choices: If you’re on a tighter budget, Utopia of the Seas has 11 excellent complimentary dining options: The Main Dining Room (where menus vary nightly), Windjammer Cafe (for a breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet), Solarium Bistro (for breakfast and a buffet lunch), Sorrento’s (for all-day pizza by the slice), Café Promenade (for 24/7 sandwiches and pastries), El Loco Fresh (for casual Tex-Mex), Park Café (for salads and paninis), Vitality Café (for smoothies and wraps), Boardwalk Dog House (for franks and bratwursts), and the new The Spare Tire (for food-truck eats). Have a sweet tooth? Sprinkles offers free ice-cream confections.
