My first Disney Pirate Night! Found these amazing pirate scarfs waiting in my room tosay 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Coffee is one of the best ways to start your day. Free room service 24 hours a day on Disney Cruise Line is a great perk!

Day Two Photo Dump: Wow.. busy day.. trying to see everything 🙃. We were able to do the Art of the Wish Tour today. Our host for the tour Scarlett did an amazing job with the tour and showing us all the details Disney puts into their ships. First Arendale … the wallpaper is an exact replica from Frozen. She also shared the movie was based on thr Hans Christian Anderson. Disney has owned the rights to the story for many years but it family came together when they decided to make the main characters sisters.

Little Mermaid live show tonight was wonderful ❤️

Dinner at 1923 Roy Dining was the best meal so far! Love the rotational dining concept!

A little game of Wish Quest and Love Match in the Luna theater and off to bed!

Day Two Disney Education Program: Began the day with a light breakfast on the Balcony. Spent the morning learning and networking with fellow agents! Appreciative for the opportunity to participate in this immersive Disney experience 😍. Next up The Art of the Wish Tour!

Disney Dream Day One- stateroom- Ocean view Verandah

Beautiful ship! Will share more pictures of my day soon 🙃! Just a quick glimpse of the stateroom. Love layout of the bathroom with a tub/shower and sink in one area and a toilet and sink in the other. Much easier for families.

Disney Wish- Day One-Travel and Boarding Day 😳

Broke my own rule and traveled on the day of Boarding the Crusie Ship.

First time for me to travel alone so I was a little more anxious than normal. My flight was early so we chose to spend the night near the airport in Atlanta We chose Fairfield Inn and Suites-East Point. The hotel was inexpensive and there was no charge for parking which can be rare around the ATL airport. We had to leave before breakfast but that was included as well. Short ride to the airport for hubby to drop me off and make it to work on time. 😊

Security lines were not long and I made it through with my bags and quickly rode the plane train to my boarding area to begin waiting. Thankful I had no issues finding my way around.

I decided to travel with just a carryon so I had to make a lot of decisions while packing 😳. Let’s hope I made good ones!

No matter how many times you fly it’s always a little amazing when you are above the clouds ☁️ I booked a seat in comfort class for the first time. I will say I enjoyed the little bit of extra space and getting boarded early and settled.

Waiting now to Board the Tinkerbell bus 🚎 looks like I will be on the first transfer 😊

09/02/2025

So I asked my husband for his opinion on this new outfit.. he thought I was wearing pajamas 😳. In his defense I do have quite the collection of pajamas/loungewear 😂

Can I get some other opinions… pajamas or cruise wear ?

Royal Caribbean’s loyalty plan has to be the best one out there! Make sure you join when you go on your first cruise. If you are already Diamond on Royal Caribbean, the lounge on board Utopia was located on deck four with no outdoor seating. We did miss that a little however the espresso/cappuccino machine worked wonderfully that was very appreciated. We also enjoyed nightly snacks.

Didn’t really get any pictures at the shows but they were fantastic! Make sure you make your reservations ahead of time to make things easier while onboard!

07/02/2025

Get ready for a new adventure! I'm setting sail Monday on the Disney Wish for a Disney Hosted Agent Education Program!! This will be my first Disney Cruise and I am over the moon for this amazing opportunity 🚢 🌊. Please follow along with me as I post my experiences 😎. Feel free to ask any questions.

We have been to Coco-cay multiple times, lucky us! This trip we decided to get a pass to the new Hideaway Beach. Hideaway Beach is an 18 year and older private area and the passes are limited to a certain number a day. Prices are what Royal calls dynamic so they vary from sailing to sailing. We purchased ours early with some of the onboard credit we received as part of the group booking from Avoya.

Hideaway Beach was very well done! Very large heated infinity pool with a swim up bar. Lots of seating available around the pool as well as loungers in the pool. The lagoon/beach area was quiet the day we were there, very calm water and plenty of service from bar if you need a coco-loco to cool you off. It was a little cool when we got to the beach but it warmed up as the day went on.

There were some different food options available at Hideaway Beach but our group preferred the fare with the commoners. 😂

There were several nice open air bars one with live music was called On the Rocks. We enjoyed the beautiful view as well as the music.

There were two ships at Coco-Cay the day we were at Hideaway Beach and I do not believe the beach was at capacity. Did not seem crowded anywhere except the swim up bar area.

You could walk to Hideaway Beach from the ship fairly easily. A shuttle is available to bring you back and forth which would welcome during the hot summers.

Would I spend the money to go again? I don’t think so. We decided we enjoy the complementary areas just as much as we did Hideaway Beach. However, we sailed during the school year so the amount of children on board was noticeably less. During the summer months if you wanted a child free area, it may be worth the splurge

07/02/2025

So let’s talk about the food! We had two evening meals in the dining room as well as one night in the Solarium Bistro. The Bistro is a complimentary venue you just need to make a reservation on the App, which was very easy. The restaurant is buffet style but an upgrade from the food in the main buffet area. Our server was also fantastic.

07/02/2025

Kid friendly areas on Utopia of the Seas abound! From water play areas to slides the ship has a lot to offer. We chose to spend most of the day onboard in Nassau to experience the ship. We were not the only ones. 😳

This is a great ship to take kids on but in my opinion there is a lot more to do after they are potty trained 😉

07/02/2025

I wanted to share a few more pictures of Utopia of the Seas from various areas around the ship. The ship feels so much larger than other oasis class ships. Some of the well-known venues have been updated and other new ones have shown up.

For those of you who have cruised before you know how busy the ship can be on boarding day. We decided to book lunch at the revised Italian specialty restaurant on board, Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen. However, as we were touring the ship before our reservations, we stumbled upon the Solarium Bistro. This is a complementary venue and has walk-in seating for lunch. You do need to make reservations for dinner, but the same are complimentary and included with your cruise fare.

We took a look at the beautiful buffet of cold seafood with lobster and shrimp as well as beautiful salads and decided we needed to have a pre-lunch snack 🤪.

I’m sharing some pictures below from the buffet area of the Solarium Bistro as well as our second lunch at Giovanni’s Kitchen. For those of you who have been on the Oasis Class Ships, Giovanni’s overlooks the Boardwalk. We chose outside seating. It was amazing. Even though it was interrupted a little when one of our friends had to run capture a copy of the rocket launch 🚀

On this ship I definitely recommend having boarding day lunch in the Solarium ! A very relaxing experience!

We recently boarded Royal Caribbean’s newest ship Utopia of the Seas! The ship will only have this title for about five more months as the Star of the Seas is scheduled to begin sailing from Port Canaveral in August of 2025.

The sailing was booked over a year ago and we got a fantastic group rate from Avoya on an inside state room. If you can plan ahead, this is the absolute best way to get a good rate on a sailing. All group rate bookings come with refundable deposits.

We chose an inside room honestly because we knew we were not going to be in the room very much! This ship had a lot of new venues that we wanted to see and fantastic new shows! The cabin was compact, but we had enough space for the two of us.

I’ve posted some pictures of the state room below. I’ll share some other pictures of venues around the Ship on my next post.
