A cluster of the most enticing activities is located on deck 16. There, you'll find a mini-golf course, racing dry slides, a playground, a surf simulator, a zipline, and a sports court next to a table tennis alcove.

Most of these amenities might have long lines during sea days.

The zipline is slow and short but worth trying once.

The mini-golf course is more exciting in the evening when its bright lights are on, and the daytime crowds are at dinner.

The area looks as its name describes, complete with a carousel, two rock climbing walls, a smaller netted climbing course for young children, and plenty of family programming.

The lush park is home to several food and beverage outposts.

Grab a glass of bubbles and take a break at one of the plant-lined benches. Or, start a game at the tables with built-in chess and checkerboards.

Utopia of the Seas' busy, chair-lined pool deck is home to three pools, a children's water playground, and three waterslides.

Two are racing slides, while the other looks like a giant toilet bowl.

Drop the youngsters off at the children's and teens' clubs before heading in — the glass-ceiling-lined retreat is adult-only.

Access to the large gym is also complimentary, but you'll have to pay for fitness classes or treatments at the adjacent spa and salon.

Utopia has three primary nighttime productions: figure skating "Youtopia," song-and-dance "All In," and water-based acrobatics "Aqua80too."

Youtopia's ice rink is open to guests on select afternoons. On other days, it also doubles as a laser tag arena.

Be sure to book the shows in the app or when you first board the ship.

If you can't grab a seat, other entertainment includes comedy shows and live music, such as nighttime jazz in Central Park and cover bands at the lively Music Hall.

Royal Railway — a $120 per person immersive train-themed restaurant — has become a mega-hit on the mega-ship.

It's one of Utopia of the Seas' 27 dining options, 10 of which are complimentary.

Free snacks include a poolside ice cream kiosk and food truck. For more substantial meals, grab a plate from the buffet, a sandwich from the two cafés, or a hot dog on the Boardwalk.

Dinners at Chops Grille (a steakhouse), Giovanni's (an Italian eatery), and Izumi (a Japanese restaurant) cost extra.

A meal at the seafood restaurant Hooked Seafood comes in at $65 per person, while Izumi charges about $155 for omakase.

Recognizable on-land favorites, like Starbucks and Johnny Rockets, also have an additional fee — as does shave ice at the surf simulator-adjacent bar and sweets from the candy store.

If you forgo the buffet or specialty restaurants, the ship's three-deck main dining room will be your go-to for complimentary breakfasts and dinners.

The dinner menu rotates daily, and the food is pretty decent.

Cocktails cost about $10 to $14 each, with most on the pricier side. Beers and seltzers are $7.50 to $8, while glasses of wine are more expensive at $8 to $16.

If you're a big drinker, consider purchasing the more than $100-a-day deluxe beverage package.

Utopia has 16 bars.

If you're craving a poolside piña colada, head to one of two Lime and Coconut bars.

Looking to catch the latest game? Grab a pint at Playmakers, the sports bar.

If you're a wine drinker, Giovanni's Wine Bar will be perfect for you.

It's located in the Royal Promenade, a mall-like walkway with six bars — perfect for a do-it-yourself crawl.

Start with a cocktail at the karaoke bar and end with a frozen "Pain Chiller" at the tiki-themed watering hole.

Feeling the "drunchies" coming on? Take a pit stop at the complimentary pizza slice shop.

The mega-ship is scheduled for more than 100 voyages in 2025. All but one would include a stop at Royal Caribbean's private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay.

The tropical port is separated into several sections, from complimentary beaches to an extra-fee waterpark and pool club.

Unlike being on board Utopia, there's no need to rush from one area to another — you'll likely be docked there all morning through the afternoon.

Find a calm reprieve at the plant-filled Central Park. There, you can grab a cocktail from the outdoor Trellis bar to enjoy with your takeout from the grab-and-go Izumi sushi window.

Its carousel and rock climbing walls could be irresistible to any young cruiser. A milkshake from Johnny's Rocket and a bag of candy from the candy store likely help, too.

The zipline, mini-golf course, surf simulator, sports court, and dual 10-deck dry slides are perfect for sea days.

The zipline is short, and the ping-pong tables can get busy, but at least they're complimentary (unlike the nearby arcade).

After, you can perch at a pool or hot tub in the roomy adult-only Solarium.

It's a calm complement to the colorful pool deck, where the loud music, water playground, and three pools and waterslides are as overwhelming as they are crowded.

Head to The Attic for comedy shows. The small venue is perched between Studio B, home of Utopia's ice skating show, and the Royal Theater, home of the elaborate song-and-dance production.

Looking for more intimate entertainment options? There's also a karaoke bar (if you consider that a show).

Seats fill up fast. And for good reason — the buzzy show features swimmers, divers, dancers, slackliners, and tightrope walkers.

It's a unique and impressive production, perfect for folks who enjoy the energetic, acrobatic flair of Cirque du Soleil shows.

Options range from an ice cream stand to an upscale steakhouse.

Most will be recognizable to Oasis-class fans, like the Mexican-inspired buffet El Loco Fresh and the specialty Hooked Seafood restaurant.

About one-third are complimentary, including the main dining rooms and the two grab-and-go cafés.

If you're lucky enough to snag a reservation at Royal Railway, you'll be greeted with a new American menu, an immersive train-themed setting, and a $120-per-person check.

Omakase, located inside the sushi and teppanyaki restaurant Izumi, is even pricier, at around $155 per person.

The Spare Tire snack stand is free, great for poolside guests looking to munch on sandwiches and taquitos reminiscent of 7-11.

Utopia has 16 bars, including the fan-favorite Playmakers sports bar and the English pub-themed Bell and Barley.

Pesky Parrot is a new standout addition. The immersive tiki-themed pit stop — perched inside the mall-like Royal Promenade neighborhood — is helmed by a talking animatronic parrot.

From the hanging dollar bills to the fake window with beach views, Pesky Parrot looks more like a kitschy neighborhood watering hole than a traditional cruise ship bar.

Cocktails run $10 to $14. Wines cost between $8 and $16 a glass, while beers and seltzers start at about $7.50.

The ship has 2,834 cabins. The Solarium Suite category, with its expansive views, is a first for the cruise line. Its keycard also unlocks a suite-exclusive neighborhood outfitted with a restaurant, sun deck, pool, and bar.

For a less pricey option, opt for an inside cabin.

Not all are dark and dingy — some have windows facing the Royal Promenade or Central Park.

Most itineraries include a stop at Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's private Bahamian island.

The cheapest is currently a three-night voyage with an additional stop at Nassau, Bahamas, starting at about $615 per person.

Good luck planning your onboard to-do list.
