It costs nothing to have a picture taken by the ship's photographers. And maybe, you'll find that perfect cruise memory. Photographers have backdrops set up all over the ship every night. Stop for a minute and take some glamor shots.

You’re on a cruise. Breakfast in bed is a tradition. Fill out a door tag and food will be delivered in the morning.

BirdTravels · Tuesday at 11:18 PM

Or you can have food delivered to your stateroom morning, noon, and night.

Oh No! Say it isn't so. But it's time to go.

The ship kindly asks that you vacate your stateroom by 8:00 am so that they can turn it for the next cruise.

Arriving back in Port Canaveral, Self-Assist disembarkation started at 6:30 am. People who used passports for identification were able to use the Customs and Border Protection facial recognition system to pause for a second and then leave the terminal. Folks using birth certificates had to wait in a separate line and talk to a CBP official.

Rideshare pricing. If you have larger luggage, it is always safter to order an XL.

That's a wrap. This is where it all started 4 short days ago. Thanks for coming along with The Bird on the world's biggest weekend getaway on the new and beautiful Utopia of the Seas.

What an amazing report and superb photographs.

Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble.

On a 3-day or 4-day cruise, you have to make time if you want some pampering. The Vitality Spa has everything you need to be pampered.

Thermal Suites on Royal Caribbean ships have always been a disappointment (actually an embarrassment) and the Utopia did nothing to improve its Thermal Suite. A few hot stone loungers, a small steam room, and small sauna. That is the entire Thermal Suite.
