Hey peeps! You were correct …it’s always time for a cocktail lol . Zip lines ..flow riders …you crazy kids are adventurous. I was almost expecting you to rent a helicopter and parachute 🪂 on to the pool deck . Seriously though I’m liking the look of this ship . Can’t wait to see the rest of the videos 😎😎😎
WOW - Great show...and I'm talking re your vlog as well as the diving. :) The energy and excitement really comes through. I LOVE that idea re one elevator/day!! I should implement that everyday! Thank you for another great vlog.
We just went on our first cruise ever. We were on the Celebrity Reflection and the Utopia was parked next to us at Coco Cay. We've only been back for a few days but I'm pretty sure we're going to book a weekend trip on the Utopia soon. We live 2 hours north of Port Canaveral so I think it'll be pretty doable. GREAT video review y'all. Definitely making me want to book!
Thanks for the video off to Vegas sunday 8/25 to pick up my cruise voucher, i am a little leery about going on a cruise dont want to be sea sick...but love everything about a cruise, food, drinks, fun, sun, gambling no driving, fun, gambling ha said that already!
Have fun! We have rarely had any issues with sea sickness. The Caribbean tends to be calmer so it’s easier to start out with compared to Alaska with choppier waters. Might be a good way to test the waters
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this! You guys are my favorite cruise vlogs to watch! I’m going on utopia in February. Did the non smoking casino end up actually having late night snacks?
I love your cruise vlogs! Never been to Vegas, but my husband and I LOVE cruising, mostly Royal. Do you have any more planned? We r doing our 1st Oasis class, the Oasis, in February. So excited! Rachel, u need a vlog or list of your dresses! I am short and busty and think I could make them work!
I found this style dress on Amazon! And I too am short and busty 😂! ANRABESS Women's Summer... www.amazon.com/dp/B09W2HHL5C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Swimsuits have been on cupshe I believe!
I saw this ship parked next to ours when we docked at Coco Cay. This ship has only been in service for possibly a month or less, so very cool you to got to experience this beautiful ship!
Cruise looks awesome!! Thank you for sharing w/us. This might be an impossible question, however, is it possible to do a video on how to choose a cruise and do’s/don’ts on options ??
Great suggestion! We have talked about something like before. I could see it happening if we have a cruise with a decent amount of sea days so we can record it in that frame of mind
Hi guys. Awesome as always. Josh where did you get that skirt/or what brand is it. I know it's weird but I've been looking for one like that forever. (The navy floral one)
You are tempting us back to cruising. 😊❤ We are glad you are enjoying yourselves. We liked the new specialty restaurants. We were surprised that the Windjammer served Lobster and Crab.🥳 Is that a new feature? Thank you for your review. Hope you enjoyed your trip.
You should! We have only heard about it on these new ships on embarkation day, seems like a great thing to do the lobster and crab for new ships with the prices being so high generlaly
Nice vlog! I can’t wait to go in December! I’m doing mason jar for brunch on embarkation day as well! Your vlog is getting me excited! December needs to hurry up lol I so shocked they haven’t made their cinnamon rolls more moist.. I’ve seen a lot of complaints about it being too dry.
@@JoshRachael Thanks for that list of things to do! I’m on a 4 night so I’m going to try to knock this list off as well! And all the bars! Lol 😆 I’ll be vlogging too lol
Hello Josh and Rachel I would like to know if January 2025 is a good momth to sail to Bhamas from Orlando taking Utopia? Just wondering … I hope the ocean is calm. Wanted to here your opinion.
It was hard to get, we booked it the moment we saw it available. About 3 weeks out from sailing it went live. Tried to book it for 2 but it said not available, tried booking for 4 and boom we were in
@@thequeenofcruises6008 Yes that is how RC does it currently. We recommend that the moment you get onboard you go to a host desk and set up all your reservations for the cruise right away
Did Rachel have some edibles or several drinks before her meal on the ship? She is absolutely ravenous. She's eating and picking before you can even take photos. I am hollering 😂😂😂😂😂
Haha sometimes it takes us a moment to get back into the cruise video mode. Plus we were extremely excited to get back in a cruise ship so that is likely the energy you are seeing
So on Symphony there's Dazzles rather than Music Hall - I like Music Hall better and I like the format on Quantum class ships better. And marathon - go you (hit the jogging track!!)
Apologies! I’ve been thinking about how your thumbnails could be even more engaging, and I believe that we can make it possible, and we could make them pop more in the TH-cam feed. @@JoshRachael
This is a great video but this is the only video of the ship being empty now all I see on the internet is overcrowded and partying this ship is turning into a carnival so happy I watch other videos its a No for me 🤔
Haha why does she refuse? The other couple that went on this cruise with us - the girl refused to for years but we finally got her on one and now they have their 5th cruise booked in 2 years time. Now they take their kids on one 1-2x per year planned
@@JoshRachael I've never gotten a straight answer on this, just a resounding no. She's also quite resolved once she puts her mind to something, and to be honest that's one of my favorite things about her so I'll give her a pass on this 🤣 we do trips together and independently so I'll just have to experience it on one of my trips, not one of ours. She dashed my dreams of living in a houseboat quite early in our relationship; I should have seen it coming
If she loves the slots, then she might like the casino on board! And the part about you accidentally marrying someone who refuses to cruise is fucking hilarious
Wow, Utopia looks fun I have never been on a cruise. With so many to pick from this is more my style.
Thank you - Definitely won't be bored on a ship like this

It that was an option you better believe we would try to do it 🤣
Always an excellent presentation. Thanks J&R.
Thanks Kevin
WOW - Great show...and I'm talking re your vlog as well as the diving. :) The energy and excitement really comes through. I LOVE that idea re one elevator/day!! I should implement that everyday! Thank you for another great vlog.
It’s much easier to do once a day elevator on the smaller ships 😂
@@JoshRachael LOOLL

That's awesome - so glad you had fun. I think a lot of time people just need to do the first one to get hooked.

Thanks so much! Unfortunately never saw snacks in there and we went in every day I think
Great video! We are sailing on Utopia later this year so thanks so much for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!!

It was almost a month ago exactly that it had its maiden voyage. We were on the 5th sailing!
Do you have to make reservations for everything on a cruise or just makes it way easier?Never been on a cruise so just wondering.Love the videos❤️
You do not have to but definitely makes it easier
Been waiting for your guy’s cruise lol heckers I need a boat ride . Good job as always guys !
Thanks Kyle

@@TravelwithEbby heck yea! Have fun with it!
looking at booking our first cruise...thanks for the great info! what type of room did you have?
Have fun! this was a boardwalk balcony room
Class video !! Straight to the casino lol.
Haha right?!?
Brilliant vid. Looking forward to part 2
Hello Josh and Rachel I would like to know if January 2025 is a good momth to sail to Bhamas from Orlando taking Utopia? Just wondering … I hope the ocean is calm. Wanted to here your opinion.
We. Did a cruise last January and had zero issues. We find that most Caribbean cruises tend to be more calm than Mediterranean or Alaskan cruises
Are you going to have more of these great videos 😊
Yes of course! Next one will be out tomorrow
Amazing video btw I like Rachel’s dress
Thank you!!!
Loved this experience ❤
😚
How did you get the railroad restaurant reservations..I heard it’s hard to get.
It was hard to get, we booked it the moment we saw it available. About 3 weeks out from sailing it went live. Tried to book it for 2 but it said not available, tried booking for 4 and boom we were in
I have the unlimited dinning package but it won’t let me make a reservation till I get to the ship.
@@thequeenofcruises6008 Yes that is how RC does it currently. We recommend that the moment you get onboard you go to a host desk and set up all your reservations for the cruise right away
Thank you..
I think I saw you guys on utopia, September 6th??
Not us 😊 we went the first weekend of August
Oh lol
My son was hoping we would see you! Next time mabye.
Did Rachel have some edibles or several drinks before her meal on the ship? She is absolutely ravenous. She's eating and picking before you can even take photos. I am hollering 😂😂😂😂😂

Love your dress Rachael. What brand is it and where didi you get it?
Amazon!!

Rachel love the dress you wore on embarkation on Utopia. Do you remember where u got it?
Thank you! Pretty sure it was an Amazon purchase!

Yes! Thank you for the reminder. We did enjoy Music Hall in the Quantum class ships!!
We’re heading to Vegas in October but already trying to convince Rob for this mini cruise in the spring……
Enjoy yourselves!!!!!

We think everyone should at least try one 3 day cruise.
That's a huge ship
Crazy how big these are getting. It’s like a city at sea
Churros distract me too... lol
they do that it seems
I noticed that some of your recent videos aren’t getting the traction they deserve. I believe your thumbnails could be a key area to improve.
Telling a content creator that they are doing a bad job at something is not a good way to get them to hire you. Word for the future
Apologies! I’ve been thinking about how your thumbnails could be even more engaging, and I believe that we can make it possible, and we could make them pop more in the TH-cam feed.
@@JoshRachael
100 lb dumbells. Yes!
Haha I am sure lots of people wonder why we always say how high the dumbells go since we obviously can't do them that high
@@JoshRachaelI’m still trying to…
❤
🙌🏼
We always love your cruise vlogs! Thanks, kids!
So glad! Thank you
I'm like Rachel.... No walnuts or pecans on a nice cinnamon bun..T.
Agreed but I’m good scraping them off
This is a great video but this is the only video of the ship being empty now all I see on the internet is overcrowded and partying this ship is turning into a carnival so happy I watch other videos its a No for me 🤔
People often post what they think will drive comments and views.
We post our real experience and this was it.
I accidentally married someone who refuses to go on a cruise 😢 maybe a boys' trip for me one day - this looks fun!
Haha why does she refuse?
The other couple that went on this cruise with us - the girl refused to for years but we finally got her on one and now they have their 5th cruise booked in 2 years time. Now they take their kids on one 1-2x per year planned

She dashed my dreams of living in a houseboat quite early in our relationship; I should have seen it coming
Haha I hear ya. Bummer about the Houseboat though
😂😂😂😂😂 it’s the accidentally for me! Awww I’m so sorry!😢 She has no idea what she’s missing!!!🎉🎉🎉
If she loves the slots, then she might like the casino on board! And the part about you accidentally marrying someone who refuses to cruise is fucking hilarious
