You guys are the best couple out there. Great job on this video. Keep having fun. I wish I had done this when I was younger. Instead, I went for owning a business with lots of employees and stress. Now retired and cruise like 4-6 cruises a year. You guys stay strong and keep enjoying life. Don't let anyone ever come between you.
Awww that’s so sweet!! ♥️ Retirement must be great after all those years of stress lol! We still both work full time on top of this. We do this for fun! Can’t wait to retire and cruise full time lol!
@ryanandkala Don't wish for retirement.. you guys are still young. Enjoy it. Have fun and make lots of memories. Then, when you do retire, you'll have great memories to look back on.
Thank you both for sharing! I have watched the entire series and I think I am ready for my Utopia cruise in March! Looking forward to the Royal Railway! You are both awesome!
Found your video today and instantly knew you were a fellow Canadian from the accent! Great video and can't wait to check out the others on your channel!
This cruise was back on September 2-6 and 6-9, we didn’t get to do Labadee on our itinerary, so you must have been on after us! I wish we got to do labadee! I have never been!!
@ryanandkala Nice! Hope you guys enjoyed your cruise! I ported at Port Canaveral near Orlando, FL and we were scheduled to only sail to CocoKay & Nassau however as a result of Hurrican Milton in FL & in attempt to keep all the guest safe on the boat, we got a free day to Labadee, Haiti... Absolutely beautiful place. My favorite so far. However we never made it to Nassau unfortunately. Looking forward to visiting Nassau as well!!!
@DiqaunColeman so glad you were able to stay safe during Milton! 🙏🏼 Such a bonus to be able to Labadee! Nassau is on a lot of cruise itineraries so you’ll get there no problem!
Ryan and Kayla, great videos, I discovered you two about a month ago follow quiet a few here on TH-cam I must say I really enjoy yours , the details you share of the ship, and of course the food !! Keep up the great work, I will be on Utopia in November which is just around the corner and I can’t wait this will be cruise number 5 for me…
That’s so great!! We are so happy to hear you’re enjoying the channel! Have a fabulous time on utopia! It’s such a blast!! Let us know what you think of her!
Great coverage! This has been such an amazing vacation. I haven’t watched one sailing (other than yours) on this ship all the way through. You really did a great job sharing, and explaining everything! I want the balcony that bellies up to the pizza 🍕 💋 👏
Thank you sooo much!!! We are so happy you enjoyed the series!! We have one more day coming too! We just had Canadian thanksgiving, otherwise thinking of the pizza would have made us hungry haha 🍕
Thank you so much. I just turned 60 and my son and daughter-in-law and granddaughter taking me on this cruise. I can’t wait to get there. I have a question do they have disco night we leave March 23 God willing
They did have a dance party in the promenade and i remember the cruise director wearing an Afro wig so I believe it may have been a 70s disco party Hope you have an amazing trip!
Thanks for sharing! Going on utopia in two weeks and this was very informative! Little disappointed about the solarium not being open air, and there being no vitality cafe on this ship though:/
@savageear next one will most likely come out next week for members and in 2 weeks for everyone else! Then next trip is celebrity silhouette in late December followed by a new years cruise on the Norwegian pearl (back to back)
Nice job. We love the Oasis class ships and are doing a back-to-back on Utopia next year. Fair warning, been sailing in suite class for several years now. Once you do, you'll never go back.
As soon as I heard Gluten Free I had to subscribe! Please tell me you did a video on what to eat GF? Need more suggestions as for what is safe! I always hate having to get the chef to talk to me…wish things were just labeled! What specifically did u eat at El Loco Fresh? I will scroll through your other videos once done to see if I can find what I am looking for! We are sailing in February!
I am also a vegetarian so at loco fresh I grab a plate, skip the line, go right to the condiments area, put lettuce, pico, guacamole, cheese, onions, and hot sauce together and make a salad! I think the black beans are safe but I also hate waiting to ask so I just avoid them to be safe! You will have an amazing time on board! I always order my dinner in the main dining room the night before just tell them you have allergies and they will hook you up with the next days menu! I do have a GF video of you scroll back to 2022! It’s got all sorts of tips there! Plus I usually include in our vlogs what I was able to eat! 🫶🏼
I’m 99% they weren’t when we were on board but thank the lord haha because it was so hot. They’re usually colder on the first day and by the sea day it heats up because of all the people and the weather!
That’s so exciting you will all have a fabulous time! Royal Caribbean does seem to accommodate for the feeding tube needs. I found this below article on Royal Caribbean blog where other cruisers discuss this issue, check it out. I’d also highly recommend to email the special needs email to make sure they’re aware of your needs and have everything on board for your cruise: special_needs@rccl.com www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/boards/index.php?/topic/37720-feeding-tube-mdr-versus-buffet/ Have an amazing time!! 🥂
We are going on Utopia on Nov. 8 and I have Celiac Disease so am really interested in the GF options. I know main dining room is good and specialty restaurants have always been very accommodating, but question any of the other areas, such as El Loco fresh and Solarium bistro. I’m very sensitive so concerned with cross contamination. I’d love to hear more about GF.
You will love utopia!!! They were super accommodating at the specialty dining areas and MDR. El loco fresh or windjammer I’m never 100% sure it’s a lot of possible cross contamination so I either explicitly ask what’s safe, or I stay away from and go somewhere that has labels or is obviously GF like fresh salads. Usually if you let them know you have celiac and can’t have gluten they will take things super seriously and let you know what you can and can’t have and they usually change their gloves and clean areas before prepping your food! Always ask before you eat especially if you’re sensitive to cross contamination!
No, not everything is included. There are certain restaurants and bars that have up charges. It’s always good to ask if it’s included before you order it.
Get as close to the middle of the ship as you can! Stay between floors 5-9. The front of the ship will feel the most movement in our experience and the back has the engines and it can be shaky sometimes. So middle is best!!
Does a ship this big feel super crowded on sea days? Or are there enough places for people to spread out so it doesn't feel so crowded (outside of embarkation day)?
There were certain places that crowded up like the pool areas and the windjammer for sure. But honestly otherwise it felt pretty well spread out! You’d notice it with booking events, it was hard to book things especially the railroad and the aqua show! So we recommend booking them as soon as you get into ship wifi - and book the railroad as far in advance as possible. Join your cruises Facebook group because they usually give a heads up when things are available to book etc
@@ariasequoia9990 For sure! If you want to see a neighborhood balcony, Oceanview balcony and interior stateroom make sure to check out our 2x Utopia embarkation day videos!
Kayla talking over you the whole time and hyper fixating on her food allergies really killed this video for me. Other than that it was great and i appreciate the tour.
The mega ships definitely aren’t are everyone! This one especially because it’s a 3 and 4 day cruise so it’s more of a party ship! That’s why it’s so important to research the ship and make sure it’s in line with your vibes! It’s a big reason why we do these ship tours and reviews!! 😊 Happy cruising!!!
It kept falling back and down on the one side. I kept trying to fix it and it just kept sliding down so instead of fixing it throughout the whole video, I just went with it lol! 😂

@bigguy1403 you’re totally right!! We can’t wish our lives away! Good to be reminded of that! 🙏🏼♥️
Love this video. The pace of it is so refreshing from the videos from other vloggers.
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it!! It was a massive ship haha! 🤣
Thank you both for sharing! I have watched the entire series and I think I am ready for my Utopia cruise in March! Looking forward to the Royal Railway! You are both awesome!
It makes us so happy when we know we helped people plan out their cruise!
Let us know what you think of utopia and the railway!!!
Have a great trip! 🥂
Fantastic tour! You two did a really great job. I hope you know how much cruise fans appreciate what you do. Thank you!
Yay!!! Love hearing this! So glad you enjoyed the tour and that we could help get you ready for any upcoming cruises!!! 🫶🏼
Found your video today and instantly knew you were a fellow Canadian from the accent! Great video and can't wait to check out the others on your channel!
We love having fellow Canadians in the community eh!? 😉
So happy you’re enjoying the channel! 🫶🏼
Great video! I was actually on this cruise. It was cool to get an extra day & Labadee, Haiti was STUNNING.
This cruise was back on September 2-6 and 6-9, we didn’t get to do Labadee on our itinerary, so you must have been on after us! I wish we got to do labadee! I have never been!!

🥰 thank you! So glad you enjoyed!!
We love you two, as always. What a great video, thank you. And, always remember it is never to early for a Cocco Locco when you are cruising!
Never ever too early for coco loco haha! 🤣 it’s one of the many cruise rules, along with calories don’t count on the cruise lol
@ryanandkala
You two enjoy yourselves and looking forward to your next video.
Stoppin and wavin 🖐😎

Great job guys! Great tour!
So happy you enjoyed it! Hope it wasn’t too long!
@@ryanandkala I like the long videos. What’s the next trip and how long till we see the next video?
@savageear next one will most likely come out next week for members and in 2 weeks for everyone else! Then next trip is celebrity silhouette in late December followed by a new years cruise on the Norwegian pearl (back to back)
We are booked on utopia of the Seas in April. Great job on going slow with your video. ! It will be my first cruise so I appreciate the specifics.
Oh wow what an amazing first cruise!! So glad this was helpful! Hope you have an amazing time in April! 🥳

Nice job. We love the Oasis class ships and are doing a back-to-back on Utopia next year. Fair warning, been sailing in suite class for several years now. Once you do, you'll never go back.
We are doing yacht club on MSC! We are terrified it will ruin us forever haha! 🤣
great tour, but where did you get your phone case??
Hahaha! Thanks! It’s from shein!!! It’s like a purse and a phone case all in 1

Do you know if any of the outdoor pools on Utopia are heated? Can’t seem to find anything reliable about it online
I’m 99% they weren’t when we were on board but thank the lord haha because it was so hot.
They’re usually colder on the first day and by the sea day it heats up because of all the people and the weather!
Cant wait going on our first cruise. And it's on the utopia of the seas in April
Woooooo!!! So exiting!!! You’re going to have a blast!!! What an amazing first cruise!!! 😎

@@ryanandkala Thank you!!
So not all the food options are included in the price? Just want to be prepared. Thank you!
No, not everything is included. There are certain restaurants and bars that have up charges. It’s always good to ask if it’s included before you order it.
for a first time cruiser, what room location do you recommend to help avoid any motion sickness possibilities?
Get as close to the middle of the ship as you can! Stay between floors 5-9.
The front of the ship will feel the most movement in our experience and the back has the engines and it can be shaky sometimes. So middle is best!!
@@ryanandkala thank you

Where did you get your outfit?!
Both our outfits are from shein 😊
Can we see some of the rooms?
@@ariasequoia9990 For sure! If you want to see a neighborhood balcony, Oceanview balcony and interior stateroom make sure to check out our 2x Utopia embarkation day videos!
Where did she get that cute outfit?
SHEIN! It’s almost always SHEIN lol
i want to go this in polska is baby make classes on ship
I feel like if I went on the utopia I wouldn’t get off the ship either. Seems like way to much to do and see in such a short time
SO much to do and SO little time lol! 😂
JAN 24-27 UPTOPIA ... cmon guys.. join us
We wish!!! We will actually be moving that weekend, so be sure to have many many drinks for us! 🥂
Kayla talking over you the whole time and hyper fixating on her food allergies really killed this video for me. Other than that it was great and i appreciate the tour.
Thanks for the feedback! 🙂
Agree 💯. The walkthrough video is good but the talking over needs some change.
You did really good with your video. I really like it. Congrats.
@normamejias6587 thank you so much!!! 😊
Even though i like cruising, this ship would be my worst nightmare, just awful.

What’s up with the shirt off your shoulder???? It was kind of weird
It kept falling back and down on the one side. I kept trying to fix it and it just kept sliding down so instead of fixing it throughout the whole video, I just went with it lol! 😂
