What’s Free on Utopia of the Seas?

Utopia of the Seas is the newest Oasis Class ship from Royal Caribbean. It debuted in July 2024, offering year-round three and four-night cruises from Port Canaveral to Perfect Day at CocoCay and Nassau. If you have a cruise booked (or are considering planning) a sailing on this new mega-sized ship, you may be wondering what is free onboard? There are a number of options for dining, activities, and more, at no additional charge. 

When planning a vacation, many cruisers forget to budget for ‘extras’ on top of the cruise fare like excursions, drinks, wi-fi, and more.

However, if you are sailing on Utopia of the Seas, there are many included options that won’t add extra expense when calculating your cruise budget. 

Following are the dining, onboard activities, and entertainment features that are completely FREE onboard Utopia of the Seas.
