All right, here’s a quick heads up for you when you’re at Port. Don’t assume your phone will work like it does at home just by turning off airplane mode! Before you get off the ship, double check with your carrier to see if you have an international plan or roaming Package. Otherwise, you might get hit with some seriously pricey charges.

Yes, there are ATMs onboard, but they charge service fees. If you know you’ll need cash for taxis, tips, souvenirs, or small purchases in port, bring it with you before you sail and save yourself the extra ATM charges.

Have you ever had to use the ship’s ATM? 💳

☕️ Royal Promenade Café is one of my favorite grab-and-go spots on Royal Caribbean! You’ll find FREE snacks like fresh fruit cups, little sandwiches, pastries, cookies, and other quick bites throughout the day.

Looking for a specialty coffee, latte, or espresso? Those aren’t free, but they’re included if you have a Royal Caribbean beverage package that covers specialty coffee. Otherwise, you’ll pay à la carte.

It’s the perfect place to grab a quick bite without heading to the buffet!

🚨 PSA: If you haven’t stopped at The Spare Tire on Deck 15, you’re missing out!

The mini chimis… 🤤
The raspberry-filled cheesecake… 🍰

Let’s just say my diet didn’t survive this cruise. 😂

What’s your favorite thing to grab from The Spare Tire? 👇

When the drink package kicks in.

Club Royale is my favorite place on Utopia of the seas! Don’t bother me when I’m here. I’m having a good time. Club Royale!!

Just a few weeks away from getting back on utopia of the seas! If there’s anything you’d like to see on the ship, I plan on getting a ton of footage. If there’s anything specific, just drop me a comment and I’ll make sure to cover it.

🏖️ Wondering where to get pool towels on Royal Caribbean?

You’ll find towel stations near the main pool areas, making it easy to grab one before a swim or a day in the sun. Just don’t forget to return it before your cruise ends!

Royal Caribbean may charge $25 per unreturned towel, so it’s an easy fee to avoid. Return your towel to any pool towel station before you leave the ship.

Have you ever forgotten to return a pool towel? 😅

Packing for a Royal Caribbean cruise? 👔👗 Here’s what you need to know about Dress Your Best nights!

Royal Caribbean no longer calls them “formal nights,” and dressing up is encouraged—not required. I also cover how many Dress Your Best nights you can usually expect based on the length of your cruise, plus why you should check the Royal Caribbean app before you sail for theme nights like White Night, Caribbean, or 70s.
