#13: Utopia of the Seas Ultimate Family Suite

There’s cruising… and then there’s cruising in the Ultimate Family Suite on Royal Caribbean’s newest megaship, Utopia of the Seas.

Samantha Bailey—travel advisor and founder of Endeavor Travel Group—joins Krystal to talk about her family’s unforgettable stay in this two-story, jaw-dropping suite. From matching pajamas waiting on their beds to custom coffee deliveries and full-sized tubs for toddlers, every detail was magic. Add in a Royal Genie who books shows, fetches snacks, and even reserves escape room slots? It's basically a floating five-star fantasy.

With nine people in her suite (plus more family in connecting balconies), Samantha explains how service, space, and smart planning turned a large group cruise into a seamless, luxurious experience. There were private hot tubs, gourmet meals served on their balcony, reserved front-row show seating, and even fruit baskets overflowing with too much fruit—if that’s even a thing.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to have every part of your cruise just handled, consider this your golden ticket.
