Star vs. Utopia: A Cruiser's Comparison
Welcome, experienced cruisers! Let’s create a comparison between two of Royal Caribbean's newest ships: the *Star of the Seas* and *Utopia of the Seas*. As we gather more information, your insights and comments are invaluable in shaping a useful guide. Let's explore what sets these two vessels apart.
Top Differences Noted (in progress 12/4)
- After 5 cruises on Utopia
- After 2 cruises on Star
To state the obvious, our Utopia cruises have all been 3-4 days, while the Star was 3 and 7. (The 3 night was a unique Shakedown, so can’t easily be compared.)
- There is a different vibe on 3-4 days vs. a full week. In our experience, the 7 nights are a little more relaxed, as cruisers are not trying to do “everything” in a short period. Also, the full week allows more @Sea days, which changes the activity level and often provides more “hang out by the pool time.”
