A Note From Erica

Hi Campbell family! I pulled together two solid options for a long weekend on Utopia of the Seas, both landing on an Ocean View Balcony and both out of Port Canaveral, so you can see them side by side and pick whichever date works better for your schedule. Details on the ship itself — the pools, the slides, the dining — are all below too, so you know exactly what you're sailing into either way.
