I like what Royal Caribbean Cruise Line (RCCL) puts out there to showcase their ships, so enjoy these videos of my favorite weekend ship away!
STEP #1:
START HERE with this video Utopia of the Seas Ship Overview by Royal Caribbean Cruise Line
STEP #2:
Review Boarding Documents information from RCCL.
Pay attention to the section on Birth Certificate if that is your method of ID.
STEP 3:
Download the RCCL app and log-in using your name and reservation number.
-Pay attention to check-in date & check-in ASAP choosing the best check-in time for your stateroom (earlier the better)
-Link your preferred payment method to your SeaPass
-Please Note: you will see everyone in your travel party in your reservation on the app, your payment is NOT linked t anyone but you and your individual SeaPass.
-Consider purchasing a Vitality Day Spa pass pre-cruise for 50% off and set an appointment time embarkment day as early as possible to board early.

MORE IMPORTANT THINGS:
Going with a group- best way to get to port.
I highly suggest everyone in the same stateroom check in together. You can caravan together, I like to find a coffee shop near the port off on I-95 as a meet up spot to caravan.
Use this Google Maps link to park right at the port terminal.
The cost is pricey at $80 for a Fri-Mon but at $20 per person its not that bad. The close walk to check-in & when you get off the ship, is great.... and all checked luggage can be dropped BEFORE parking, so take advantage of that. You thank me for not having ot carry your luggage across the parking lot.
Print your luggage tags before leaving as well, do this through the "check-in" screen on your app or the website.
