Good idea but we can't be away from home for 7 days & wanted the new ship!

I agree 100%

My daughter and I are going on Utopia this September for 4 nights. We were booked in a Oceanview with Large Balcony on deck 8 but decided to upgrade to a Junior Suite on deck 11. The price difference is a whopping $2,114 - Ouch! Over double the price of the cruise! I have cruised in both but taking my adult daughter who has never been on the Oasis class and was tempted to change the reservation. Now thinking about going back to deck 8 Oceanview. That price is just outrageous for a 4 night cruise and will be be too hot to really enjoy our larger balcony. I know we would enjoy the extra space and walk in closet but .... What would you do?

Sorry but we can't do both!

I've cruised in hurricane season many times so not really worried. It is the luck of the draw anyway. After talking with my daughter, we have agreed to keep the Sept. date. The July date would be more expensive (cruise, hotel & airfare) so SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER!! Can't wait!

We are booked on Utopia 9/23/24 and are thinking about changing to 7/29. Be nice to cruise sooner. A little worried about hurricane season and thought the earlier cruise might be better but you never can know. Thoughts, please??

We chose Hampton Inn/Home2Suites in Port Canaveral and decided to rent a car so we can go on down & explore Cocoa Beach. Thanks for all the replies.

My daughter & I are cruising on Utopia of the Seas in September. We will need transportation to & from Orlando airport. We will be staying one night before cruise. My daughter would like a beach/oceanfront room (Cocoa Beach) but I think Port Canaveral to see the ships going out would be nice. We don’t have transportation so would like to be able to walk to restaurants. Looking for recommendations.

My daughter and I are booked for September '24 and can hardly wait. LOVE the Oasis class ships. Can't wait to find out more about her.

Thanks so much for your perception. My daughter and I have discussed this at great length and her last text said "I think we need to do the new ship with less days. The girls trip would be 8 days if we stay in a hotel the day before and that is a long time away from Dad." So looks like it is going to be Utopia of the Seas!!! Yea!

Very true! I enjoy reading everyone's experiences. I think the Caribbean Princess would be fine to go on. We picked the reserve because my niece went on the Allure last year with my recommendation (thought it was too big) and they had a balcony room and wanted a larger room this time & the mini suite fit the bill. But I do love the Oasis class ships hence the problem making a decision.

There is a reason for the 4 days. I am leaving my DH at home and he has health issues. So the 4 days will be better in the long run.

Thanks for all the replies. If we go on Utopia, it will just be me & my daughter. Niece & her friend are staying with the Princess cruise. I am so back & forth, with the reserve package Princess is almost twice the price for just 2 more nights. We have a mini suite on Princess but could not get a Jr. Suite for a good price so we will have a ocean view balcony on Utopia but we won’t be in the room very much. We are now leaning towards Utopia!
