Natalie’s sister treated us to an unforgettable voyage aboard Royal Caribbean’s second-largest cruise ship called Utopia of the Seas, setting sail for the Bahamas. As first-time cruisers, we were thrilled by the nonstop delights—gourmet dining, dazzling entertainment, adventurous shore excursions, and lively onboard activities created the perfect getaway. A standout moment was exploring the turquoise waters of the cruise line’s private island, where I dove into SCUBA adventures and snorkeled among vibrant coral reefs. On the drive home, Natalie and I added a dash of history to our journey with a stop in St. Augustine, Florida — the oldest continuously inhabited European-founded city in the U.S.
