With the Utopia ship RCI introduced two new cabin categories - Solarium Suite and Sky Junior Suite.

• Solarium Suites (cat SO) are two bow-facing staterooms on Deck 14 (positioned above the Navigation Bridge's wings. Solarium Suites are similar to the Ultimate Panoramic Suites (Star Class benefits, introduced on Allure OTS and Oasis OTS), featuring a wraparound Infinite Balcony (with floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall windows).
• Sky Junior Suites (cat JY) are eight staterooms midship on Deck 6 (within the Suite Neighborhood) with expanded benefits (Sky Class) while standard Junior Suites (cat J3-J4) are Sea Class. Sky Junior Suite's perks include access to Coastal Kitchen (Suite-only complimentary restaurant/dining room).

All Suites have King-size beds, large-size bathrooms (whirlpool bathtub, separate shower), vanity area, walk-in closets, large living rooms (Queen-size double sofabed, dining area/pantry, wet bar, dry-bar, kitchen, dining table), step-out balcony (sliding floor-ceiling doors, whirlpool bathtub, sun loungers, deckchairs).

All Royal Caribbean Loft Suites are Duplex Apartments (accommodations on 2 levels/decks). They feature separate bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (1 with bathtub, 1 shower-only), large-sized outdoor terraces (with premium garden furniture, 4-seat dining tables, some have outdoor Jacuzzi tubs). Loft Suite's lower level houses the living room and dining room (dry bar, bath with shower), while the upper level houses the bedroom and the full-bath (with bathtub). Some Loft Suites are accessible (with an elevator), and some are connecting.

Royal Loft Suites have 2 bedrooms (2 twin beds /to double, 2 Pullman /bunk beds, 2 vanity/chair), 2 bathrooms (master bathroom has bathtub), dry bar (mini-fridge), living area (double sofa bed), dining room (table, chairs), media center (surround sound, large flat TV, stereo, CD/DVD player). These suite accommodations are rated among the top-10 best suites at sea. Each of them features a 1600 ft2 (~150 m2) indoor space plus the 874 ft2 (roughly 80 m2) terrace balcony (wrapping around the suite) with its own outdoor whirlpool bath and dining area. Among the suites' prominent features are also the 2-story high floor-ceiling windows (glass walls), an upstairs located bedroom (glass wall partition, with blackout curtains), adjoining bathroom (separate bathtub and shower, double-sink vanity with a bidet). On the main level, there's a second bathroom with shower. The main level's living room has a convertible to a double bed sofa. The suite's master bathroom (on level 2) is roughly the size of a standard Royal Caribbean cabin. Rated among the top suite bathrooms at sea, the Royal Loft Suite's bath (included in the suite combo image below) features an open-space design, a huge-size whirlpool tub, floor-ceiling windows with ocean view, 2 rain-head faucets, 2 sinks, a bidet, ample cabinet space for storing toiletries and towels. Royal Loft Suite prices start at USD 1200 per person - per night!

Crown Loft and Owners Suites have a living room (double sofabed), dining room (dry bar, 4-seat table), bathroom (with bathtub), bedroom (with twins /convertible to double bed), balcony (outdoor dining area with a 4-seat table and wet/dry bars).

Also unique for RCI Oasis-class cruise liners are the aft-facing Aqua Theater Suites with huge wraparound balconies overlooking the ship's Aqua Theater (show lounge with large plunge pool and live entertainment). They are in two types (1-Bedroom and 2-Bedroom) and have living room (double sofabed), media center, dining area, separate bedroom (twins convertible to double bed). The larger Aqua Theater Suites are with 2 separate bedrooms (1 with double bed, 1 with bunk beds), 2 bathrooms (1 with bathtub, 1 shower-only), dining room (dry bar, 4-seat table).

Grand Suites (Family Suites) are in one type only (1-Bedroom/category GS), with a full bathroom (bathtub, 2-sink vanity), separate bedroom, living room (double sofabed), balcony (with a dining table).

All balcony staterooms have floor-ceiling sliding doors opening to a private step-out verandah. The ship's mid-aft part is humped (wider). Cabins on the aft hump's outer part are premium location staterooms. Aft on each side there are groups of hump balcony rooms considered a premium location. Since decks there are wider, these cabins have larger verandas and feature great views (side to side and also when looking down). Depending on weather/wind, aft-facing cabins may experience soot issues. Most of the aft balconies offer views of the Aquatheater.

Family Balcony cabins have 2 twin beds (to Royal King-size), bathroom (shower), living area (double sofabed), separate bathroom (with 2 bunk beds).

Boardwalk-Central Park Balcony cabins are all with step-out verandahs, while Boardwalk-Central Park View cabins have a Picture Window. These (also unique for Royal Caribbean Oasis-class ships) cruise accommodations are located above the "Boardwalk Neighborhood" and the "Central Park Neighborhood" (overlooking the ship's interior) so noise could be an issue. Be advised that all Central Park and Boardwalk balcony cabins have "interior balconies". These are not private as they can be viewed from verandas located on the opposite side.

Category 1K-Ultra-Spacious Oceanview (Family Oceanview) are cabins perfect for families with more kids. This is a family-type stateroom (bow-facing) with master bedroom (2 single twin beds convertible to a double bed), second bedroom (2 Pullman beds/upper and lower bunks), a double sofabed (in the living room), 1 bathroom (WC-shower), 2 large round-shaped windows (non-opening).

Family Interior cabins have each 2 lower single beds (convertible to Royal King-size), separate bedroom (with 2 Pullman beds/lower-upper bunk beds), 1 double sofabed.

Most Oceanviews are with a large Picture Window (size is 24 inches / 61 cm) and expanded lounge areas (with double sofabed). The exception is all forward-facing oceanviews (on decks 7 through 11), which are with slanted windows overlooking the ship's bow. The "family oceanview" cabin categories 1K (Ultra Spacious), 1R (Family Interior) and 1V (Family Balcony) are with convertible to double twin beds, 2 Pullman beds, 1 double sofabed, larger closet space, expanded the living area.

Category "Promenade View Interior" are also unique cabins available on the largest RCI cruise ships. These are inside cabins with bowed windows (bay window) overlooking the Atrium's Royal Promenade. The bow window gives more interior space and is also a great vantage point to watch the Royal Promenade's "street" activities - including the parade each evening. Remember to keep the curtains closed at night as there are Promenade cabins across the street too.

Another unique Royal Caribbean cabin type is the "Interior Virtual Balcony". The stateroom features a floor-ceiling LED screen (size 80-inch / 2 m). This is a 4K ultra-HD screen (no TV functions) that receives real-time/live video streaming from the cruise ship's outside cameras. This means you will enjoy "balcony views" without paying for the higher-priced cabins with step-out balconies.

Royal Caribbean's single cabins (Studios) are double staterooms with no single supplement required. The Studios are designed for passengers traveling solo and in categories SW-Studio Interior (with Virtual Balcony), 2O-Studio Oceanview and 2B-Studio Balcony. Studio cabin sizes range between 100-200 ft2 (9-19 m2). Currently, on Utopia OTS are not available any single cabins, which on OASIS-PLUS ships are located on Deck 4 starboard-aft.

All Utopia OTS cabins as standard/complimentary amenities offer 2 twin beds (convertible to Royal King), ample closet/drawer space, en-suite bathroom (WC-toilet, shower, single-sink vanity, hairdryer, bath products), sitting area (desk, drawers, vanity, couch/convertible sofabed), smart HDTV (infotainment system, Internet, on-demand-movies), individual air-conditioning, direct-dial phone, electronic safe box and lifejackets (in the closet), radio, minibar, Internet access, 24-hour room service (5-12 am /complimentary), European and US/UK electrical outlets, USB charging points, Internet access, individual air-conditioning. Twin beds size is 36 x 82 inch (90 x 210 cm).

In-cabin babysitting is available at an hourly fee (US$19 per kid) for 4 kids per stateroom max. For in-cabin use can be borrowed movies, toys and games suitable for kids with autism.

In-cabin coffee maker rentals are offered on the cruise ship, allowing passengers to rent an Illy Espresso machine for in-room use. The Illy coffee maker's rental pricing depends on the number of capsules - 14 capsules: (machine rental price USD 39), 21 (USD 56), 28 (USD 69) and 35 (USD 79).

Wi-Fi costs US$15 per device per day (50% discount on a second device). The Wi-Fi is always on (shipwide coverage) and super fast (even for streaming movies).

Among the new technologies implemented on all Royal Caribbean ships are the RFID wristbands (aka WOWbands). These are optional choices for replacing the RCI's traditional SeaPass cards. They allow passengers to do onboard purchases (shopping, paying for drinks and food, casino playing) and also to access their cabins. WOWBands are silicone-made, offered in different colors (black, blue, white, yellow) and can be used on other Royal Caribbean ships (need re-programming). They were first introduced on the Quantum ship as a complimentary amenity for all guests. Subsequently, RCI started charging for the WOWBands US$5 (available for purchase at the Guest Services desk). Junior Suite and above passengers receive their wristbands for free (placed in envelopes in the cabins).

Ultimate Family Suite

On Wonder OTS and Utopia OTS, Royal Caribbean introduced the "Ultimate Family Suite" - a new cabin type (8-passenger, 2-bedroom loft suite sized 125 m2 / 1350 ft2).
