I totally agree! On an Oasis class, the Aqua theatre on the Oasis held 700 people, the Ice rink held 400 while the theatre was 900-1000. Even assuming the Icon is 15-20% larger and there are 2 shows a night, it won't even cover 1/4 of the passengers. Even if they have 4 shows (2X/night spread out on 2 nights of the cruise.), it will barely cover 50% of the passengers at most?

No desire to go on it. Went on Oasis of the Seas a few years back and knew then not a fan of “large ships.” I love smaller ones. More personal service imho, and I like the feel of the sea, not a floating hotel/mall/theatre. Just my preference.

This ship seems dark and heavily shadowed on the interior promenade, central park, and surf side areas. Quite the mall vibe around the pearl, unsure if I like it or not. Like Carnival’s Mardi Gras, Celebration, and Jubilee the central atrium theater has terrible seating and simply not enough. I don’t understand why these cruise lines put so few seats in such popular spaces.

I sailed at full capacity! As a handicapped traveler the Icon was fantastic! Other than getting down to the Hideaway adults only area it, the size was wonderful it was over 6800 people sailing and it never felt like it. I was able to still see the Aqua action show even though sold out! So many options to eat other than windjammer and main dining room. I brought seasonings for the food, didn't need it...I was not disappointed and will be sailing again!

Absolutely amazing footage that captures the size of that place. It's so massive that I'd consider it to be a floating city. :)

I saw a comment about Kyle Pallo and wanted to add something. Kyle asked an employee at Crown's Edge who said that it's $49 on sea days and $39 on port days. Also, Kyle mentioned in his video, which I found interesting, that he heard somewhere that Crown's Edge was originally supposed to be free before Royal decided to add a charge to it.

@kevwwong

4 ай бұрын

I was honestly surprised that it was originally set as free. Something like that needs to run perfectly, every time. You cannot afford to have issues anywhere along the way. And if it's free, Crown's Edge will be packed non-stop. With nonstop usage, there will be an expectation of a faster turnaround time. And on something like this, the shorter the turnaround, the greater chance of something getting missed. But a price point of $40 will discourage people from using the attraction all the time, so that will likely reduce usage to an acceptable level. And of course, provide a little extra cheddar to Royal's bottom line.

@hangingwiththehowards

4 ай бұрын

Not true. The zipline is similar in the Oasis class, and lines are expected but not that bad. Zipline is free. Even the iFly skydiving simulator on Quantum class ships are free. What Royal guests expected was the same as the other amusement venues...free 1 time for everyone with appointments that have to be booked b4 being sold out, with optional extended sessions (2 times instead of 1 for this for example) that have an additional cost... and those costs are HIGH. Even Flowrider is free, with optional paid extended sessions and private lesson sessions.

And prices at those parks can get pretty ridiculous nowadays. ​ As for nickel and diming, it's a bit of a myth that DCL fanatics like to perpetuate. Disney nickel and dimes. They simply don't aggressively nickel and dime, because they are priced high enough that they don't need to. And the only comparable thing Disney includes that Royal doesn't is free soda. They charge you for alcohol. They charge you for drink tasting seminars. They charge you for bingo. They charge you to style your hair. But they won't charge kids anything for the specialty restaurants, because they're not allowed there. The justification for the high price is that Disney can provide something that Royal and Carnival and NCL never will - Disney. You get meet and greets like you do at the park. You get Disney theming. You get Disney-themed musicals. If you love going to the Disney theme parks, and the "Disney Experience", this is the cruise line for you.

To be honest, for most frequent cruisers, the ship is already the destination. Even if it’s a tame cruise line like P&O and Cunard! Cruising in and around Europe, the Mediterranean etc. is not guaranteed vacation weather, so the ship has to entertain. Most of the time, they don’t - but their clientele are a completely different demographic. The one thing that P&O, Saga & Cunard, plus other European Cruise Lines offer, above their North American counterparts, is a varied and extensive itinerary. We have longer vacation days, from work, so we can go further afield and indulge in more transatlantic crossings. But. Just getting on the ship signals the beginning of the holiday, especially if you don’t have to travel too far to get to the port!

That MSC is a nightmare. Good Luck... Bring your own food, as the food they serve is unedable at best.

If they are building 4 more with a total of 5 there will definitely be some port work going on to fit these ships that's for sure. Dredging, and building some new ones. The one shot of it sitting way out at the end of the port dock looked like a mile away 😂.

Can’t wait to get on It!

I remember, I sailed on Harmony of disease a few months after it was released to the public. The pricing was great. I’m looking at sailing dates and their prices for Icon of the seas in a year from now and they are insanely expensive.

Thanks J, my first choice will forever be Virgin Voyages but I have a son who’s turning 16, we’ve had this on the books since 2022 and it’ll be our first RCL. I’ll be booking a Virgin Solo afterward to recover!

I'm looking forward to going on this ship!❤🎉

Great overall review; thank you .

This ship is gaudy and I feel everything should be included there should be no extra fees it's like a stick up without a gun.

i dont understand it either...especially when they own their own beach island that they are charging $39-89 bucks a person...thats insane..i can stay on the boat in the pool for "free"

Never been on a cruise, but I'm thinking about it. Id love to check out a ship like this. Great review.

It does look very massive of a ship 🛳 So, you are right passengers have to take their time walking around this beautiful cruise to see where they would feel comfortable to come back to. Yes, you ate also right about make a reservation for a cabin that bis aways from the kids play ground or theme park area!! I would not be wanting to hear kids plus I would have an outer cabin with a full ocean balcony to see the ocean. Yes, the waking up in the morning and have breakfast on my balcony with mimosas is what I want!😊

Congrats on becoming a Travel Advisor. Best decision I ever made even when people told me I was crazy!

Thanks for this indepth review!

Thanks! I’m Wowed but will probably not do this one. Hoping rumors are true that they’ll be building smaller ships soon

Great video. I can’t wait to cruise on Icon

Great vid and review

75K for a suite means they are not gearing to the average cruisers, RCL trying to upscale. But how could you crowded shows with standing rooms with half capacity. It will be interesting to see how that works since RCL is considered budget cruise line along with CCL and NCL.

This was a great review! ❤

I wish the cruise ships aired the shows on the stateroom tvs or other venues for people who can't get into the theater.

I was on Oasis those clubs were lit! Had a blast! Then hit the free pizza at 3 or 4 am. Tons of baddies😄

Indeed!

Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I’m thinking about doing a cruise. Icon sounds and looks beautiful , I’m thinking of going on this ship. Your video was very helpful. Meow meow 😻 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I was on the same cruise! I'm right behind you in 0:56 with the balloons - that's too funny! Have a the video that I just posted today - maybe you will see yourself. Small world!

Doing B2Bs on Icon in April. Looks like we’re going to need both weeks.

Too large, not cruising as I remember it (I've been cruising sing 1991). The emphasis has shifted from quiet and relaxing to crowded and gaudy. Every thing requires a reservation. The reason I started cruising was to get away from the hustle and bushel of reservations required type of vacation.

On the ICON now, best cruise ever 🎉❤
