Wait a minute, I just found them today... Had' idea y'all here in VA‼️
I thank you both for encouraging people with FOMO (while the cruise is a GREAT experience) NOT to go in debt to expereince this cruise! Much respect to you both for making it a point to include that very important PSA!!!! Love the way you broke down the review into specific categories/topics, ending with the Pro's and Con's and who the cruise is and isn't for (which you explained wonderfully!!). This was a first-rate review!!! So interesting...so thorough...so helpful! Thank you.

Our pleasure! We definitely wanted to drive that home.
I did our first Royal cruise in October and the one thing we loved was the layout of the ship. Nothing was crowded!
Solo here, i can't wait on folks
We took it easy on Saturday,On Sunday, we did a full tour, which helped us out to plan the rest of the week. We had a great time. The shows were magnificent.

$1,300 for a cruise? Dang. How'd you manage that? When was the last time you went? I'm thinking of booking for 2 (I was going to go solo, but realize they just double charge you basically because of the losses they take by booking 1 person in a 2 person room) and I can't see spending less than $3,500 before all the extra expenses that are sure to accumulate during the cruise itself. I'd love any recommendations if you have the time. Thanks in advance!
Great info as usual. Thankyou Fam ❤️

Love this audio review. My hubby and I LOVED ICON! We agree with 95% of the things you stated. I do believe we enjoyed the food alot more than you all did. Lol. I took notes on the drinks for the next sailing. Winjammer was always excellent. Main dining too. Hooked ‘was’ just ok and I wasn’t feeling the mac nor asian at acquadome but the crepes…OMG! Salted caramel with was everything! Yall gotta try next time. I also discovered a few things that we missed like laser tag. But I literally tried to get it all in…3 nights of specialty dining, most of the shows, thrill island slides, hideaway infinity pool, and hideaway each at cococay. And yea that crowns edge was cute from a distance but we weren’t for it either. Lol. Ok Im rambling… Thanks for a great review. Y’all make me wanna rebook tonight!

We sailed the Marti Gras right after it debuted and it felt so packed. The venues very small with lines. And this was still during C so it wasn’t at full capacity. This video is making want to save my $$ and sail the Icon!! Thank you for great content!
Great show my family and I are sailing in two weeks on the Icon 🥃🍻
40:34 since we know we’ll be in the swim up bar and not on a lounge chair, we started to bring our belongings in a waterproof diving bag so we could just have it in the water with us. Looks like VV room service bag but made of waterproof material. Total game changer for us.

Great review! The Quest has been different for us depending on which ship we’ve been on. We found it to be really PG on Allure of the Seas. But on Liberty of the Seas this past November, there was nudity on The Quest. We noticed that it varies by ship and also length of cruise. The weekend or 4 day sailings seem to have more of a party vibe, including The Quest. Great content fam!

Hey Stanley and Lynnette. Team replay. Loving the teeshirt. want the job of the dude telling everyone their room was ready 😂. Oh no. I heard Team Reese and Rich and Jasmine speak of the smell by the MDR I think first formal night. Did you find out what it was? Anyway gonna listen while I prepare dinner and soak it in cuz my comment will be ridiculous 😂. Thanks in advance for your take on the Icon 🤗
@LifeWithUsTV

Heyyy fam. Nope they never said what that smell was, I’m thinking it was the sewage and maybe something spoiled in the kitchen.
Pickle ball is hard to find lessons for even here in the city. But agree about Playmakers… too full and badly placed. I love shooting pool on the Oasis Class, but this ship may have been a miss for Playmakers.
Great video! Appreciate the honest review!

Hey y’all, loved the review! It’s interesting to hear you say that Hideaway Beach gave Virgin vibes (we didn’t make it there since we had the kid) because we felt like the shows gave Disney, and the ship itself had some hints of Celebrity…it’s like they took the best of various different lines and created the ultimate cruise. I’m with you, we would totally do it again!
