What Creators Are Saying About Cruise With Kate
I've never once gone to Giovani's and thought, 'Oh, that really broke the bank.' Like it's too good and too affordable to pass up.
Bryan and Jaidyn
This game is actually very easy and very simple. As you see, Johan the Yodeler is trying to climb the mountain, okay?

The Solarium is an 18 and older adults only section of the ship. So, if you don't want to be around the kids, come up here to the Solarium.

What Creators Are Saying
Selected quotes from our creator panel.
“This was the best food experience I've had on a cruise so far. Not always easy to book, true, but exciting, fresh, stylish. social included and dangerously good.”
“The spa might have been the favorite part of the entire ship for me. This is by far probably the most beautifully designed spa I've ever been to.”
“This is the best show in Icon of the Seas. Not just the best eye show, the best show.”
“This is the show I went to see twice and even then it wasn't enough.”
“10 out of 10. Magical chaos.”
“There's always a line, whether it's for food, reception, elevators, or just the privilege of existing.”
“Modern travel isn't just expensive anymore. It's becoming actively hostile, arbitrary, exhausting, and overpriced.”
“The ship gets busy. Very busy. Feeling like hiding in the corner.”
“The mattress wasn't great, the pillows were not good. They felt synthetic, the kind you'd find in a budget hotel.”
“The next day it's like fish mystery and lukewarm pasta.”
