Creator's Key Takeaways
Icon of the Seas is massive, you guys. But don't get lost. We're going to walk every single deck so you can master the layout before you cruise.
I've seen many, many productions aboard cruise ships, and this is among the best. Absolutely. I don't want to spoil anything for you guys, but some of the things that go on in that theater are just mindblowing.
It's a really, really pretty space. Really is a gorgeous space, and really really peaceful as well. So nice place to hang out.
I've sailed on tons of Royal Caribbean ships and this one is pretty special. Big crew, wonderful, incredible meals.
