Boarding day for Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas. This ship is next-level. We stayed at the Aloft Miami Brickell before heading to Port Miami to check in, board, and explore Icon. There's so much to see, do, and eat on this ship we wished we had booked a back-to-back. #royalcaribbean #iconoftheseas #royalcaribbeancruise #cruise #embarkationday 00:00 - Introduction 01:05 - Aloft Miami Brickell Room Tour 04:33 - Port Miami/Boarding 16:00 - Coastal Kitchen Lunch 23:45 - Promenade 28:18 - Playmakers/Absolute Zero 30:45 - Surfside/Arcade 40:45 - Central Park 44:54 - Inaugural Merch Chaos 45:43 - Aqua Action clips 50:10 - Review of Boarding Day 54:48 - Evening Music with DJ Ruby Yoo / SeaStars /Phoenix 55:55 - Cruise Compass Day 1
