Creator's Key Takeaways

One of the biggest drawbacks to the icon class ships is that while they did an amazing job of the outer ship design, they slacked off in the rooms.

The junior suites no longer have a walk-in closet.

In the actual room itself, you only have two outlets.

There's no water pressure. This is as strong as the pressure gets.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack accordingly and bring extra things to help with storage, such as magnetic hooks.
Use magnetic refrigerator baskets or spice baskets for toiletries.
Bring a corded extender for charging, but it must be a specific type with only these outlets.
