Creator's Key Takeaways

the new icon class includes the icon of the Seas and the star of the Seas which will be the next in the series it doesn't begin sailing until the fall of 2025

the passenger capacity on the new icon is going to be over 7,000 around 7,600 we're on The Wonder of the Seas it was 6,988 so it's actually an 8% increase in passengers

there are 24 elevators on The Wonder of the Seas you've got 12 at the front and 12 at the back interestingly on the icon of the Seas so even though there's 8% more passengers they're going to have two less elevators

the new icon is the infinite balcony and if you've seen our video about the infinite Verandas on Celebrity you know our thoughts about them

YouTube Video Description↓

Royal Caribbean is known for their massive ships with tons of bells and whistles. When it comes to largest cruise ships in the world they currently hold the top 5 spots with a soon to be new number one with the Icon of the Seas. We are going to take a look at some of the similarities and differences between the Icon class and the Oasis class of cruise ships. The Oasis Class of ships include the Oasis of the Seas, Wonder, Allure, Symphony, Harmony and Utopia of the Seas. These ships have been the largest in the world since 2009 and can accommodate over 6,500 guests. The Icon of the Seas is bigger in Tonnage and guest capacity. In our comparison of the Oasis class vs Icon class we look at some quick stats, neighbourhoods, activities, restaurants, and rooms. When comparing the Icon of the Seas vs Wonder of the Seas something really stood out to us. The Icon has an 8% increase in passenger capacity but only a 2% increase in guests. So will that be noticed at dinner service or other areas of the ship. The other very interesting point you will notice when doing an Icon of the Seas tour is that there are two less elevators and 2 extra decks for passengers. The Icon of the Seas update also includes the neighbourhoods. Some are back but others are gone and some new ones to explore. Some people will be sad to see the Boardwalk is gone but in its place is the Surfside which seems like it will be a popular area for families with kids. =-= Merchandise =-= Feed Ontario If possible please donate to your local food banks or charity, if you are in the Ontario Canada region please consider Feed Ontario https://feedontario.ca Checkout our brand new merchandise we just launched all proceeds go to Feed Ontario for the months of November and December.
