Creator's Key Takeaways

One had us questioning our sanity and the other had us questioning our budget.

That's without a doubt the best rocket oyster I've ever had.

Was it worth $480 plus another tip on top of that for two of us? Probably not. Will we do it again? Probably not. But was it worth doing once? Yes.

Some of that stuff I wanted no part of, but it was fun to watch other people get crazy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do the slides as soon as you get on the ship to avoid long lines.
If you are in the Hideaway staterooms, ensure you lock the door (look for red indicator) to avoid embarrassing situations.
Ask for butter with your lobster if it isn't offered.

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

From jumping off the side of the Icon of the Seas to dropping nearly $500 on a dinner with live music and lobster foam...all in the same day. Days 5-6 onboard the Icon take you inside two of the most extreme experiences onboard: the adrenaline rush of Crown’s Edge, and the over-the-top luxury of the Empire Supper Club. One had us questioning our sanity and the other had us questioning our budget. You’ll get our unfiltered take on everything, from the nerves and laughs on Royal Caribbean’s wildest attraction to every course (and cocktail) of the ship’s most exclusive dining event. Spoiler: one of them was unforgettable… the other? You’ll see. If you’re cruising on the Icon of the Seas, or just curious what it’s like to go from full-blown panic to eating rabbit in the span of a few hours, this is the video for you. ----- ⚓ Our Trusted Travel Partners: 🤝 🛳️ Ready to Book Your Next Cruise?
