Creator's Key Takeaways

This is a new class of ship for us, but it's also exciting because I have a special guest with us.

We were saying at lunch we're a little nervous about it being too big for us.

The ship has not set sail yet. We were waiting. We partied on the top deck with the DJ, who was great, by the way.

Today was a wonderful day. We had so much fun.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Complete the safety briefing on the app before boarding to save time.
Be mindful that the cooler is not a fridge in the state room.
If staying in an interior state room, note the lack of international plugs.

YouTube Video Description

Hey guys! This cruise was super special because I not only had my parents with me, I had Sarah (my college roommate) with me for the WHOLE WEEK! We were celebrating our college graduation onboard beautiful Icon of the Seas, @RoyalCaribbean’s brand new class of ship for my family and I! Having seen vlogs and a tour of the ship beforehand, we were a bit nervous of it being too big for our liking. Watch us board the ship, explore the spots new to the Icon Class, and share our initial thoughts :) -------------------------------------------------- Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 0:23 - Breakfast 1:44 - Day's Game Plan 2:52 - Heading to Ship! 4:33 - Boarding Icon 5:43 - Walking around 7:27 - Lunch at Windjammer 8:43 - Stateroom Tour 14:51 - More exploring & Sail Away Party! 16:07 - Surprise from mom & dad :) 17:42 - Dinner + Starburst: Elemental Beauty Ice Skating show 20:20 - Thoughts & good music 21:48 - Cruise Kickoff 23:18 - Recap & goodnight :) -------------------------------------------------- Watch the series! - Boarding ICON OF THE SEAS!!! | Embarkation Day Vlog | Part 1 https://youtu.be/mHC3XaaP6nY - What to do on a sea day on a cruise...

For if this plan or this work is of human origin, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You may even be found fighting against God.'... Every day in the temple and in various homes, they [disciples] continued teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah."
