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 using magnetic hooks and baskets to maximize storage.
Bring a corded extender with specific outlet types for charging.
Use the ship's phones to call room-to-room instead of walking.
