Creator's Key Takeaways

it was kind of an unusual and kind of a scary situation for the crew we could see you could hear it in their their voices when they were making the announcements

the food adds B Camp is very basic uh the chick tenders were kind of something that you would probably get Frozen from Costco or Sam's Club

βœ“Be prepared for choppy waters on the ferry to St. John if you get motion sickness

YouTube Video Description↓

It's day 5 on our Icon of the Seas cruise and our second port stop is the Virgin Island of St. Thomas! In this video, we discuss our excursion to the US Virgin Islands National Park on the Island of St. John! This excursion was a Half Day tour of the Island that we purchased on the Royal Caribbean website. When we get back to the ship we went back to Thrill Island to try some more waterslides and had lunch at Basecamp. We also watched the Big Band Headliner show "ShowBand!" Icon of the Seas also has a new Parade in the Promenade called "Ships Ahoy!" and we review this parade and compare it to the other parades on other Royal Caribbean Ships. We have dinner at Coastal Kitchen again before heading to Absolute Zero for the best game show on a cruise ship: CRAZY QUEST! Come with us as we enjoy Day 5 on our Icon of the Seas cruise on this incredible ship! There was also a very scary incident on this ship when they needed to preform a medical evacuation via coast guard helicopter. There was so much to see and do on our port day in St. Thomas! We can't wait to go back to this incredible place! #IconoftheSeas #RoyalCaribbean #Cruise #Cruisevacation #Cruisetravel #Travelcouple #cruiseship #stthomas #royalcaribbeancruise #Travel #Vacation #royalcaribbeancruises #cruisetips #cruiseline #stjohn We took a 7-night cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas in October of 2024. This cruise went to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, Coco Cay and included 3 days at Sea. We booked this cruise on the Royal Caribbean website and we had a Sunset Junior Suite at the very back of the ship. We had an amazing time on this cruise and during this trip and we are going to share each part of it on this channel. Look out for future videos over the next several weeks. Our first video from this trip was about our 2 days in Miami before the cruise: https://youtu.be/E6fxA_zLLZ4?si=CKWQa5umbYG9UD47 Embarkation Day! https://youtu.be/v9tP1JQ80tY?si=Bw_cnMSSVXHxGdAx The tour of our Sunset Junior Suite stateroom: https://youtu.be/4LK-JXpGJtg?si=T0sqtstegJ7Unm6W All the fun things we did on our 3 Days at Sea aboard this amazing ship: https://youtu.be/mAtBeS7PQhU?si=ooAf9WZgGUJLENyT Our Port Day in St. Maarten! https://youtu.be/qe9abvyMPlE?si=tW7nb7Bcmw6o1MO3 For more updates and to keep up with where we're at and what we're doing, please follow us on our social media accounts.
