Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean is by far not expensive. I found cheaper deals on Royal Caribbean than I could find on Carnival for about 90% of the bookings.

Icon was one of the least crowded ships I ever went on. And it was at capacity when we went. It was full capacity, but everything's so spread out.

They're going to have hidden Easter eggs in all of the neighborhoods. So fun little idea if you got kids going on Star of the Seas.

I always say take the safe route. go down the day before.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get to the port early, even if your boarding time is later.
✓Stay at a hotel the night before if you're flying in or have a long drive.
✓Join Facebook groups for your sailing to meet other passengers.
✓If you have a late boarding time, show up early anyway; they often let you board sooner.

Ships being too crowded — Icon-class ships are designed with spread-out areas and are not crowded even at capacity.
Too many kids on board — Ships have dedicated kids' neighborhoods, so adults can avoid crowded kid areas.
