Creator's Key Takeaways

It's my third time sailing on an Icon class ship, and here's what you need to know before boarding

First, Miami traffic is no joke. Definitely leave earlier than you think you need to.

Number two, your cabin won't actually be ready when you first board the ship. Cabins are ready around 1:00.

Number four, the size of this ship never gets old. You will be awestruck.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Leave earlier than you think for Miami traffic, especially on Saturdays.
✓Pack a day bag since cabins aren't ready until around 1:00 PM.
✓Use the Royal Caribbean app to book dining and shows before boarding.
✓Find and get to know a few favorite spots on the ship to avoid being overwhelmed.
✓Don't skip the sail away event for a fun experience.
