Creator's Key Takeaways

I have to say I am so so impressed it is amazing the crew are incredible the food has been incredible so far

the food has been really fantastic in there as has the whole ship I haven't had a bad meal really haven't anywhere we've been

the hall experience has been really fantastic I've been very very impressed icon really is a great ship to sale on if you are in a suite

it's incredibly incredibly expensive at the moment compared to other Cruise Lines

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book a suite cabin higher up (deck 12 or higher) and at the back of the ship for a better view and more privacy.
โœ“Use the Royal Caribbean app for everything on board, including booking excursions and checking your bill.
โœ“Avoid using the 'Sleep' mode on the cabin's smart controls as it turns off the air conditioning.
โœ“If you're in a suite, use your concierge or Royal Genie instead of going to the guest services desk.

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cabin size and headroom โ€” The cabin may feel smaller and have lower headroom; consider this if you are taller.
Noise and privacy on balcony โ€” Balcony may face high-traffic areas; book a higher deck and at the back for better privacy.
Cost of the suite โ€” The suite is expensive, but the experience is fantastic; consider using the Royal Up program for a cheaper upgrade.
