Creator's Key Takeaways

Icon of the Seas is our favorite ship and this is pretty much a clone of that.

We are up here on deck 10. We're going to make our way up to deck 16 so we can get do the water slides before they get busy.

This is the adults can hide away from the kids.

It's exactly the same as Icon which is fine cuz that's our favorite ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a Surfside family suite for access to sweet spaces if you want a cost-effective way to get suite amenities.
Arrive early to the water slides to avoid crowds.
If you have teenagers, consider that the sofa beds in Surfside family suites may not be suitable for them.
